It embodies all the inherent potential we are born with, including all capacities actualized and not yet actualized.

As soon as he can distinguish between these two broad categories of movement while actually swinging, the student can be asked to distinguish more subtle changes. This book provided me with a new outlook on the game and a refreshed perspective that make all my time on the range/course more enjoyable and a positive learning experience. As Professional Coach this is the first and most excellent book I would recommend to every coach and any person looking to change the status. This program utilized the Inner Game principles to guide coaches through personalized sessions aimed towards finding and eliminating obstacles, breaking limiting patterns, and making progress toward both long and short-term goals.There are other great books on golf psychology as well that are also far more golf specific than this "bouce, hit" effort.

Only when I got sloppy with my technique or started thinking about my swing would accuracy desert me. Many times, this pressure can cause the player to perform poorly, yet it is just this kind of pressure that attracts one to the game in the first place.But if he takes the awareness instruction for what it is - simply a request that he attempt to feel what is happening with the face, no matter what it is - then there is no question of right and wrong, the mind focuses on the experience and soon experiential learning will take place as he learns to differentiate the sensations of the different angles of the club face. The first major learning step of The Inner Game theory is that within every human being, there are two selves rather than one.
