'Groundbreaking . . . I still give it to friends today' – Bill Gates 'One of the most powerful mindset books ever written' – Daniel Pink, bestselling author of Drive With unparalleled insights into the mental landscape of performance, The Inner Game of Tennis provides you with the definitive framework for long-term success. Instead of concentrating on how to improve your technique, Timothy Gallwey starts from the understanding that 'every game is composed of two parts, an outer game and an inner game'. The former is played against opponents on the court, but the latter is a battle within ourselves as we try and overcome self-doubt and anxiety. It is often won or lost before a ball has been hit. In his revolutionary approach, with applications well beyond tennis, Gallwey will teach you how to: Trust the intuitive wisdom of your body Quiet your mind of worry, fear and distraction Achieve a state of ‘relaxed concentration’, in which success comes naturally Described by Billie Jean King as her 'tennis bible', Timothy Gallwey's international bestseller has been essential reading for sports players of all abilities since it was first published in 1974. Built on a foundation of Zen thinking and humanistic psychology, Gallwey’s method has had a far-reaching impact both on and off the tennis court. Whether you want to win at tennis, write a novel, get ahead at work, or simply unwind after a stressful day, Gallwey shows you how to tap into your utmost potential. This is your key to peak performance. Review: The Inner Game of Tennis and of Darts - This book is easily transferable to other sports. My chosen sport is Darts. I'm a reasonable player who has suffered from nerves and self doubt for years. I've tried lots of other motivational books and videos but never found too much improvement until this book. The techniques make perfect sense and work with immediate results. The quiet mind you'll acquire will improve your game very quickly. Just think of it as The Inner Game of Darts ! Review: A must read for everyone - A short book, can be read in few hours, very enlightening, more than a self help book. Billie Jean rightly said it’s a bible of tennis but I think this is a real bible for living a good life. & This book reminds of Thinking Fast and Slow by Daniel Kaheman - self 1 is actually system 2 an analytical & critical thinking mindset while self 2 is more of system 1 mindset an automatic thinking based on intuition with no or little effort a key to effortless tennis like Roger Federer. ## Features - New Store Stock ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 1,275 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 2 in Racket Sports 3 in Psychological Training & Coaching 9 in Ball Games | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 9,845 Reviews | ## Images ![The Inner Game of Tennis: The classic guide to the mental side of peak performance - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71heDMgCJuL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Inner Game of Tennis and of Darts *by J***H on 21 November 2025* This book is easily transferable to other sports.

I played a lot of tennis in my youth and at a reasonable standard but unfortunately not much of it was that enjoyable, I think if I had read this book then I would have been a lot better and enjoyed it much more. There are a couple of concepts in this book that have transformed my relationship to the sport but that can also be more widely applicable to life. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Inner Game of Tennis: The classic guide to the mental side of peak performance - Winning Ugly - Essential Tennis: Improve Faster, Play Smarter, and Win More Matches --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/631603802-the-inner-game-of-tennis-the-classic-guide-to-mental](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/631603802-the-inner-game-of-tennis-the-classic-guide-to-mental) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-06-07*
