5.0 out of 5 stars An effective and inspiring guide to freeing skiers from fear, 26 Nov 1998
By A Customer
I have been reading this book for about twenty years(first publication was November 1977); it was the first of two Inner Game books which, although differing in details, both transformed my attitude to and my performance in the sports I love. I was fortunate to have been given it by a patient who was an Inner Game instructor (or rather, facilitator). If Inner Skiing has only now (1997) become widely available, thanks to the Internet, a generation of British skiers has lost out; for years it has been available only in the USA and to members of Inner Game workshops. With examples from life and from Inner Skiing workshops which are encouraging, inspiring, and often emotionally touching, the book helps skiers of all standards to confront their fears and to tap into the mind's and the body's unconscious store of knowledge and skills; the fears of "flying", falling, speed, injury, failure, and the fear of looking stupid; the knowledge locked into Gallwey's Self 2, a Self which, he teaches us, is ours too. Where his Self 1 is trying, tense, unsure, scared and controlling, Self 2 is free, relaxed, effortless, powerful, and instinctive. Gallwey and his co-author Bob Kriegel, a more experienced skier than he and a psychologist, equip their readers with simple but highly effective keys to Self 2, enabling us increasingly to find in skiing the exhilaration of the breakthrough run, and unlocking the confidence without which the sport can be an exercise in anxiety. Most of us in the UK only get to ski once a year. I reread Inner Skiing annually as an essential pre-ski exercise, and if I don't read every word I never fail to take a dose of inspiration from the paragraph in the last chapter which begins "Inside us all is a mountain with no top and no bottom. The skiing there is perfect. The snow is made of pure peace and there is not a trace of Self 1 interference.................Skiing this inner mountain has the power to satisfy the human longing to know oneself and the reason for which one was born." You may guess from this that Timothy Gallwey's is the inner game of life, with applications far beyond the realms of sport, as his other writing attests. Dr. Basil Lee, London, England.

5.0 out of 5 stars A small number of classic text that can guide skiing, 4 Jul 2000
By A Customer
Many great professionals strive to spread the exilleration and potential that exists in the mountains. It is no enditment on the majority that there are so few truly great books, but here we have one. I have been lucky enough to have a coach who has had the appraoch detailed in Inner Skiing for a number of years, although without any labels. Reading Inner Skiing I was pleased to discover the background to my coaching to date. So simple is the premise of Inner Skiing that if the reader is able to let their mind free their performance can develop to their own personnal highs. To attempt to explain Inner Skiing is meaningless. Just read, take note and try it out. Having seen similar techniques in practice, in Europe, I can vouch for the look of joy on a friends face and the quatum increase in their performance. A must for all skiers from beginners to instructors, just as long as you are not expecting a technical manual. Your mind has a greater effect on your performance.

5.0 out of 5 stars Essential reading for skiers at all levels, 5 April 2006
By K. Clark "ken_1969" (Surrey, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The inner sports series brings advanced sports psychology techniques, previously only available to elite athletes, to us all.
There are plenty of instructors in the mountains who can guide you with exercises to improve your technique, but this book goes much deeper than that.
By understanding the psychology of sport and how we learn new skills you can greatly increase your development as a skier. Clear explanations, backed by excellent anectdotal examples, help us understand how we can make the best of ourselves and our time on the mountain.
Thanks to this book, within 2 years (ie 2 weeks spread over 2 years) I have gone from an average skier who often wound up flat on his back to a very proficient and confident skier - my technique is now the envy of all my skiing friends.
Indispensable!
