#2197 Golf Is Not a Game of Perfect by Bob Rotella

Performance is more about mindset than mechanics.

Today’s book: Golf Is Not a Game of Perfect by Dr. Bob Rotella—an essential guide for athletes (and achievers!) on how to develop confidence, focus, and trust—on the course and in life.

Here’s your 1-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’s 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.
  • 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. What part of your game—or life—needs more trust today?

Golf Is Not a Game of Perfect—I love that title. I literally just yesterday read a book by Rotella called Life Is Not a Game of Perfect. I might be bingeing on him right now. I'm doing some work with elite golfers, going all in on Rotella. Hope you enjoy the Notes. Here's to another great day!
