“If it is a bad shot, I get frustrated with myself for a few seconds, a few steps.. and then forget about it, go find the golf ball and go into the next one with a positive attitude./ take your time, don’t rush and just visualize a great shot on the next one and just commit to it. That’s all you can do. You can’t compound the negativity. You’ve got to try and be positive.”

“Telling an athlete, student, employee, what they are doing wrong is a huge mental error in performance. The power of thinking about what NOT to do pollutes the brain with the picture and idea of missing, not completing, and filling it with what you want to avoid. Language is powerful that even a hint of what you are trying to avoid can be fateful.”

Continue to persevere. And remember, no matter how dark it gets, the sun will rise again.”
