Why Lessons Do Not Work

Why Lessons Do Not Work

Perhaps your idea of a golf lesson is an incorrect one, where the “darn” Golf Professional is going to bombard you with new and difficult techniques that will take a long time to implement, if ever. In the meantime you will probably be unable to get the ball around 18 holes. Luckily this is not true, and I firmly believe that the best coaches are flexible in their methods so that the individual can enjoy his game, have fun and improve, all at the same time.

Our Reptilian Brain

Our Reptilian Brain

Are You A Showroomer?

IGNORE YOUR COACH (SOMETIMES)

  What does my recent role as Darwin in a TV documentary, Tiger Woods, and the academic International Journal of Sports Science and Coaching have in common? They all highlight the potential dangers of coaching. There is only one person responsible for...

HOW TO TREBLE YOUR SALARY

‘The harder you work the luckier you get.’ How many times have you heard this expression? What does it mean? You slave for 10,000 hours, study for more qualifications, give up holidays? It could mean all these things, but my definition is a lot simpler. You become...

FOLLOW THE MONEY

Where are you in your life right now? Hopefully you will be going large on health, wealth, and happiness. Get this balance right and you will be laughing. If one or more of these buckets is a bit light then life will be somewhat less comfortable. I was networking last...

More About Luck

I mentioned earlier this year that I was going to write my next book about Luck. Little did I realise what a challenge this would be. Nor how fascinating this subject would be. Here is a sneak preview of the introduction….....
