“Bob and I have had long discussions about the most effective mental approach and how it relates to my own game and development. I cherish these interchanges because I’m a golf nerd. Bob’s experience comes not just from golf, but from his knowledge of all sports. He expands my knowledge of those sports as well, and he will do the same for the readers of this book.” —Padraig Harrington, from the foreword “I have enjoyed working with Bob Rotella. I’ve read all of his books over the years and find what he says to be really interesting, appealing, and helpful to my game.”—Rory McIlroy “My father suggested that Dr. Bob Rotella could help me reach my potential as a tournament golfer when I was a young golfer, and I have worked with him regularly ever since. Bob taught me a steady routine and has given me the confidence in my game to play at the highest levels of competition.”—Davis Love III “Bob Rotella taught me how to handle pressure, develop a laserlike focus, win major championships, and make it to the Hall of Fame.”—Pat Bradley “Bob Rotella’s thoughts and ideas have helped me to be more at ease on the golf course. As a result, I have been more patient and have been able to turn my game around more quickly when things go awry.”—Jim Furyk
