Tiger Woods mental game
It is no secret that the Tiger Woods mental game is second to none. Tiger Woods has achieved extraordinary results since turning professional in 1996 – he has won 14 major titles and 71 PGA Tour Events (as at September 2010)! Few may remember, that he also reached incredible heights as an amateur, winning 3 consecutive US Junior Amateur titles from 1991-1993, as well as winning 3 US Amateur Championships.So, what has separated Tiger Woods from his fellow competitors for so long? Well, Tiger admitted that his success can largely be attributed to the mental training techniques he uses. There is no doubt that Woods came to professional golf with mental powers never seen before in such a young golfer. One of the things that Tiger does so well, is focussing all his energy on the shot in hand, believing that he will hit the shot exactly as he intends to. He is also extremely good at putting a bad shot behind him, by literally erasing it from his memory! If you are keen to find out more about Tiger’s mental approach, you might want to read, “Think Like Tiger" – it will reveal his secrets for playing great golf. It includes the story of how his parents prepared him from a very early age to become the best golfer in the world. You will also learn about the golf instructors who helped him shape his strong mental game, as well as the involvement of a psychologist who trained Tiger, while he was still an amateur. The book also reveals some of the secrets on Tiger’s amazing course management skills and how he prepares for Major tournaments. I found this book really fascinating and very helpful!
