Why I Write Ads for Big Tech on a Typewriter
The Inner Game of Tennis says that real focus and creative freedom isn't about focusing harder, it's about narrowing in on what's actually relevant to the task in front of you, whether that's the seams on a tennis ball or whatever detail is clear in your creativity.

A fine recommendation by a future Olympian!
He must analysethe whole stroke, and must not attempt to do it asif it were a single unit. It is true that the bornplayer, by the light of genius, does the whole stroke asa whole stroke, and perhaps is not aware that it can feedivided into parts : he may even deny it. None theless it has often been proved that it can be divided intoparts, and that to master each part separately is a mucheasier .process than to -master the whole -at once. It is -notgoing too far to say that for average people to masterthe whole stroke at once is an absolute impossibility.

Murray included reference to the game in the very firstvolume, in 1884, defining the word ace as ‘a point at rackets, lawn tennis, etc’

What a shitty non-apology apology.
Why couldn't he backtrack and give her the opportunity to participate without the press? The media storm that this has created has quadrupled any interviews she may have given. What a jackass.
