Episode 173: The Difference Between Extraordinary and Mediocre

What game are you playing? We all may think we are all running the same race. A 1,500m race in high school is the same as in college, and the same as in the pro’s. That’s incorrect. In this week’s episode, we use an obscure book on tennis, written by the developer of Intercontinental Ballistic Missles, which explains why so many athletes think they are playing a game like the professionals they watch, but they really are playing a different game. Learn why we can’t just copy the professionals, and what we should do instead.
