Product Information

One of my first long-term clients was AT&T. In the early 1980′s, they were faced with the challenge of changing the mindset of the largest company in the U.S. from the “bell shaped head” of monopolistic thinking to the mindset of a competitive, market-driven, entrepreneurial company. of 5 stars 2 of 5 stars 3 of 5 stars 4 of 5 stars 5 of 5 stars The Inner Game of Golf by W.

Shortly thereafter, KCET produced a six-part nationally viewed TV series called Inner Tennis, each of which focused on a particular theme such as overcoming fear, achieving concentration, breaking bad habits, etc. Inner Skiing applied the same learning techniques to an icier sport and dealt specifically with overcoming the various kinds of fear commonly experienced in that sport. How you intend to use the content (e.g. in a training program, seminar, book, printed or online course materials)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. Loved the concepts in this book and the real golf exercises given to increase ones own feel and awareness. W. Timothy Gallwey’s best-selling Inner Game books–with over one million copies sold–have revolutionized the way we think about sports. And now, after twenty years of applying his Inner Game methods to the royal and ancient sport of golf, Gallwey brings us this completely revised edition of his classic The Inner Game of Golf, nearly half of which is new material, published here for the first time. Golf is a game that is at once exhilarating and frustrating. The possibilities for perfection excite the player, but the game has the uncanny ability to expose weaknesses of mind and character of the player too.

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 The Inner Game of Performance will change the way many people relate to their work, and perhaps even more important, it offers institutions a way to simultaneously facilitate accelerated performance, learning and satisfaction in the workplace. Becoming a high performing individual and organization is far less demanding than we imagine. But it does ask each of us to honour our own inner intelligence to learn to learn and to allow our own excellence to result spontaneously.The good news is that negative mantras do not have to control your life. 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. Tiene una propuesta muy interesante no solo del aprendizaje del mismo sino también de la forma en que lo podemos encarar para que se transforme en una experiencia revitalizador At other times you may not even be aware of your own negative mantras. You don’t know why you’re “off.” You just know that you are. And this feeling of being “off” can soon become an even stronger negative mantra of its own.

The Inner Game of Golf: Mental Approach and Attitude The Inner Game of Golf: Mental Approach and Attitude

It should be stated right here at the start that making changes to your mental approach is not going to be easy. Believe it or not, it will actually be easier to make changes to your physical game than it is to make changes to the mental side of things. The mental habits you have established on the course are deeply rooted at this point, and they are not going to go down without a fight. To make positive changes in this area, you are going to have to be committed to the process. Don't expect results right away – but do expect powerful improvements as time goes by. And, in the 1990′s, Inner Game methods were used to train the top-level managers of The Coca-Cola Company in how to coach their employees, better develop the skills of their work teams, and, eventually, to move towards becoming a learning organization.Access-restricted-item true Addeddate 2013-06-25 14:16:41 Boxid IA1119411 Camera Canon EOS 5D Mark II City New York Donor Gallwey, W. Timothy; Kriegel, Robert J. (1977). Inner skiing (1sted.). New York: Random House. ISBN 0-394-42048-9. I then began to explore ways to focus the mind of the player on direct and non-judgmental observation of ball, body, and racquet in a way that would heighten learning, performance, and enjoyment of the process. With this new awareness, amateur tennis players seemed to naturally develop the instincts and physicality of much more experienced players without specific instruction. Focus. Without focus, it is going to be extremely difficult to play good golf. Unfortunately, the ability to focus on any task is something which is in short supply in the modern world. Thanks to all the distractions that are available at any given time, it is hard for many people to stay on task. Even on the golf course, you might find your mind pulled in a variety of directions, whether you are looking down at your phone or chatting with your playing partners. Now, we aren't saying that you can't chat while on the course, but you need to learn how to focus when the time is right. Before you hit each shot, there should be a few moments when you bring your mind into focus on the task at hand. After the shot has been played, you can return to your conversations as you walk up the fairway. An experienced golfer will know how to get into this kind of rhythm, moving in and out of focus over the course of a four-hour round. It would be nearly impossible to ask yourself to focus on nothing but golf from the first hole through to the last, but you do need to learn how to focus when actually playing your shots.

When you ask most executives “Which of the three work results gains the greatest support and encouragement in your work environment?” their response is overwhelmingly “Performance.” And then when you ask them “How much more priority is performance given over learning and enjoyment?” the response generally has the level way beyond the triangle so that it is only about outer performance and nothing else.W.

BOBBY JONES: "The golf swing is a most complicated combination of muscular actions, too complex to be controlled by objective conscious mental effort. Consequently, we must rely a good deal upon the instinctive (Self 2) reactions acquired by long practice. It has been my experience that the more completely we can depend upon this instinct - the more thoroughly we can divest the subjective mind of conscious control - the more perfectly can we execute our shots. That intense concentration upon results, to the absolute exclusion of all thoughts as to method, is the secret of a good shot. Few great shots are played when the mind is fixed on the position of the feet, the behavior of the left arm, etc." p27
