"Tim Gallwey is one of the great teachers of our time."--Peter M. Senge, author of The Fifth Discipline: The Art and Practice of the Learning Organization Have you been searching for a way to overcome your fear, trust your instincts, and ski to your greatest potential?

From understanding basic terminology and learning how to fall to nailing black diamond runs, Inner Skiing will help you: - Focus on each step of a particular technique--like the parallel turn--then put it all together so the motion seems effortless.
- Analyze your fears to distinguish between healthy fear and unnecessary fear that you can overcome.
- Achieve "breakthrough" runs in which you experience natural and coordinated movements.
- Move to the next level in your skiing ability and feel in control on the slopes.
