50th Anniversary Edition

The timeless guide, the key to peak performance in tennis and the secret to success in life!

Based on W. Timothy Gallwey's deep belief that the key to success lies not in holding the racket correctly or positioning the feet perfectly in a game but in keeping the mind clear, this transformative book gives us the tools to unlock the potential that has always been within us.

The game played in the mind of the player matters against the obstacles of self-doubt, nervousness, and lack of concentration. Gallwey shows us how to overcome these barriers by trusting the intuitive wisdom of our bodies and achieving a state of "relaxed concentration."

With chapters dedicated to self-trust and changing our habits, Gallwey's method has an impact beyond the boundaries of tennis. Whether we want to write music or a novel, succeed in our careers, or simply unwind after a stressful day, the author teaches us how to make the most of our potential.
