The Leading Edge: Psychology of Being a Great Golfer (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780646852898)

High Performance Sports Mentor Vicki Aitken (BA, PGDipPE, MPhEd) the co-author of "Caddy-Talk: Psychology of Being a Great Golf Caddy," who was the "Official Sport Psychologist with The Ladies European Tour" from 2001-2007 has a brand new book out called "The Leading Edge: Psychology of Being a Great Golfer." Vicki explains the purpose behind the book: 'The Leading Edge: Psychology of Being a Great Golfer' is a project that came about after 22 years of working in the field of sport psychology. My desire is to share my acquired expertise and knowledge with every golfer. This book is an accumulation of my life's work in golf psychology: my research, work with countless golfers of all levels but especially those professional players who shared their experience, expertise and were willing to experiment with me. All my advice has been tried and tested and has been put together in this book to benefit golfers at every level."
"The original idea of this book was to be an extension and elaboration of Bob Rotella's work, especially his book 'Golf is Not a Game of Perfect, ' that he wrote in 1997 with Bob Cullen. To date there has been no other book aimed at the general public that has had the same impact in changing the way golfers play psychologically since Rotella's original book. It is my hope that this book, especially the Advanced Toolbox section, will play this role for all golfers."
'The Leading Edge: Psychology of Being a Great Golfer' presents a framework for understanding how players play at their best and play well on a regular basis. It covers Performance Planning and the 'Toolbox Basics.' 'The Advanced Toolbox' outlines novel practical psychological tools that players can use on the practice area. The Leading Edge also discusses the value of Risk and Control, Coaching, Course Management (tactical aspect) and Problem Solving. This is a must read for every golfer!
