Junior Wellness Center: Sports Psychology

It has been said, you should never try to keep more than 300 thoughts in your head during your swing. Everyone needs a little assistance in sorting out the mental aspects of the game of golf. Is it 90 percent mental and 10 percent ability? Ask the ever growing number of tour professionals who have mind coaches at their side. In some cases, more mind coaches accompany a tour player than do swing coaches to the tournaments. Does that tell you anything? Ok, so of course you need to be physically fit and on a good diet that encourages positive results, but let’s face it, the mental side of things can be just as important as any aspect of game improvement!

Use the directory to find a mental coach who you like and who likes you and most importantly fits your goals, aspirations and budget. As with nutrition, it is not necessary to find one within your area or region because mental toughness can be taught in a multitude of techniques.
