Wonderful article, I believe the Inner game of tennis essentially describes the way a very young child learns the game. In a very non-judgmental way, a young child learns the game in much the same way as he learns to walk. Very young children tend to be ambidextrous, they use their entire body to propel the racket into the ball. Adults tend to just use their arm to swing the racket. I believe everyone should embrace the inner game of tennis, and develop a child like approach to learning that is non-judgmental and yet highly effective.

Very well said, Norman! Children learn naturally and effortlessly because they are endowed with a powerful learning engine that starts with relaxed focus. Their brains haven't developed enough to interfere.
