Arnold Palmer, Wild Bravado and Boldness
Dr Ray
"It is preparation and discipline that counts – a discipline that
reaches for the total and forward-looking relationship between the
mind and the challenge".
Arnold Palmer
This is Dr. Ray with a few comments about boldness.
Boldness is self-confidence in action?
Boldness, based on self-discipline - actual accomplishment - a genuine
sense of security within - provides the foundation for the right
amount of aggression and assertiveness in any competitive situation -
whether at work, at home or on the course.
Self-confidence can't be faked! It is REAL ! Without it, the golfer
is lost within a continuing swirl of tension, confusion and self-
doubt.
With self-confidence you can face challenge with ease; knowing - win
or lose - you have performed at the outer edge of your capabilities.
As a Clinical and Sport Psychologist who has worked with athletes at
all levels of boldness, I assure you, self-confidence is the
predictable result of preparation and self-discipline.
So, take advantage of valuable practice time, even though it seems
more fun to "play" the game.
