Mental Toughness
Like many of you, I spent my Father’s Day evening watching Tiger Woods force a Monday playoff in the US Open.
One thing I noticed again yesterday is that Tiger has a bit of a temper. Tiger doesn’t make too many bad shots, but when he does, he….
yells at himself……..kicks the turf………..tosses his club in frustration
just like the rest of us.
But Tiger’s mental toughness allows him to experience a moment of anger, express his frustration, and move on. The bad shot is in the past. A new shot requires his attention.
Tiger’s late father says it best in Nike’s latest commerical……..
‘Tiger, I promise you that you’ll never meet another person as mentally tough as you in your entire life.’ And he hasn’t. And he never will.
