When you attend one of our golf schools, we want your experience to be not only informative, but transformative.
Regardless if you attend a 1-day SPE, a 3-Day or 5-Day Build Your Game Camp or one of our speciality schools, you will receive a wealth of knowledge and hands-on instruction. However, the most important days of all our schools is the days after the schools end. It’s the days you take the knowledge and instruction you learned and apply it… You take it to the course!
Doing this will make you a better golfer. If you want to take it to the next level, This is not enough. You need to transform from the person that drove to the golf course into the person that is performing on the golf course.
Since I live in California, I will tell you a story about Kobe Bryant A former MVP Basketball player for the Los Angeles Lakers. In an interview, the reporter asked Kobe how he was able to do the things he did on the basketball court? Paraphrasing his response he said… I didn’t, that was the Black Mamba.
Kobe Bryant, like all other athletes and performers, know to be successful, you need to create a persona that can shed all the outside distractions and just execute in the moment, Be the best that they can be at that point in time.
If you are reading this article, then you also have done this in your professional/personal life. A first responder at the scene of an emergency. A fighter pilot when they climb into the cockpit. A parent when their child gets injured. At these moments you are not thinking about HOW to do something. You are drawing upon you past experiences and Performing the task at hand.
The next time you play golf. Just before you take your next swing… When you walk from Red Zone into Green Zone.
Take off your Clark Kent thinking glasses, Tell Yourself “YOU GOT THIS” …YOU ARE INVISIBLE…. YOU ARE SUPERMAN!
