| Tiger
Wood: Secrets Of
A Famous Athlete
What does
Tiger Wood do differently than other
players ?
Does he have a gift that the other
players do not ? Was he born or did he learn his talent ?
One of his teamates at
Stanford, Conrad Ray says:
"There's a lot of pros that will
tell you because his golf swing is so good or he's got the
greatest short game. I personally think he's got a gift that most people don't have, like a Michael Jordan, those types of people.
There's a lot of it that can't be
explained. He's just a natural. He's got this gift to play great golf."
But as you know, he practises and
works hard to improve his skills. In fact, he seems to outpractise all the
other pros on the tour.
Golf teacher Butch Harmon says:
"He's an incredibly hard worker, like a sponge, soaking up
advice from everyone, from me, from other players."
For example, Tiger Wood studies and
views videotapes by the hour at the Golf Channel headquarters. He extracts
all the qualities from a variety of players and incorporates them into his
game.
Now I believe if you focus on the process and
pick up on the small details, you can also improve your golf game.
The question is not whether he was
born a gifted golfer or whether he learned to be the best golf player of all
times.
It is: "How do you learn the
process to improve your golf game ?"
So really how do you install the qualities
of other players into your golf game ? Read on.
As
with any
sports, it's important for you to break down a movement into
sub-skills to highlight the
differences between a correct and incorrect
movement pattern.
First,
you observe a coping or mastery model
of the movement pattern.
Secondly, you record different scenes
simul- taneously from various
angles to register key points in the
movement pattern.
Thirdly,
you observe your performance
immediately after recording
and follow-up your viewing with an
immediate performance. Of course, you can analyze your verbal and
nonverbal behaviors by using The
Viewer's Observation Checklist.
Fourthly, while you review your video disk or tape model, you
control the slow-motion, frame-by-frame,
pause and replay functions on
your remote control to
fully analyze your performance.
Finally, you quickly identify and
correct errors in your
movement patterns on disk or tape and in
practice. You rehearse correct performances
with mental imagery (click

Information), self-talk, and
simulations immediately after viewing
your model.
