The Five Myths of “Thinking” Like a Champion [Garret Kramer]

[nevets88]

I thought these made sense. Not sure how these points reconcile w/Golf is not a Game of Perfect or Inner Game.

Myth 1: Mental strategies are beneficial.

Mental strategies require you to think. And, as anyone who has ever been in “the zone” would attest, we’re at our best when we’re not deliberately thinking. The truth is that everyone feels and performs better from mental clarity—and you can’t find a clear mind by strategically adding thought.

Myth 2: To be your best you must eliminate doubt and fear.

Many of the greatest performances of all time began with the performer admitting that he or she was feeling insecure and anxious. Doubt and fear are part of being human. You can’t defeat them. Trying to do so only adds more thought into an already cluttered mind. Remember: Doubt and fear will fade when you carry on, avoid the temptation to eliminate them (cope), and allow your mind to clear.
