Commitment



I wanted to share a few things from Dr. Rotella's book, "Golf Is A Game Of Confidence". As we all know, the mental to physical is 4 to 1. The mental aspect is as important as any other fundamental that we teach.

Internationally celebrated for his work in the area of applied sports psychology, Dr. Robert Rotella is consistently recognized as the Top Sports Psychologist in the world. Dr. Rotella’s golfers on the PGA Tour have won at least 25 of the 40 tournaments played for each of the last 15 years. Rotella’s book, “Golf Is Not a Game of Perfect” is the best selling sports psychology book of all time and one of the three best selling golf books in history.

  1. Characteristics of a Champion--strong willed, they all have dreams and they all make a long-term commitment to pursue those dreams.
  2. Your state of mind is a matter of choice.
  3. People by and large become what they think about themselves.
  4. Make a commitment to good thinking.
  5. Confidence doesn't guarantee success. It only enhances the chance.
  6. Confidence is the sum of all the thoughts you have about yourself.
  7. The happiest people have a sense of commitment i everything they do, whether it's playing golf, running a restaurant or selling hardware. They approach their undertaking with passion.
