I know coaching is gaining widespread acceptance when guys like Stewart Cink (2009 British Open Champion) acknowledge their coaches in their acceptance speeches. What’s interesting about Stewart’s acknowledgment is how he lets us know that he has both a physical and a mental coach. His renowned mental coach is Dr. Morris Pickens (http://drmolearntowin.com/about/).
In my CEO coaching we are not only emphasizing the importance of good physical technique, but also great mental technique. Good physical technique performed with poor mindset or wrong mood will not produce great results. It seems like we are so action oriented that we don’t give the proper amount of time to mental training. Our Peak Executive Workout by its very nature, tends to be thoughtful and reflective. One of our most common practices is developing greater self-awareness (of blind spots and tendencies) that enables greater performance in real-time on the job.
Personally commit to making mental practice part of your deliberate practice routine and you will be on your way to Peak Performance!
