The first thing to remember about this program, it is not just a book, but a complete course in mind training. To take this course, the person must have an open mind and a huge desire for success. Without desire to be the best you can be in the game of golf, this course is not for you. This course teaches the basic principles over and over with exercises in every chapter. This is not only a course, but a players diary of their goals, practice techniques, on course mental goals during competition. Every player that completes this course will automatically cut 8 to 10 strokes off their game. It is a must you follow each chapter and the exercises for success. This course will repeat until each player understands. The course teaches a player who they really are, controls anger, develops honesty, trust, and confidence. Why spend thousand of dollars on equipment and lessons before we train the mind first? We are teaching backwards the principles of true golf. Yes, there are a lot of great golfers coming up, but each one is understanding the mental side first, starting with Tiger Woods at a very early age. The competition is greater, courses are longer, and thousands of young golfers coming on the seen. Why wait, this is the first and only mental training complete course. Remember, this is not just a book! Time to take charge of your game now. Consider the price of a golf lesson? This course is much more valuable at the same price. You will not be dissappointed.

Sports competition, from the student to the elite professional level, is a specialized world. Its players face singular challenges in overcoming the stress, anxiety, and fear of failure (and success) that characterize that environment. As the team psychiatrist for the Baltimore Orioles and the Baltimore Ravens since 1996, the author of Sports Psychiatry: Strategies for Life Balance and Peak Performance is uniquely aware of the knowledge and skills mental health practitioners require to work effectively with athletes as they strive to play better, heal better, and feel better. The book is grounded in evidence-based psychiatry, but is written in a style that will engage and inform not only mental health professionals, but also primary care and sports medicine physicians, athletic trainers, team owners and managers, interested laypeople -- and, of course -- athletes themselves. Absorbing narratives exemplify the themes and issues covered in each chapter, including how to recognize and conquer stress, how to prepare mentally for competition, how to manage pain, and how to tune out the myriad distractions of the athlete's life and focus on performance. The strategies that Dr. McDuff offers are down-to-earth, insightful, and informed by his many years of experience treating players at the highest level. Practical and compassionate, Sports Psychiatry: Strategies for Life Balance and Peak Performance will be of enormous help to readers inside and outside the sports arena.

This is my Mom’s journal, the daily life of a single teenage mother. Her experience with me as an infant was so much fun. My Mom soon learned that it wouldn’t be easy caring for a baby all day, every day. Day one began the journey when she introduced me to her friends and family. She fixed my curly brown hair up in a bow, and put a newborn diaper on me. Mom didn’t know there were so many styles of diapers to choose from in the store. It was mind-boggling. My mom said I had the cutest little ears she had ever seen. I was very heavy for mom to carry me everywhere all over school, including her books! The only time when she needed a babysitter was when she had football games and class, so basically I was with the babysitter all day. I saw right then that day care would be a necessity. I hired my parents, my granddad, and my friends to baby sit. Whenever I and the other went to practice, we created a meeting place in the classroom. If Abigail were in need care services, I would pay around $90 a week just for her to go to day care, and that doesn’t include any extra food or diapers I would need to send. I also couldn’t imagine having to wake up every two hours all night long to feed, change diapers, and rock Abigail back to sleep. Then again, I know I would really love my baby, so I would take care of her the proper way. Before Abigail was born, I know I was going to name her Abigail. If one day I have a boy, I am going to name him Colton. Hopefully, whomever I marry will think the same. I have decided I only want a few children, about three, but I definitely do not want to be a pregnant mom in college, taking care of more children when I am only a kid myself. I know I would have to focus on my schoolwork instead of taking care of a baby. I gave Abigail a certain time to play and then it was nap time for my little baby. She needed her rest for the next day because we would have to go to school then day care all over again.
