I found this book after reading an excerpt in GolfWeek. It is a great read for sharpening your mental performance. I played professionally from 1996-2001 and always struggled with the mental side of the game. I tried Rotella/Valiante/Cohn/etc and all I felt was cliché gimmicks. Dr. Lardon actually has a method and strategy to improvement as opposed to "see it, feel it, trust it" or whatever....

Synopsis

The first research-based program to offer concise, clear ways to realize your best performance.

As a therapist, physician, and mental coach, Dr. Michael Lardon has dedicated his career to helping athletes understand and better achieve peak performance. In Finding Your Zone, he shares with readers what he's discovered about reaching the state in which 'thoughts and actions are occurring in complete synchronicity,' and how this state is accessible to all, not just the few.

In ten key lessons-illustrated by personal anecdotes from his clients-Lardon teaches readers how to access the zone not only in sports but in all aspects of their lives, by understanding how to:

? Transform desire into will
• Channel emotions to victory
• Trust instincts and keep it simple
• Conquer fear through acceptance
• Perform under pressure

Eric Heiden

Dr. Lardon's book is without gimmicks or motivational hyperbole. It is the dictum that true champions follow. (Eric Heiden, five-time Olympic gold medal-winning speed skater)
