Golf is Not a Game of Perfect (Book)

Dr. Rotella has made a career of helping people chase and catch their dreams. His authority as a sports psychologist is well known. Golfers from Tom Kite to David Duval have relied on him to help them break through to triumphs on the PGA Tour, but his practice extends beyond sports. He is a consultant on performance enhancement to leading businesses such as Merrill Lynch and General Electric. He has worked with successful people in business from law to entertainment. Most people think talent is genetically determined. Either you can sing or you can't or you get calculus or it is beyond you. You have what it takes to succeed or you don't. Dr. Rotella explains that the truth about human performance is far more encouraging. Talent, as conventionally defined and measured, plays a secondary role in determining one's fate, but far more important, according to Rotella, is real talent. Real talent is brilliance of a different sort. It is the nerve to choose a career doing something you love or the ability to learn to love what you do. It is courage, persistence, and determination. It is the ability to handle failure and honor commitments, and it is within everyone's grasp. In Life Is Not A Game Of Perfect Dr. Bob Rotella will help you make it a decisive element in your life. He will show you how to identify and cultivate the qualities that lead to success, prosperity, and happiness. Length: 224 pages.
