"The short game requires the same uncluttered mind, the same focus on the target, and the same disciplined routine that’s a long game requires - only more so." - Bob Rotella in Golf Is Not a Game of Perfect
Focus is a superpower. Focus is a superpower. Mindset of success. Game management. Execution.
When attacking the ball, disallow all distractions. The set is coming and you can perceive the location of the blockers. No thoughts belong about mechanics as you have automated your run-up and arm-swing.
History is replete with players making "the shot" in the moment.
Mindset matters, your mental approach.
- Be decisive.
- Focus only on putting the ball down.
- Replay your numerous successes.
"Fear is the mind killer." Fear is for the other guy.
Lagniappe. Sport rewards explosive movements...rebounding the basketball, quick crossover step when stealing a base, acceleration - often after deceleration to separate from defenders in soccer or lacrosse. Study and refine the timing of your attack.
