The Inner Game of Tennis Champion Andy Murray
The Inner Game of Tennis Champion Andy Murray

Any one who aspires to become a Tennis Champions like Andy Murray could just copy his 1. Training diet 2. Winning strokes

However to really understand what makes him ‘Outstanding’ and beat Roger Federer to claim the Shanghai Masters title on the 17 October 2010 will require a deep understanding of what goes on inside his head (the Real Inner Game).

As you will know, more than 70% of our optimum performance is MENTAL! So what was it that allowed Andy Murray to sustain his focus when the pressure and anxiety was building up as the game progressed?

What thoughts, values and beliefs supported him to ‘hold his nerve’ and beat Roger Federer?

Having a balance of both psychological and physical training is key in the success of a tennis champion.

According to ‘The Law of Correspondence’ (dating back many thousands of years), it states ‘As within, so without’. An individual’s outer world (i.e. how you perform on a daily basis) is simply a manifestation of your inner world (i.e. your thoughts, beliefs and attitudes). Thus, if you want to make a significant change on the outside, you must first have a paradigm shift on the inside.

NLP Coaching gives you the tools to know what goes on inside Andy Murray’s head – His Mental Strength.

To sum up, by booking a series of sessions with an NLP Coach you will experience the following benefits: 1. Draw on into the times when you were performing ‘at your best’ 2. Pull off ‘your best’ whenever you need it 3. Overcome mental limitations that are preventing you from achieving peak performance FAST! Not in hours. 4. A significant boost in performance on a consistent basis

This book was very well written because Andre shares so many details regarding his life, is able to define tennis in so many ways, and any player can relate to the tennis problems that he had to go through.…

    Short Biography: Tiger Woods

    • 2714 Words
    • 11 Pages

    Eldrick “Tiger” Woods was born on the 30th of December 1975, the only child to biracial parents Earl, a retired lieutenant in the army, and Kultida a stay-at-home mother. Earl Woods was always the most influential person in Tiger’s life. At 10 months Tiger would sit in the garage watching his father repeatedly hit golf balls into a net for hours. It wasn’t long before Earl took Tiger out of the highchair and let him play with a small putter. “He picked up a putter, put a ball down, waggled, and hit the ball into the net. First time.” After that, Earl Woods would take his toddler son out on the practice green at the local military course, and eventually on the “eccentric-looking 18 hole course.” By four years of age, Tiger was hitting the ball perfectly; 70-yard shots that had a bit of a draw on them with a 2-½ wood. He could pop the ball up, hit it low, or hit it just with a normal trajectory, all with a 7-iron! “At four, he was like a shrunken 5-handicapper”, commented his coach Rudy Duran. Tiger had the gift for golf, he couldn’t tell you how he changed his swing at such a young age, all he could tell you was it was feel, pure and simple feel.…

    “Human improvement is from within outward.” – A simple yet true to life quote by James Anthony Froude. In my own point of view, it means improvement starts from our minds, from our hearts. Improvement starts when you feel that you need it or others need it. It starts when you feel it calling you, and when you are convinced; you will do all your best and bring it out into actions that will offer solutions to some of the problems confronting you and your surroundings.…
