Tense, Tough Lies & Tournament Play

Playing Through With Mental Toughness

In today's world, we compete daily if not hourly - and it is essential to be mentally tough to be competitive in the business arena and on the golf course.

As a golfer, the ability to stay in state, create a strong mental consciousness and be playing at your personal best at all times, is the foundation on which your improvement is built. Quality thinking is essential to be competitive and thrive, not just survive - in any tournament you play in or any contest you take on. Even if your on a college team - the ability to work together towards something - the common vision, like a division championship, in team results or individual play - your mental toughness will constitute and unbeatable force.

To accept good advice from others is to increase one's own ability. In golf you need to go the gym, and mechanics/fundamentals practice gym and the mind gym. You need to put your team together - your coaches and you want to a successful team that beats to one heart, YOURS! The player, the pro - the talent.

Ken Blanchard, one of my best teachers said, "None of us is as smart as all of us". That is so true for the aspiring golfer as well as the professional player who understands the process and how the coaches they select impact their performance.

Here is my basic rule for winning in golf and being successful. "Mark in your mind and remember it, use it and access it as needed. What is it? References and resources to be successful. Maintaining the highest standards for yourself, knowing what you can expect from yourself - is what excellence is all about. Excellence comes from looking after the smallest detail and going the extra mile in your training. It means doing your best in everything you do - your swing, your body and your mind.

The price of success is hard work, dedication and determination. Whether you win or lose, my question is this - "Did you do your best? Did you give your all? Did you apply what you learned, were you committed?

There is always a way if you are committed. Total commitment is paramount to the ultimate performance. That is Performance Momentum.
