Take a small object such as a golf ball or
a coin, and place it out of sight (under
your bed or in a drawer). Your mission,
should you choose to accept it, is to move
that object just one inch a day, for seven
consecutive days.
THAT’S IT. EASY, RIGHT?
The surprising truth is that, because you
place the object out of sight, it is very easy
to forget one day, which means you lose.
Game over.
When a potential student misses one day,
all of the coaching in the world will not
help them. If they lack the discipline to
complete the “Seven Day Challenge,” they
will never be disciplined enough to improve
their mental game.
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN TO YOUR
GAME?
If you decide to take this test, all you need
is a pen and paper with the numbers 1-7
on it.
Each time you move your object, write
down a word describing the golfer you will
become (Focused, Confident, Trusting, etc.)
next to the number for that day.
No exceptions, No Excuses, No Joke.
Remember, If you miss one day, you lose.
Discipline is the core of what separates a
Navy SEAL from the rest of the pack. They
are willing to do what others cannot and
will not attempt.
If you are willing to take the “Seven Day
Challenge,” you will be doing something
your competition is not! That gives you the
edge.
Look for Parts Two and Three of this series
in future issues. You can learn how to think
like a Navy SEAL and play golf with a
Mental Game Plan and toughness.
