I am ferociously curious about what it takes to be a champion at the highest level. That is why I am always looking to read about the best of the best in sport to find out what makes them tick. I look for autobiographies, articles, interviews and whatever I can find to learn more.
I just read "Tiger Woods entering a zone where few have travelled" on nydailynews.com by sportswriter Hank Gola. Hank describes Tiger's amazing ability to repeatedly come from behind in golf tournaments and raises intrigue to how he has mastered this.
If you could only model one athlete on who to base your mental mindset, Tiger Woods would be the chosen one. From my own readings, I undestand his work with his sports psychologist, Dr Jay Brunza, has enabled Tiger to play in a hypnotic trance. Milton Erikson said that all people are living in a trance, one of disempowerment. When we can awaken within and use that trance state to one of empowerment, then we can truly succeed at any level, at the level of Tiger Woods perhaps.

So true.
I myself am right now in the Twitter zone.. I'm traveling the web, looking at sites my twitter friends develop
What a joy it is to find your content. I like the way you think about thinking.
Hey Annette - Tiger, what can one say! Thanks to a number of my clients I get to spend time periodically in the PGA Tour world, Tiger controls the thoughts of other players just about more than he controls his own, it's amazing to observe!
I echo your words about modeling him, don't mind just sport Tiger is the top 3 performers in any endeavor in the world ... and I'm only saying top 3 rather than 'the' top because I don't like to make big claims! ;-)
He is truly extraordinary, even more now I have been able to intimately observe how he has influenced his competitors!
Thanks for the post mate!!
Brad
