Patrick Mouratoglou is clearly one of the best coaches in the modern tennis era - just watch his YouTube tutorials and/or shorts or visit one of his Mouratoglou Academies in several locations all over the world for an tennis camp for leisure time players or training for future tennis pros, and you know what I mean. Does this have him qualify as a book author offering future business men and women advice re: How to be successful in life? I am not so sure. True, the book includes numerous tips and recommendations, principles concerning the do's and don't's, which are definitely helpful in the corporate world and beyond. Is it worthwhile? Well, it is clearly interesting. Because the examples he uses, when explaining its coaching system (never wait for the ball, approach it! - and more) stem from the world of tennis. Of course, the wisdom of Grand Slam winners or competing athletes can clearly be transferred to any other industry: keep your vision, think big, don't be intimidated. But all in all, "Champion Mindset" lacks a bit of the systematic, you'd normally find in this kind of "Ratgeberliteratur" (self-help literature), as we'd call it in German. "Champion Mindset" is rather an autobiography, a mixed bag of anecdotes about famous tennis players and the role of their coach, lots of insights and stories tennis aficionados will love - PM and Serena Williams, PM and Simona Halep -, stories about winners and losers, about victories and defeats. It is fun to read, and never boring, and another nice idea of a man, who loves his own success story in life, who loves dedicating himself to ever new projects, who never stops working and expanding his business, and who lives the passion of tennis. If you love sports and books from the orbit of athletes: I'd say: Just go for it.
