Winning…
Finally, after a long search I found my bible. One of the best books I have ever read. “The Psychology of Winning” by Dr. Denis Waitley.
Here are a few of my favourite excerpts:
“Winning” is taking the talent or potential you were born with, and have since developed, and using it fully toward a goal or purpose that make you happy.” Winning is giving and getting in an atmoshpere of love, cooperation, social concern and responsibility. Winning is coming in fourth, exhausted and encouraged – because last time you came in fifth. Winning is giving yourself to others freely. Winning is never whining. Winning is treating animals like people and people like brothers and sisters. Winning is turning all the cards up in solitaire without cheating. Winning is picking up a beer can you didn’t throw on the beach. Winning is being glad you are you. Winning is habit forming (So is losing.) Winning is a way of thinking – a way of living. Winning is all in the attitude! Talent is cheap. You can buy it, and recruit it. It’s everywhere. Education is not cheap, but it’s for sale and for hire if you have the time and money. You can get your BS, MBA or PhD. You can panel your den with diplomas. But the world is full of educated derelicts, unable to relate to supportive roles with others.”
Please keep in mind this book is not specific to golf but specific to life. It’s an amazing read and I would highly suggest you go out and get it.
If you were to relate this to golf it’s very important to find the right instructor/professional that can help coach you to success. There are plenty of professionals out there with den diplomas, but would you or could you hang out with them, develop a solid relationship aside from golf because they care about you just as much as your golf swing. If you can, you’re on your way to being in a great environment where you can actually learn. So, if you’re interested in working with me based on this article and it resinates with you then get back to me and quote this article via email to me and I would certainly be interested in working with you. I currently have room for 3 more tour professionals in my stable and at the club level I’m always willing to take on new students.
