The Inner Game of Tennis

Instead of concentrating on how to improve your technique, Timothy Gallwey starts from the understanding that 'every game is composed of two parts, an outer game and an inner game'. The former is played against opponents on the court, but the latter is a battle within ourselves as we try and overcome self-doubt and anxiety. It is often won or lost before a ball has been hit. In his revolutionary approach, built on a foundation of Zen thinking and humanistic psychology, Gallwey will teach you how to trust the intuitive wisdom of your body and achieve a state of ?relaxed concentration?. With lessons on gamesmanship and breaking bad habits, it is no surprise that Gallwey?s method has had a far-reaching impact both on and off the tennis court.
