Are You Placing Limits On Yourself?

What would it be like to live in the shadow of Tiger Woods (or Michael Jordan or Roger Federer or Lance Armstrong for you other minded athletes)? I would say it would be pretty difficult to surpass their greatness.

When you are always measuring yourself by the best, it is pretty hard to measure up. But isn't that the problem? We limit ourselves by today's best. But that’s not the problem.

Gees. Am I confusing you? Stick with me and I’ll explain.

So what do I mean? Our golf levels of standards fluctuate from game to game. But imagine if besides you Tiger Woods decided to join you for a round of 9 holes. Would your level of play be better or worse in this instance?

I’m pretty certain that your level of game would rise dramatically.

There is no doubt that on this special occasion, your focus and your concentration on every shot would be like a laser beam. Further more, you would also be analyzing Tiger Woods game very carefully, wondering what specific aspects you could use in yours.

Your game would simply be on a different par that you had never seen before.

Why is that? That’s because consciously we demand more from ourselves than we normally would. And your unconscious mind would produce and deliver the shots.

So the question that I’m asking you is how do you normally measure yourself? And how can you achieve a higher consistent result?

Let me ask you a question why do the best golf layers have coaches? That’s because they want to reach the next plateau, the next level of greatness. Shouldn’t you?

You need to take that step if you want to massively change your result. Massive results are achieved when you apply the right mind power to your game.

Tennis Champion Virginia Wade shares Her Feelings about fear of success

In an arena that shares some remarkable similarities with golf, tennis player Virginia Wade isolates the lack of ruthlessness as her particular Achilles heel.

“I think one of my problems was that I was afraid to win, I never really won as much as I should have won. I think I’m afraid of winning, because the moment you win, you have much more pressure to continue produce similar performances.”

Wow. That is profound. So how does that relate to your game of golf? Have you ever wondered why your game goes up and down from one day to the next?

Why is it then when the moment comes it is so much harder to tackle? That is the time when you think “God, I’m just tired today; I feel awful; I don’t even feel like playing” And that’s when you desire goes out of the window.

Wanting to play your best….wanting to be consistent….wanting to win is a fair request, correct? So when the pressure is on, how well do you handle yourself? How strong is your mental game?

In today’s tennis & golf world, Roger Federer and Tiger Woods stand shoulders above the rest of the field. Although both games are vastly different, they share similarities.

What areas can you learn from them? How well can you apply this knowledge within you?

This Blogsite is specifically designed to help you maximise your golf potential. Every month, I will come out with two articles that will look at various aspects of the mental game and how we can best apply some of these techniques to ones own game.

Of course, I would be grateful for any comments, queries, questions and suggestions that you might have
