Dear Tim,
It has been a long time. I trust this message finds you well. The reason I’m writing is to support my father. He has written a memoir – The Reluctant Guru: Lifespring, est, and the Origins of the Human Potential Movement. I know he would be honred if you would consider writing a blurb for the back cover. We can send you the manuscript at your request.
Regards,
John

I took up the game of tennis back in 1976 and immediately hired a personal coach. My game went from nothing to pretty good with the coaching and especially the use of video of before and after the lessons. I then read the book by Tim, ‘The Inner Game of Tennis’ and the concept of visualization increased my game in quantum leaps compared to all the private lessons. It was cathartic! It was an epiphany! It was life changing!
Now that I am in the position to coach others in my profession of financial services consulting and sales it is still to this day a concept I share as a secret to success; visualization. A secret to success in just about anything you can imagine. Once you experience it and adopt it as a concept, process or philosophy you unlock true potential. You do have to be a positive and optimistic person and have a passion for what ever you apply it to. It helped me stay on track to get a degree, change careers and imagine success beyond any limitations other than what I placed on myself. Here’s a book that helps you see what is possible and then gives you the process for achieving any and all realistic goals.
Dear Tim-
May I write to you a personal correspondence via email? I wanted to be very respectful of this possibly being your business mail board and wanted to extend a wonderful hello and more. I met you many years ago while you were in Houston and actually helped you gather some research you were quite grateful for. I have lived since then all over the world it seems but the one constant beautiful is happening within us. I moved to Europe [Switzerland 9 yrs]and immersed myself in music and art and fine art literature and then sailed in the Caribbean and North Atlantic [11yrs.] while still enjoying fine arts all being understood clearly because of this gift we have been shown. It is truly wonderful to engage with you and communicate as I respect your work and mostly your honesty in public and private life. If you have a little time and can let me know if this is the best way to correspond as I would prefer a sense of known privacy out of respect for your best concern. If there is a better email address in other words or may I call you sometime? Pls let me know what is best.
Kindest regards always
Phillip Williams
Timothy, I had another blast about how powerful the Inner Game has been in my life. This time in relation to “training” and “discipline.”
I wanted to share it with you.
Perhaps we meet in the near future. I’m still tracking your work and progress.

Dear Mr Gallwey,
I’m 78 years old (about the same age as you I guess). The Inner Game of Golf had been sitting by my bed, unread for about two years. My golf had been so bad that I wasn’t really enjoying it any more. I’d tried everything else so I looked at your book and thought what the heck! I just want to say thanks for helping me to get all that nonesense out of my head and enabling me (humble though it be) to reach my potential. By the way, by applying the same princples my piano playing has improved too.
Kind regards,
D. M.
Hi Tim,
I really liked your book- The inner game of tennis- and would happily translate it to hungarian. I am a graduate psychology student and really am intrested in sport psychology, and especially in tennis since Ive been playing for ages. This book would be a great help for players and coaches as well. If you’re intrested in it, let me know!
Waiting for your answer!

Hi Tim…
Without knowing anything about “The Inner Game of Tennis” or the body of your work, I named an article of mine, Guiding Your Inner Game, Mindset Alignment through the 7 Creative Planets. Almost simultaneously I began working with a business coach who asked me, “Well, what do your Really Do?”. I replied, “I guide people’s inner game through Naam Yoga and Harmonyum Healing.” We changed my business name then and there and I began working on it. I’m not sure its the best business name for me, but as a musician and lover of sports, (esp. golf) I”m going to read all your books and then go from there to see if, “Guiding Your Inner Game”
which was a fluke decision is really the way to go. I appreciate you letting me comment and would appreciate any comments you may have, (or others on the forum)
Sincerely in peace and light,
Maria Francesconi
Hi Tim,
Just finished your Inner Game of Golf and am ready to read it again. What a delight. I’m playing much more golf and enjoying it so much. In the moment! Thanks Tim.

The book is wonderful indeed. If it could be renamed, it would be “How to play Tennis spiritually”. Do you have anything on improving placements in doubles? I am asking because there is no real drill for this.
Dear Tim, I started playing golf at the age of 10. I soon devoleped a passion wich I still find very unusual considering that in my country (Italy 1976) at that time there where around 25 golf courses. At the age of 12 I became very unexpectedly the national champion category under 13.In the following years I had found myself trying and trying harder to experience the sense of feeling and control over my swing and my game in general. Now at the age of 44 after reading your book for the first time I feel again the enjoyment for this game and when I play a bad shot I know I don’t have to whip myself and I dont’ get easily frustrated. Thnk you so much Alessandro
