Have you ever noticed that the harder you "try" to perform well, the worse you actually do? Whether you are swinging a racket, giving a speech, or writing code, the biggest obstacle isn't the opponent across the net—it's the opponent inside your own mind.In today's 5-minute briefing on W. Timothy Gallwey's classic "The Inner Game of Tennis," we explore the battle between Self 1 (the critical, loud voice) and Self 2 (the quiet, capable body).
Discover why "trying hard" is actually a sign of mistrusting yourself, and learn the art of "relaxed concentration" to unlock peak performance.
