The Inner Game: Where Champions Are Made
When athletes recall their best performances-those magical moments when they were "in the zone"-and compare them with their worst, the difference is rarely physical. The mind messes up more shots than the body. As Tommy Bolt wisely observed, golf is played on a five-inch course-the distance between your ears. Your brain functions like a sophisticated computer controlling your body. It continuously records experiences and plays them back, treating every vivid thought as if it's happening right now. This explains why visualization works so powerfully-your body responds to mental images as if they were real. The key to athletic success lies in focusing on the task without negative thoughts intruding. Your brain can concentrate on only one thing at a time. When a struggling Cubs pitcher called me from Montreal, his mind was filled with doubt. I had him list his keys to success-locating his fastball, throwing first-pitch strikes, changing speeds-and focus exclusively on these positive elements. The result? A complete-game shutout. Remember the law of dominant thought: you get what your mind sets. When a golfer thinks "Don't hit it in the water," they've programmed failure. Think water, get water. Instead, focus on "Land the ball ten yards right of the pin." Your actions follow your thoughts. Learn to use your mind, or your mind will use you.
