Take Your Game to the Golf Course

5/12/2013

 
When you work on your game, all of your practice shouldn't be just on your mechanics.  Make sure to make time to recreate scenarios you face on the golf course.  Change your targets on the range and change your clubs. Walk into each shot and develop your routine.  Play games on the putting green with one ball.  Take a wedge and putter to the chipping green and see how many you can get up and down.  The more you practice what you do on the golf course, the more comfortable you will be and the better you will be able to trust what you practice! Enjoy the walk...Play the game

Upside Down Approach to Performance

5/3/2013

 
Picture
Have you ever performed a headstand or shoulderstand? Better yet, have you been on an inversion table? If you have done either activity I'm sure you had a pretty similar experience.  Your brain went kind of blank.  Your mental chatter slowed down and you were able to really feel your body.  I encourage everyone reading this post to practice doing a headstand or shoulderstand every morning after you wake up and every evening before bed.  

I just finished reading the book A Calm Brain, by Gayatri Devi.  She describes what happens when getting calm from the bottom up.  "Your heart rate and breathing slow down.  Deep, slow breaths and a slowed heartbeat send a strong message to the core brain, signaling there is no threat in the environment, and the world is a safe place."

So give it a try tonight and see how it makes you feel.  The more you practice being in this position for say 10-20 breaths will have you on the path to a more calm state and a more relaxed mind and body, which will improve your scores immediately! Enjoy the walk...Play the game.
