Book Review: The Inner Game Of Tennis

inner Game of tennis, timothy gallwey, tennis book

This book deals with the beating yourself up that happens when you’re on the tennis court. You know, when you yell at yourself, or talk to yourself in your mind, instructing yourself what you should do? He explains that this ‘talking to yourself’ is actually a conversation that affects whether your balls land in or out.
So many players, probably all of us at one point or another, have not understood why we lose to players we know we are better than, and wonder why we miss easy shots. We often put it down to ‘it’s not my day’ because we’re not sure how it happens, it’s frustrating. But Tim, in this book, gives insights that explain why this happens to us and he shows us that it doesn’t need to be this way.
I find it hard to see a flaw with this book, probably because I used to be a player with a temper problem and I had a tendency to choke under pressure. This book changed everything.
Tim is a tennis coach and he also explains some coaching techniques to help people learn. His methods have helped me teach players more effectively. If you’re a tennis coach you will find this book invaluable.
The book gets heavy in places, but it is regardless an easy read. It is very simple to follow because it’s written in everyday language, so anyone can understand it.
I recommend every tennis player has a copy of this book so you understand the importance of your self talk and find out the secret to playing, as the TV commentators say, ‘out of your mind tennis’. You’ll discover that it all comes down to letting go and trusting yourself.
