Additional Information
Chug, chug, chug
by Michael Riggs, M.Ed.
We all remember the childhood story of the Little Train that said, ‰¥þI think I can, I think I can,‰¥ÿ as he chugged his way up the daunting mountain.åÊ It is such a simple story, but it illustrates the essence of success with each chug, chug, chug.
As the typical player stands over an intimidating shot --åÊ be it a scary carry over water, a tee shot through a tunnel opening of grabbing tree branches, or a scoring wedge to a tight pin with greenside trouble back and side, his mind may be drawn to thoughts of failure and demise.åÊ These thoughts seem to flash into the mind faster than you can say bogey.åÊ Eying the shot, contemplating the potential hazardous outcomes, the wisdom of from Little Train is no where to be found.åÊ ‰¥þI think I can‰¥ÿ has been firmly replaced by ‰¥þOh no, here we go again.‰¥ÿ
One of the simplest, and most manageable, mental skills for players of all levels is the skill of positive self talk.åÊ Our bodies take the suggestion of our minds.åÊ Our minds take the suggestion of our words.åÊ So, be keenly aware of the words that you choose to use in challenging situations and be sure that they are phrases of compliment, encouragement, and congratulation.
