A Conversation with Tim Gallwey
After several years of planning, production recently launched for Tim’s upcoming “Inner Game” television special targeted for initial broadcast on Flagship PBS Station WGBH later this year.
As part of this new “Inner Game” media initiative a “Conversation with Tim Gallwey” was also filmed.
From “Inner Game of Tennis” to his recently released book “Inner Game of Stress” Tim provides us with an all encompassing and enlightening commentary about his work, his journey and his “Inner Game”.
A phenomenon when first published in 1972, the Inner Game was a real revelation. Instead of serving up technique, it concentrated on the fact that, as Gallwey wrote, “Every game is composed of two parts, an outer game and an inner game.” The former is played against opponents, and is filled with lots of contradictory advice; the latter is played not against, but within the mind of the player, and its principal obstacles are self-doubt and anxiety.
