Think Winning Thoughts™
Are you frustrated with how little your play is improving given the amount of practice time you put in? Do you lose control of your emotions during a game and the worse it gets the worse it gets? If you played as good as you do in practice would you be winning more tournaments?
In any athletic event challenging athletes of similar ability, it is the one who is able to control his or her emotions that will dominate. Skill and talent will lose every time to someone with skill, talent and mental mastery.
Think Winning Thoughts™ gives you a winning edge. Developed to enhance your ability to win the mind game behind your golf game, you’ll also discover how to quickly release the thoughts that interfere with achievement – at any level.
Mastering the mental game of any sport, or even the game of life, has many facets. The first is to know what attitude winners win with and the second is to discover what your negative thought patterns and limiting beliefs are — then comes the challenging task of replacing what isn’t working for you with thoughts that will. As an athlete you will never outperform your self-image and your success is largely dependent upon the story you’re telling yourself about your game.
In any sport where mastering a technique is the difference between first and second place, developing a ‘can do’ attitude is of utmost importance. By understanding how to re-frame your learning curve you can transform your mindset from one of apprehension about the task before you to one of looking at it with enthusiasm as an opportunity to enhance your skills. If you are a junior golfer aiming for a college scholarship, a player heading to Q-school or a golf professional wanting to improve their performance at tournaments, releasing resistance or doubts can shift you into learning with ease which will quickly put you at the top of the leader-board.
Although dedication to practice, training and professional instruction along with a winning attitude are the foundation of your success, the ability to free yourself from negative thinking is the key that unlocks your potential.
