Late to the Ball Gerald Marzorati
Book review:
Late to the Ball Gerald Marzorati
The title of this book is a fun pun. This chronicles the life of this man who decided to take up tennis relatively last in life, and the age of 45. So late to the ball refers to both tennis and the concept of taking up something late in life, and the troubles with trying to train your body and mind to do something later in life, that may have been relatively easy if you had started early. This is an optimistic book in that the person taking this up later in life has different expectations that a younger person would. No expectation of a scholarship to college or actually being good enough to be a pro or semi-pro. Just taking up something for the challenge and fun of it, and to test yourself. Again, the neuroscience piece is represented here.
