Over the weekend, I made a connection that completely broke something in my head.
What if I told you that watching tennis players could unlock the secret to your best work?
There’s this moment in every great tennis match where something shifts. The player stops thinking, stops calculating, and just responds. They enter what psychologists call flow state - where time disappears and peak performance becomes effortless.
But here’s what most people miss: that same mental state isn’t reserved for elite athletes. It’s available to anyone willing to understand how it works.
The secret isn’t talent or training hours. It’s learning to quiet the voice in your head that overthinks everything. When you stop trying to control every detail and start trusting the process, something magical happens.
Your mind clears. Time shifts. And suddenly you’re working at a level that felt impossible before.
For tennis players, it happens on the court. For us, it’s everywhere - at the gym, at work, in the ideas we obsess about, the things we build.
Honestly, I’m still figuring this out.
But, what’s one thing you’ll try differently today?
