Lo que Rotella consigue en este extraordinario libro, ademas de lo que logra con sus propios clientes, es crear una actitud y disposicion mental que abarcan todos los aspectos del juego del golf, desde la preparacion mental hasta la competicion. Y lo que es mas asombroso, lo consigue con un estilo coloquial y una combinacion variada de anecdotas y lecciones. Como atestiguan algunos de los mejores jugadores del mundo, los resultados son espectaculares. Los golfistas mejoraran su juego y se divertiran mas jugando al golf. Algunas de sus citas son: * En el primer tee, un golfista debe esperar solo dos cosas: divertirse y centrar de forma correcta su mente en cada golpe. * Un golfista debe aprender a aceptar el desafio cuando envia la bola al rough, a los arboles o al bunker. Las alternativas rabia, miedo, lamentaciones y trampas no solucionan nada. * La confianza es crucial para un buen golf. La confianza es simplemente la suma de pensamientos que tienes de ti mismo. * Es mas importante ser decidido que ser exacto cuando estas preparando cualquier golpe, especialmente un putt.
