Golf Flow par Gio Valiante
Cette critique a été écrite dans le cadre des Critiques en avant-première de LibraryThing.Sports psychologist Dr. Gio Valiante coaches serious golfers in how to develop Golf Flow. If you are a would-be professional golfer you will want to add this book to your reading list. Improve your golf mindset for better performance as well as increased enjoyment of the sport.
Cette critique a été écrite dans le cadre des Critiques en avant-première de LibraryThing.Golf Flow by Gio Valiante is an excellent book explaining exactly what it is that athletes (particularly golfers) experience mentally when everything seems to be working together for a great performance. His analysis of the mental aspects when golfers are in a slump as compared to golfers who are experiencing the flow is quite enlightening. Valiante explains well what happens when a golfer is the flow, what the golfer is thinking about, and most importantly what the golfer is not thinking about.
Cette critique a été écrite dans le cadre des Critiques en avant-première de LibraryThing.Golf Flow brings a focus on the mental side of golf, offering good advice on maintaining a positive, constructive attitude on the course. Valiante provides a great deal of current research to back up his advice. He also gives readers ways to practice those mental states. However, much of it feels very “guru-ish” at times – a lot of lofty ideas without much structure. These ideas may be very difficult for amateurs to grasp, let alone put into practice.
Probably the best parts of Golf Flow are the sections written by current top PGA pros who recount how finding their “mental flow” allowed them to play their best at critical times. Valiante has a hefty pedigree working with some of the most successful Tour pros playing. And his advice is certainly one more asset for the elite to make it from great to champion. The trouble is that it is presented from an elite perspective while most consumers of golf self-help books are beginners and hackers looking to find a way to shave some strokes in a game where they pay to play – not get paid to play.
Golf Flow may give the high-level, competitive golfer another tool to take their game to a higher level. However, most amateurs are not going to have the skillset or understanding of the game to get a great deal of use out of this book. The professional insights are interesting and there are a few nuggets of wisdom contained in Golf Flow, but there are many far more useful golf learning books on the market for the 95% of amateurs looking to play better. Golf Flow would not be my first choice for them.… (plus d'informations)
