Hi, this is Brian. Welcome back to Heroic Wisdom Daily. Today's book Golf is Not a Game of Perfect by Dr. Bob Rotella. An essential guide for athletes and any achievers on how to develop confidence, focus and trust on the course and in life. Bob Rotella is phenomenal. We've got another note on how champions think. One of my all time favorite books. Check out the notes. Here's your one minute summary. Perfection is a trap. Success in golf and life comes from managing your mind, not eliminating every mistake. Confidence is a decision. Choose to believe in your swing or your skills, especially when the pressure is on. Stay in the present thinking about your score or your swing mechanics. Mid game pulls you out of flow. Commit, then swing. Trust the shot you've chosen. Hesitation is the enemy of execution and you play your best when you enjoy it. Play free. Let go of control. Compete with joy, not fear. Great performances start with great mindsets. So what part of your game or life needs more trust today? Golf is not a game of perfect. Love that title. I literally yesterday read a book by Rotella called Life is Not a Game of Perfect. I might be binging on him right now, doing some work with some elite golfers going all in on Rotella. Hope you en the notes. Here's to having another great day.
