The Inner (Mental) side of Sport

Kursinhalt

In the ‘The Inner Game of Tennis’ by W. Timothy Gallwey explores how mental focus and self-awareness can enhance athletic performance. These principles are applicable to all sports and the whole of life. Here are five core concepts from the book:


1. Self 1 vs. Self 2


   Gallwey introduces the idea of two selves: Self 1, the analytical mind that doubts and criticises, and Self 2, the body’s natural, intuitive ability to perform. 


2. Focus on the Process, Not the Outcome


   Gallwey emphasises that focusing on the process—such as the rhythm of your swing or the feel of the ball—rather than on winning or losing helps players stay present and reduce performance anxiety. 


3. The Power of Non-Judgmental Observation


   Instead of labelling mistakes as "good" or "bad," Gallwey encourages non-judgmental observation. 


4. Trust in Muscle Memory


   Gallwey suggests that players trust their muscle memory and learned skills rather than constantly “telling” themselves how to play. When players let go of conscious control, their body’s automatic abilities take over, often resulting in a more natural, fluid performance.


 5. Relaxed Concentration


   Relaxed concentration, or "soft focus," involves being aware of the game without trying too hard to control it. Gallwey teaches players to balance focus and relaxation, leading to a state of flow where they can respond naturally and effectively to the game’s demands.
