Don't "Be The Ball." Be The Target!
Time Magazine Quotes Jennifer Scott

“What would I say to Tiger Woods if he wanted some help before The Masters?”
That’s the question Sean Gregory asked me last week as he was preparing his article for TIME Magazine online today. This is from the article:
Tiger at the Masters: An Ultimate Test of His Toughness
Jennifer Scott, a Golf Hypnotherapist from Phoenix, suggests staring at some object on the course — perhaps a leaf on a fairway tree — and taking a deep breath while waiting to take a shot. “Your eyes are very powerful,” she says. “If you’re darting your eyes back and forth, you lose focus.” Summon the subconscious and give yourself a mantra. “Think peace, harmony, relax, relax,” Scott says. “The golfers I teach love those words.”
For Woods, Scott suggests a less hippie-sounding mental chant, perhaps, “I’m the greatest player in the world, see each shot as it lands.”
WHAT TIME MAGAZINE LEFT OUT:
I also told Sean that Tiger needs to get back to basics. He was taught Self Hypnosis when he was about 11 years so he knows how to focus and concentrate probably better than any other golfer in the world. All he needs to do is remember who he really is…to remember the core values he learned from both his parents.
I would also give him “Own the Zone,” my audio 2-CD set which will help him get in the zone for longer and longer periods of time all through the Masters’ weekend.
