Your Best is Not Even Close to What Your Best Really Is
A typical golfer will hit balls on the driving range until his wife files a missing person’s report. A tennis player will practice strokes until his or her blisters have blisters. Athletes are notorious when it comes to putting in the practice time to groove their skills. But as much... Continue reading

Yes, you are correct. Steven's approach works for both skill sets. If you are hitting a golf ball (closed skill) or running down a tennis ball (open skill), it works wonders. In short, you never want your pre-frontal cortex asserting control over your athletic motions. You lose freedom, power, effectiveness, precision, and finesse. I describe the easy way to keep your pre-frontal quiet during any athletic activity.
The answer to your second question is no discounts on mutable books (whatever they are). Basically, if you don't ask for your money back, we'll spend most of it on wine, women, and song. And what remains we'll waste.

The Failure of Sports Psychology
Why Sports Psychology doesn’t help under-achievers & how to fix it In every sport, there are athletes with breathtaking skills. Yet, most of these guys never play anywhere close to their potential. So how come one guy becomes a superstar while another guy—with just as much talent—bombs? As Yogi...

The Ultimate Golf Tip
Yesterday I joined in a golf discussion on the Internet. Someone had asked this group of golf aficionados their advice on how to break 75. Predictably, all the comments suggested practicing the short game. Someone actually told him to reduce his putts, as if the guy who asked the question... Continue reading

Faster Reaction Time
The following bit got cut from the final version of my book, Instant Athlete Instant Zone. But I think it contains a valuable insight as the difference between winning and losing can sometimes be separated by only a one-hundredth of a second. Here goes: “What I learned today reminds me of an exp...

He finished second in the voting for Series MVP to Bret Saberhagen. Buddy teaches professional athletes the unique methods which... Continue reading

Remembering Ballybunion
Tom Mullins, an Irish friend, visited yesterday. We spent the day reminiscing about my family's trip to Ireland several years back. Tom and I laughed heartily remembering our trip to Ballybunion, a golf course that is always ranked among the top five in the world. It is truly one of... Continue reading

My favorite description of the Zone
When it comes to great descriptions of what it's like to play from the Zone, this one takes the cake. It's found in Bill Russell’s biography entitled Second Wind: The Memoirs of an Opinionated Man. Here it is: “Every so often a Celtic game would heat up so that it... Continue reading

The Zone
Tennis players were the first athletes to call it the Zone. Now it’s a universal term. Basketball players initially called it going unconscious. Sprinters call it tipping—when they feel they are levitating as they run and only the tips of their toes are barely brushing the track. Yet, no matter... Continue reading
