About this listen

In this inspirational fable, Jack McKee is a professional golfer who has just suffered through the most humiliating meltdown of his career. After years of struggle, he is ready to quit on his dream. He has convinced himself he doesn't have what it takes to make it on the PGA Tour. In an attempt to figure out why his career has ended up the way it has, Jack reaches out to one of the game's greatest former players for advice. This legendary golfer teaches Jack that the problem is not in his swing, but in his mind. As Jack learns to combat his thoughts of self-doubt and worry, his golf game improves right along with his mindset, culminating in the most important tournament of his career.

As this story plays out, you will learn: how to take control of your thoughts and make sure they are working for you instead of against you; the importance of talking to yourself instead of listening to yourself; how to develop a mental routine that will keep you in a positive state of mind; the technique used by many of the world's most successful people to make gratitude a part of their daily lives; the fastest way to fight off worry and negative thoughts; how to protect your mind from negative, anxiety-producing, and failure-oriented messages; the importance of your self-image; the key to performing at your best under pressure; how to find peace and confidence; and more.

It's a win

For anyone who competes in sports professionally, recreationally or competes in business, this book is for you. This book will help you keep your head in the game, effected less by negative thoughts. What I didn't expect, is it taught me to be ego-less.

This book won't change your life, at least not immediately. You need to practice what you learn on a consistent basis to overcome the negative thoughts that enter your mind. You also need to stay humble as you develop into the person you want to be.

Excellent
