Let THEM Worry!

This is my two cents.....

"Let THEM worry about it"

About what?

About winning or losing..

This past week an 11-year old client of mine participated in the USGA Girls Junior Golf Tournament..

Basically the US Open for girls 17 and under..

Yes..I said 11 YEARS OLD..the youngest to ever play in this event..

My advice to here...

"Don't worry...don't be nervous..let THEM be nervous and waste their energy on winning or losing.

YOU...you go out and just play your game"

In my hey day of coaching wrestling that was my best advice as well as:

"If you say you can't, you won't - If you say you can, you will"

So, whether your a coach or player, please remember this..

Worrying about the opponent basically sets you up for failure..

Now, don't get me wrong...

Never underestimate your opponent, but remember..

They are on the same playing field as you and your team....

Remain confident and use your precious energy to think 'positive'thoughts and your team will succeed..


Good Luck and stay positive!

In Good Health,
Barry
