The speaker shares five key takeaways from a book they read: finding a state of relaxed concentration, building skills through smart practice, focusing the mind to overcome obstacles, discovering technique, and emphasizing the importance of confidence. They plan to apply these lessons in their internship and future career in the hospital field. They believe that being nervous can actually lead to better performance. They also mention the importance of finding the best technique and having confidence in oneself. The speaker highly recommends reading the book "The Endgame of Tennis". There were tons of key lessons and jewels dropped through this entire book. For me personally, five of my favorite takeaways were, one, find a state of relaxed concentration that allows you to play your best, two, build skills by smart practice and put it all together in match play, three, focus your mind to overcome nervousness, self-doubt, and distractions, four, discover technique, and five, confidence is everything. For those who may not know, match play is pretty much practicing hard on what you do, discovering the proper technique and smart practice in order to put it all together in match play. Match play would be you and your profession, you and your job, you and your field, or you and your sport, whatever you do, and action that is considered match play. I tend to use all of these, I intend to use all of these in my internship slash career. Definitely build smart practice, definitely focus my mind to overcome nervousness, self-doubt, and distractions, and discover technique. In the past, I've been the kind of person to be in my own way, sometimes struggle with procrastination, sometimes struggle with a little bit of self-doubt here and there. I want to work in the hospital field, I want to work in a professional mental field, preach health, teach others about the proper way of living, health, how to be smart, eat right, stay active, et cetera. I want to discover the technique to be the best person I can in order to find the best results for my clients. For example, if that's waking up early, doing a proper meal prep for myself, using myself as a lab rat, almost, in order to find those proper skills and techniques, then that's something I want to do. I tend to get nervous sometimes ahead of the big day, and I think that is a good thing for me personally, I think it's a good thing because when I am feeling that way, I tend to go out there and do the hardest, perform the hardest, play my best. So in my internship, I want to know that just relax, just go in there, do what you're supposed to do, have fun, enjoy it, and let that translate into the real world. Discover technique is major, find the best technique that works best for me, that's something you can use just in every aspect of life. I correlate usually everything to basketball, so for me, discovering the best technique for me to be the best version of myself on the court, when it came to shooting, dribbling, playing defense, find the technique that works, obsess over that technique, and then put it all together. And lastly, confidence is everything. I want to tell myself that for this internship or for this job, I'm where I'm supposed to be. That in itself will carry me across the finish line, and me being a very motivated, driven, hard-working person, I feel like the rest will take care of itself. So yeah, this is my leadership book review, I had a great time reading this book, I recommend it to everyone else. If you haven't read it, please go read The Endgame of Tennis, and thank you so much.
