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.

The new edition of this remarkable work--Billie Jean King called the original her tennis bible--refines Gallwey's theories on concentration, gamesmanship, breaking bad habits, learning to trust yourself on the court, and awareness. "No matter what a person's complaint when he has a lesson with me, I have found the most beneficial first step," he stressed, "is to encourage him to see and feel what he is doing--that is, to increase his awareness of what actually is."

There are aspects of psychobabble and mysticism to be found here, sure, but Gallwey instructs as much by anecdote as anything else, and time has ultimately proved him a guru. What seemed radical in the early '70s is now accepted ammunition for the canon; the right mental approach is every bit as important as a good backhand. The Inner Game of Tennis still does much to keep that idea in play. --Jeff Silverman -- Dieser Text bezieht sich auf eine andere Ausgabe: Taschenbuch .

Kurzbeschreibung

Das Buch „The Inner Game of Tennis“ ist mit mehreren hundert Tausend verkauften Exemplaren eines der meistverkauften Tennisbücher überhaupt. Jetzt ist die vollständig überarbeitete und umfassend aktualisierte Ausgabe des Bestsellers auf Deutsch erhältlich.

W. Timothy Gallwey und der „master zertifizierte“ Inner Game Coach Sean Brawley stellen eine noch größere Zahl an Innovativen Ideen und Übungen vor, die dabei helfen, Tennis auf eine ganz neue Weise zu lernen, zu spielen und zu geniessen.

Wie? The Inner Game schafft ein Lernumfeld, das so machtvoll ist, dass es einen verborgenen Prozess in Gang setzt, der jedem von uns angeboren ist. Mit Hilfe dieses Prozesses zeigen Ihr Gewahrsein und Ihre Instinkte Ihnen den Weg zur wahren Quelle Ihrer Kraft und Ihren Könnens.

The Inner Game führt zu dem Staunen zurück, das mit dem Lernen einhergeht... und die Ergebnisse sind nahezu unvorstellbar. Bei genauerem betrachten dieses Werkes und seiner Geschichte überrascht vor allem, dass eines der meistverkauften Tennisbücher aller Zeiten von einer großen Anzahl von Menschen erworben wurde, die überhaupt kein Tennis spielten. Weitere Recherchen ergaben, dass Gallwey von verschiedenen unabhängigen Quellen, durch die Veröffentlichung dieses Tennisbuches zum Begründer des modernen Business-Coachings erhoben wird. Eine Tatsache, die über die Qualität der Inhalte des Buches einige Rückschlüsse ziehen lässt.

A Landmark Work 20. Mai 2000

Von Ein Kunde

Format:Taschenbuch

I remember clearly the first time I read this book. It was the summer before 9th grade, almost two decades ago. I'd been playing tennis for about a year. My trusty wooden racquet in tow, I had taken lessons, read every how-to book and tried to follow all the step-by-step pictures. Also, I was getting soundly beaten by friends who'd be playing longer than myself.

I found the book in the library and was surprised at how thin it was. Then I noticed there were no pictures. I thought "What kind of tennis book has no pictures? " I started to read there next to the shelves and my life has never been the same. I wound up captain of my highschool tennis team, all-state selection, and along the way crushed the bums who used to beat me.

Now I'm almost 30 and a tennis has-been but still play a pretty good game. And whenever I go on the court (be it tennis, basketball, squash) I apply the same principles. I stop trying, stop forcing. Quiet the mind and let it happen.

As others reviewers have written in this space, this book will transform your game. It will also broaden your appreciation for what the human body can do. It will enrich your life. This is a classic and indispensible work.

Zen Tennis 27. April 2000

Von Ronald Brown

Format:Taschenbuch

This is a great book on the "zen of tennis". Provides great insight into the mental part of the game (concentration and focus - not strategy). A must for all serious tennis players and a good idea for anyone who participates in any competitive activity.

If you want to play better, read this book..... I am proof 20. April 2000

Von Dave

Format:Taschenbuch

This book cuts right through to what all tennis players inherantly know, your success on the court is directly related to what is going on in your mind. You realize that your body knows how to play, and needs no gratification or instructions by your inner critic. The less you interfere, the better your body will perform. When your mind is quiet and trusts your body's abilities is when it is has the freedom to perform.

My game improved dramatically since my first match after I read the book, one technique is to occupy your mind into silence by focusing it on something. The thing I focused on was the spin of the ball as it came to me. When I began to concentrate on that, my mind was silent and focused on the ball. When I do this, the ball seems slower and bigger. All of my strokes improved by doing this. Another thing I got out of this book is to let go of all of your lessons and ideas of how to move your feet, how to hit the ball, how to angle your raquet head. A match is no time to ponder these things it is a time to do them. When in a match, just let your body do what it knows how to do. Don't focus on details, just focus on the goal of making a good tennis shot.

All of this is wonderful, but the best thing this book has to offer, is giving the reader the understanding of how to learn in a natural way without your inner voice giving approval or disaproval. And that is a skill that will apply to all things in your life.

I can't wait to read the Inner Game of Work.
