This is important, Gallwey suggests, because there is a constant inner conversation going on in all of us. One part of us tries to focus “on the game.” While it tries to play tennis or speak English, the other part is always giving instructions – “do this, don’t do that” – and evaluating, or criticizing, what we’re trying to do. When the second voice is louder, and we begin to worry about how well we’re doing, we don’t play or speak as well as we could.

The Inner Game of Tennis has long been something of a bible for performing musicians. I was first introduced to it in college perhaps even earlier. It is literally a life-changing book, and is especially helpful in figuring out how the mind works, why we get nervous, and most importantly, how to deal with that nervousness, overcome it, and perform at your highest levels.
“There is always an inner game being played in your mind no matter what outer game you are playing. How aware you are of this game can make the difference between success and failure in the outer game”

People fear 3 things, Fear of Success, Fear of Failure and Fear of Change.
In order to be successful, we must play our inner game if we want to overcome the self-imposed obstacles that prevent us from accessing our full potential”. Tim’s formula for success looks like this: Performance = potential-interference, P=p-i. According to this formula, performance can be enhanced either by growing “p” potential or by decreasing “i,” interference.
So he takes the guy with the backhand problem over to the side of the tennis court where the guy can hit the ball and at the same time see his own reflection in a huge glass mirror. Well, the guy hits the ball. It goes out of the court as usual. Tim points out that he is turning his racket. The guy gets excited.”Yeah,: he said. “I saw myself. I’m turning my racket.”
