ABOUT
The Inner Game of Sports is one official program created by Timothy Gallwey and exclusively delivered by authorized facilitators approved by The Inner Game Institute LLC USA.
“It is the theme of this program that neither mastery nor satisfaction can be found in the playing of any game without giving some attention to the relatively neglected skills of the Inner Game. This is the game that takes place in the mind of the player, and it is played against such obstacles as lapses in concentration, nervousness, self-doubt and self-condemnation. In short, it is played to overcome all habits of mind which inhibit excellence in performance.”
Timothy Gallwey
Don’t stop until you’re proud of yourself
When you stop trying to fight the sensations and instead embracing them — telling yourself that what you are feeling is excitement, that the body is engaging all the systems it needs to be fully alert — an enhanced experience and outcome often follows.
If you can dream you can conquer
When you tell yourself “I need to relax,” your Self 1 is sending a signal that something is wrong — that you are stressed — and begins trying to fight the physical sensations of Self 2.
If you can’t do everything do everything you can
“It is Self 1’s mistrust of Self 2 which causes the interference known as ‘trying too hard’ and that of too much self-instruction.” Both result in tightening up, overthinking, and losing concentration. We are better off “letting it happen,” trusting instead of fighting our Self 1.
The limit is a boundary created by the mind
Self-1 is the voice inside your head that is constantly judging and telling Self-2, your physical body and nervous system
“a tremendously sophisticated and competent collection of potentialities,”
The more I trust, the easier it is to be aware. The more aware I am, the easier it is to see my choices.
LEARNING FROM THE EXPERIENCE
Learning is about the unknown. The most valuable learning and development will take place from your interaction with your work experience.
THERE IS NO NEED TO FIGHT OLD HABITS
Self 2 is your potential. Self 2 is your true self. Self 1 represents our obstacles, inner or outer ones. The main goal of Inner Game is minimize Self 1 interferences in the same moment that Self 2 is free to use all human being potentiality.
YOU ARE STRONGER THAN YOU THINK
To release himself from striving for external validation (a Self-1 desire) and instead tune in to the wonderful feeling of playing the game itself (a Self-2 experience).
