During our talk Debbie talks about:

How we now have a much better understanding of left brain/right brain function and how and why it is important for the left side of the brain to go quiet just before we initiate a motor programme.

The ‘myth of relaxation’ and how the concept of total mind and body relaxation can for some individual be very bad for performance.

The ‘one second window’ of opportunity

A fascinating idea fully explained.

Author of the book ‘Golf – Energy in Motion’ Debbie points a way towards the integration of the mind body system to release your true abilities.

How the BREATH can be a key link in creating the optimum state to send an object to a target in sport.

How this obvious but under used concept can literally transform the quality of your play.

With intention follows attention and with attention we give ourselves the best chance to perform.
