Lisa Brown Author, “Breakthrough Golf!” Dear Golfer,Despite the hope promised by ‘hot new’ golf products, the sad truth is that only a small percentage of average golfers ever improve. Handicap statistics compiled by the National Golf Foundation and United States Golf Association show that most golfers establish their level of competency after a few years. After that, they seldom vary their scores by more than a stroke or two. Now here’s the good news: I guarantee that if you do the simple things I tell you to do in the next 4 weeks, you will make a quantum leap in your golf performance. Skeptical? Maybe so. But what if what I’m about to tell you is true? You are invited to join a NEW four-week, private, exclusive online mental toughness class led by me entitled “Mental Toughness for Golf: Perform Your Best Under Pressure.” The reason I can make this promise to you is that most golfers’ lack of progress is due to improper training. Golfers tend to obsess over equipment and technique. They neglect the mental side of golf and their short game. To play better golf, you need to build and practice a consistent swing that you trust. Forget the right forearm and the left hip. Forget pushing, pulling, and rotating. Make your game as simple and repeatable as possible. Focus solely on doing what is necessary for you to square the club to the target line at impact. To square your club to the target line at impact, the following four ingredients are a must: 1. A good grip
2. The proper set up
3. The right swing speed
4. Gaining a feel for the swing The first two ingredients are easy if you don’t already have them. A good pro at your club can give them to you in a few minutes. The second two are tougher, because your mind can creep in and create errors. A common cause of errors in your swing is over-tightness in the muscles, which happens when you tense up. When your muscles tighten, your swing slows, you cannot connect to the feel of your swing, and your drives get shorter and shorter. This is why it is so important to be confident on the golf course. Not only do you enjoy golf more, your drives become longer and more consistent. | I’m crazy at fifty – I’m loving mental toughness training. I feel like a kid again at golf. Also I’m relaxing more and learning more about myself and my emotions. I feel that what I enjoy most is the inner confidence that I get from your techniques which allow me to enjoy life to the fullest when golfing. It makes me appreciate who I am and how great life can be.Rick Grafton, Golf | | Genuine confidence is an absolute necessity if you want to reach your potential.

| Lisa, I have a Monkey in my head…you know what mean, I’m sure. So, when in your ebook you tell me I should trust my mind, my Ego is full of doubt. I overruled my Ego, let the Monkey do the deed…and it worked like a treat! Actually, I visualized the shots, then let the Monkey loose. That was yesterday. But today I was so full of confidence thanks to you that I took the short putter out for the first time in 50 years and didn’t twitch a single putt! I rest your case M’Lady.John Blades, Golf | | Have you ever heard the adage, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”? Well, I was broke and I knew it. I knew in my heart I had what it took physically to do my job on the pitching mound. Emotionally and mentally, I was taking myself out of any chance of peak performance. Just as I knew I needed a jump start to my mental game, I knew Lisa was the person who could help me identify the root of my downward spiral. The mental game is not a ‘sometime’ thing. It must be on an all the time thing if you are to find success. Lisa helped me “cut to the chase” and identify those things that were holding me back from attaining the mental edge I needed. Together we created a mental plan of attack that allowed me to stay empowered regardless of the circumstances.Lori Sippel, former Captain, Olympic Women’s Softball team | Week #2

How to Handle Failure So You Come Back More Confident Than Ever I’ve been in private practice with athletes for over 10 years, and their pattern is always the same: they call me about 3 weeks before their provincial, national, world, or Olympic championship to prepare for it. This is a good idea, but what’s equally important is doing mental toughness training after a major failure. All good athletes experience failures; however, it’s how you emotionally handle these losses that will determine whether or not you will leave them in the past…or re-create failure for yourself over and over again. You will learn: - Michael Jordan’s secret to creating unstoppable self-confidence
- A world class athlete’s technique for staying motivated
- How pro golfers, including Vijay Singh, interpret failure so it flatters them
- Why most athletes refuse to visualize success in their minds
- A unique way to program yourself for immediate success
- Why the very best golfers lose confidence and how to avoid this syndrome
- How to respond to failure so you are more motivated than ever, including what Tom Kite does on the course when he’s not having any fun
