Jared Tendler

Jared Tendler is a mental game coach and author who specializes in performance psychology for poker, trading, and golf. He is best known for The Mental Game of Poker and The Mental Game of Trading, which helped popularize structured approaches to tilt control, confidence, and decision-making under pressure.

Biografía y Trayectoria del Autor

Jared Tendler built his career from a personal frustration. As a junior golfer, he experienced a formative collapse in a 1997 U.S. Open local qualifier, missing a playoff by one shot after four short misses. At Skidmore College he became a three-time All-American and won nine tournaments, yet continued to underperform in national events. That mismatch between ability and results pushed him toward deeper study. He earned a master’s degree in counseling psychology, became a licensed mental health counselor, and in 2005 began coaching golfers, turning his own search for answers into a practical framework for performance.
