Mastery is one of my favorite books of all time. Talent is Overrated was good as well. Another I'd recommend is The Art of Learning by Josh Waitzkin. All go to show that learning is something you can get better at.
I improved a lot at basketball this summer, and it was through identifying weakness, intentional practice to improve them, and just inherently enjoying practicing despite the results (I would focus completely on my shot form, if it was good I didn't care if it went in or not). Would seriously just shoot in the gym by myself for hours.
