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.

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.
