An Inner Game Lesson in Body Presence
The first exercise - pay attention to your practice swings.
One of the core principles of The Inner Game of Tennis (Click Here) is to rediscover how to learn from your own experience. And the key to that is self-awareness.
Becoming more aware of your body and what you are doing generates high quality, highly relevant feedback and enables change or learning to happen quickly and effortlessly. This feedback occurs, of course, internally through your feelings and body sensations rather than from outside sources such as your coach. Neuroscientists call this proprioception.
In essence, with proprioception you tap into the billion plus sensory receptors you have throughout your body and nervous system. Most of these receptors are located in your muscles, joints and tendons. When you move, the receptors send detailed messages to your brain about your body's position in space, your balance, and your actions.
