One of the things I find fascinating is watching press conferences of athletes and high achievers. I listen carefully to and pay particular attention to the way they describe their experience, the type of words in the sentences they use, the particular phraseology they choose, the quotes they enjoy sharing, and how they describe them self in the context of the situations they find themself in as they compete.

Self-image psychology reveals much about the way we perceive ourself in different environments and the term self-concept is a general term that describes how we think about, evaluate or perceive ourselves in the context of a situation. So to be aware of ourself is to have a concept of ourself.

​Baumeister (1999) provides the following self-concept definition:

Fortunately however, you have the financial resources to hire the best instructor money can buy to help you improve your game.

You can travel anywhere in the world, and you can stay for as long as needed, to learn from this golf instructor.

Who would you take lessons from, and what would you take your lessons on?

Now I don’t know you, but I can almost guarantee 100% that you would...

Success in life whether on the sporting field, in the work place, or anywhere else for that matter, gets down to one clearly defined purpose...
