Inner Touch: Developing Sensations in Sports
It is the nightmare of every competitor: the “off day.” Those days when you can’t make a basket; you can’t feel your legs in a race; you completely lose connection with the ball. Forget the wonderful sensation of hitting a tennis ball solidly and with perfect fluidity. Forget the light sensation of your legs while running a long-distance race.
Losing the feel—the sensation—for your sport can hinder your confidence, performance, motivation, and well-being.
Get in sync with your sensations with the inner touch
Feeling your body is so fundamental, that it is easy to take it for granted.
Inner Touch gives you the keys to developing technical prowess in your sport. Unleash your unconscious mind!
Become reactive, aware, and ready for the unexpected
Use your body in a more precise and faster way, increasing your confidence, motivation, and enjoyment.
Build a somatic repertoire that is unique to you
Become attuned to your body and your sensations. Learn how to enhance the accuracy of your body maps and modify the way you feel.
