The Inner Game of Tennis

Brief Summary

Have you ever encountered mental obstacles or self-doubt when working toward a goal? "The Inner Game of Tennis" explains how mastering any skill or obstacle in life requires overcoming internal distractions using tennis as an example. To teach readers how to develop a mentality that improves focus, confidence, and flow, the book presents the ideas of "self 1" (the thinking mind) and "self 2" (the unconscious mind). In his exploration of the role of the mind in athletic performance, Gallwey explains how to suppress the inner critic and let the body function as it should.
