The Inner Game of Tennis by Timothy Gallwey
- This book introduces a revolutionary program for overcoming the
self-doubt, nervousness, and lapses of concentration that will keep a player
from playing upto his/her abilities. Learn to play like a ZEN master and stay in
your ZONE !
A phenomenon when first published in 1972, the Inner Game was a real revelation. Instead of serving up
technique, it concentrated on the fact that, as Gallwey wrote, "Every game is composed of two parts, an
outer game and an inner game." The former is played against opponents, and is filled with lots of
contradictory advice; the latter is played not against, but within the mind of the player, and its principal
obstacles are self-doubt and anxiety. Gallwey's revolutionary thinking, built on a foundation of Zen thinking
and humanistic psychology, was really a primer on how to get out of your own way to let your best game
emerge. It was sports psychology before the two words were pressed against each other and codified into
an accepted discipline.
