The Inner Game of Tennis: The Classic Guide to the Mental Side of Peak Performance, by W. Timothy Gallwey

What’s the key to winning a game when you meet your opponent on the tennis court? How can someone with the best physique and the highest technical skill still lose the game? This book reveals that every game comprises two parts, an outer game and an inner game. Players play an inner game within their minds as they play the physical outer game against their opponent. Peak performance occurs only when the mind is calm and at one with the body. This book will give you a glimpse into the psychology of peak performance through the medium of tennis.
