W. Timothy Gallwey est un auteur qui a introduit une nouvelle méthodologie pour le coaching et le développement de l'excellence personnelle et professionnelle dans divers domaines, qu'il nomme le "Jeu Intérieur". Son travail se concentre sur les principes d'observation sans jugement, permettant au corps de s'adapter automatiquement et d'atteindre des performances optimales. Gallwey fut parmi les premiers à présenter de manière démonstrative une méthode de coaching complète à large applicabilité, qui a depuis influencé le coaching d'entreprise, personnel et exécutif. Le "Jeu Intérieur" implique le dépassement d'obstacles internes tels que la peur et le doute, qui empêchent un individu ou une équipe d'accéder à leur plein potentiel.

"The Inner Game of Tennis" is a revolutionary program for overcoming the self-doubt, nervousness, and lapses of concentration that can keep a player from winning. Now available in a revised paperback edition, this classic bestseller can change the way the game of tennis is played.
Every golfer, whether amateur or pro, who has ever picked up a club knows what it's like to get the yips - that feeling when you inexplicably lose control of your shot, and become overwhelmed by self-doubt, tension, fear of failure and anxiety.With a new introduction from golf performance pro Peter Hudson, the multi-million bestselling The Inner Game of Golf resolves this mental interference. It is not a book about how to play golf; it is a book about how to learn golf, and its lessons can be applied to any sport. Putting aside the mechanics of golfing technique and laborious debates about strategy, this classic handbook for golfers of all levels tackles the psychological aspects of the game and reveals how you can perform to your true potential for more than brief moments at a time. Using only his Inner Game principles, without taking a single lesson and playing only once a week, Timothy Gallwey knocked 15 strokes off his game in a year. There is no physical reason why you can't hit perfect drives or sink long putts more consistently. By applying the Inner Game approach to your own game, you too can see phenomenal improvements to your scorecard.
In every human endeavor there are two games of engagement: the outer game and the inner game. The outer game is played in the public arenas of daily life, overcoming obstacles in work, family relationships, and health. The inner game is played simultaneously within the mind against such obstacles as fear, self-doubt, frustration, pain, and worry, which produce stress and stifle fulfillment. When we master the inner game, we can handle the obstacles of the outer game without stress
Gallwey, who knew virtually nothing about the mechanics of golf, understood that even the best technique collapses when the mind cracks under the game's pressure. The new edition of this groundbreaking instructional features what Gallwey calls "awareness exercises."
Suggests techniques for overcoming self-consciousness and improving musical performances, shares a variety of exercises, and includes advice on improving one's listening skills.

Fear of failure, resistance to change, procrastination, stagnation, doubt, and boredom, to name a few. Gallwey shows you how to tap into your natural potential for learning, performance, and enjoyment so that any job, no matter how long you've been doing it or how little you think there is to learn about it, can become an opportunity to sharpen skills, increase pleasure, and heighten awareness. And if your work environment has been turned on its ear by Internet technology, reorganization, and rapidly accelerating change, this book offers a way to steer a confident course while navigating your way toward personal and professional goals."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
