As I was coaching one of my professional golfers the discussion turned to, how should I act on the course to be at my best? Many athletes confuse personality with mindset. In golf there have been a wide variety of personalities that have succeeded on the PGA Tour. There have been serious, withdrawn golfers such as Ben Hogan and there have been fun loving, extroverts such as Lee Trevino. I tell my clients to be themselves on the course. We are not going to change who you are, we just want to make sure you have the mindset to play your best. The mindset consists of the skills of focus and emotional control. Where are you placing your attention, can you sustain the focus, and are your emotions helping or hurting your performance. This is what can be trained and changed. Your personality is what makes you who you are and you want to honor that part. Your mindset is a skill that is needed just like good putting to play at your best. Think about what part of your mindset that needs adjustments: to be in the moment, focused on the correct cues, and emotionally confident and in control.
