How good could you be? | | Talent is overrated | | Geoff Colvin, in his theory of “Deliberate Practice”, contends that you can all be so much better at golf, and much quicker than you imagine, with a better approach to practice. | | | | This isn’t about beating balls until your hands bleed. It’s about having a sensible structure that accommodates the commitment you feel you can make. There are four essential steps according to Colvin’s principals: | | | | A personal plan that starts from your current reality, identifying the areas you can most easily improve, quickly. | Go beyond your comfort zone, practicing shots you are not comfortable with. Choosing to hit shots you can’t execute properly or consistently might not seem like fun, but you need to deliberately push your boundaries. | If you don’t have a lot of time for practice, then limit the new skills you’re trying to develop. You need, through repetition, to sear the new movements required into the brain. | You need continual and specific feedback. You need to record your swing in practice, or have a coach present. If the result is bad, you need the diagnosis as a feedback. If the result is good, you need the positive affirmation of the movements that created the result. | | | Start your journey.
