The effects of self doubt can be minimized if we attempt to see what it is. It tends to strengthen as the challenge increases. p42 When the mind is concentrated and absorbed in what it is doing, interference is minimized and the brain is able to function closer to potential. Once Self 1 was focused in a concentration exercise, his interference with Self 2 decreased significantly, and performance instantly improved. p20 Lccn 97041272 Ocr_converted abbyy-to-hocr 1.1.20 Ocr_module_version 0.0.17 Openlibrary OL693998M Openlibrary_edition Tim Gallwey's work went on to found the current movement in business coaching, life coaching and executive coaching.

The first step of being in control of your own mantras is to become aware of them. Start the process today with a simple action. Next time you get annoyed, frustrated or stressed, stop and “listen” for the thoughts playing in your mind. At first it may take awhile to become aware of the specific negative mantras that are affecting you, but as you fix your attention on what’s going on in your head, you’ll notice that repeating themes start to emerge. An expectation of success. This is where nearly every amateur golfer in the world comes up short. Golfers are famous for their self-deprecating attitudes, frequently talking about how poorly they are playing, or how they expect to fail on a given shot. This might seem funny in the moment, and your playing partners may get a laugh out of your negativity, but this kind of thinking is making it hard to reach your potential. If you are going to play at a high level, you need to expect to play well. It really is that simple. When you stand over the ball with a target in mind, you should fully expect the ball to actually reach that target. Are you going to succeed on each and every shot? Of course not. You will succeed more often, however, if you believe in yourself. This starts on the driving range. Expect to see quality shots fly down the range during practice, and build up a level of trust in your game that most other amateurs simply don't have. If you are currently negative about your game, it is going to take some time to turn that attitude around. Once you do, however, great things can happen on the course.

Inner Game methods were then put to use in Apple Computer Company’s Leadership Development program. In my work with teams and companies, I found that a primary obstacle for most in the pursuit of a goal seemed to be stress. In 2009, I collaborated with two respected physicians, Dr. John Horton and Dr. Ed Hanzelik, to study how stress affects our bodies and minds. We explored how the Inner Game principles could help with not only stress management, but stress reduction and prevention. From this research evolved into The Inner Game of Stress.

‎The Inner Game of Golf on Apple Books

In 1971, while on sabbatical from a career in higher education, I took a job as tennis professional in Seaside, California. While teaching on the court one day, I realized that many of my instructions were being incorporated in the student’s mind as a kind of “command and control” self-dialogue that was significantly interfering with both learning and performance. When I inquired further, I found there was a lot going on in the mind of my tennis students that was preventing true focus of attention. The true professional keeps his goals high, without letting himself become so emotionally attached to them that he fears failure. His sense of his own value is independent of external results. He doesn't listen to self-doubt, nor does he perform by rote. He dances to the tune of his Self 2 intuitions. In this state of mind his attentiveness to detail is sharp and selective. He sees each situation as it is, not as he would have liked it to be, and nonjugementally he perceives in each situation opportunities to propel him toward his goal. The he gets more done than most, his acts seem relatively effortless. p49 The most difficult thing about awareness instructions is to realize that they work, when all your life you've believed only in do-instructions. p66The game brings with it the pressure of knowing one has to make every shot count because golf does not allow for many mistakes. And, because golf is a game one plays against herself (as well as others), the inner game becomes intensified, i.e. the ego is challenged and threatened. Many times, this pressure can cause the player to perform poorly, yet it is just this kind of pressure that attracts one to the game in the first place. In 1980, Random House asked me to write The Inner Game of Golf and to, in doing so, describe the learning from the point of view of a student of the game, which I was. Perhaps more than in any other major sport, the golfer is vulnerable to subtle shifts in mindset, which can have drastic impact on one’s performance. About that time Barry Green, then the lead bassist for the Cincinnati Philharmonic Orchestra approached me to collaborate on The Inner Game of Music, another activity in which both the fear of failure and doubt can be anathema to the quality of performance.
