ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

The Inner Game of Tennis by W. Timothy Gallwey delves into the often-overlooked mental aspects of the sport. It posits that a player's inner state of mind is just as crucial as their physical skills. The book introduces the concept of two selves: Self 1, the conscious mind that instructs and judges, and Self 2, the body's natural ability to perform. The central theme revolves around understanding and quieting the interference of Self 1, such as self-criticism and over-analysis, to allow Self 2 to operate more effectively. By focusing on non-judgmental awareness and trust in one's natural capabilities, the book explores methods to achieve a state of relaxed concentration for improved performance on and off the court.
