Does this work?

When doing such a model as I do, the question from people is, does it really work and how do you know it does?

Earlier in my life, I had no good satisfied answer to such a question, this was due to the unconsious and often out of awareness focus of NLP.

Yes, it works and yes I do know how.

What if you can measure your improvement in your performance each practice and each time you engage into your sport?
How fast would you improve?

I have since early may when I recived the dvd´s for my golf swing, and I have been spending ton of time on the range and watching those dvd´s and doing air drills to memorize positions.
I have made sure that each practice was made with some specific goal, that I also would take any sensation felt and make it internalized when doing it correct and properly.
I also have made sure each time I did do it right I also improved on that, feeling it.

The last 5 rounds I have played, each round I checked what I needed to improve, went back and practice that the next day.
I memorized the sensation when doing it right.
Out and played again.
Noted again what I needed to improve and practiced that.
I also improved what I already did well out there.

So, each round have been better than the one before.
The game starts to get more consistent, no errors in any bigger numbers and many really good shots.

As I do the improvement, I measure what I do, with factual numbers, do the shots get closer to the pin, do the % numbers of fairways and greens go up, do the up and down from the rough get higher? etc...
This makes me sure what I do works or not.
I can see the numbers, I know what to work on, I can feel the swing much better in my positions, I still need to work out some things but the important thing is,
I can now play golf really easy.

For me, it feels like really simple.

Like playstation golf.

Just aim and hit.

So, I measure how it feels internally in my swing, do I get the right position, does the ball go straight, does the distance improve etc..?
Today the ball went further, with less power.
I had to adjust, big time to get the right club for the shots.
Much more fun.

As I measure my improvement in performance, I also check the basics from time to time.
The swing system works, I get more power as the technique I have is getting better, my acuracy goes up as I can do it more correct and so on.

Today I equal my best ever score at 78.
Without effort.
I made no birdies and plan on making some tomorow.

Accelerating learning is all about making sure you measure the right feeling/sensation, improve that, then add factual statistics if possible to see if the feelings match the outside performance.

I did change some approaches before the game today.
I tweaked my state a little, and I set a new target when approaching greens on my iron shots.
This tweak made the game for me a little easier.
I hit a lot of greens (13) and was really close on several others.
I had chances to do birdies but the small chips was a little off to make easy birdies.

As I look at my game, watching my stats improve, the feeling I have when playing and checking my state and taking note of what I need to improve each day and each session, I improve.
I evaluate each session, each round I play, finding the proper and correct approach to meet my criteria of stats I am aiming for and the distances I need to compete at the level this fall.

If you dont improve each session, each round your not doing it right.
Your either not measure the right things, or adding improvement additions to the stuff you do well.
When I meet my outcomes, the goals I set up in my skill level of playing golf, I be shooting under par consistently at my home course.
Then I can at least to some degree say that I am in some way meeting my criteria.
I also need to compete when that happens.
However the summer havent even started and already the progress made is astounding.

Does it work?

For me most definitly.

Sorting programs what are those?

As it states, its sorting out what is to be sorted out.

In performance this means we want to do things that makes us better, improves us, and allows a higher performance to be in place.
To be able to get that we need to be able to sort out unwanted information.

As I set my outcome, I also set up a measurement and sorting program to meet specific criteria.
As long the criteria is not met, the program keeps sorting out what I do to improve, keeps measuring what I do that makes my results, skills and everything else better.
I can practice, play and improve faster due to my brain knows where I am going.
And as I am not there, it keeps finding ways to get me there.

Adding sometimes and sometimes removing until the criteria is met.
As I work on this and become better I feel great.
I use positiv emotions to re-inforce the improvements.

I keep mapping and tracking, do I need to do something new, do I need to ingrain and find a new sensation, what is my practice today for the skills I need to improve?

Doing the above,
I have improved my game by noticing that when playing this did happen,
as it did, I didnt change it.
Then at the practice range, I find what I needed to do, found that and re-inforced that.
I changed my chipping, lighter grip, tested and went out and played, improved a lot.
Lost my putting, found it out on the course after a few holes.
Noted what I did when it worked.

So, I then know what to practice, measure the practice and map and sort out anything else unwanted.
Then I go play again after I Improved the skills.

This is a fast process, the idea is to identify and improve to meet my criteria. As I do that, I can make a habit of the skills faster since, when I can do what I need to do, meeting my criteria, then I just make sure its got down into long term memory so I just can do it.
Then no more practice of that is needed, sorted that out, then I just check, whats next?

So, my game is improving so fast, my mind goes woooowaaazzzaaa.
It a lot of fun also.

In the last few days, my skills have improved a lot.
The key here is measure the improvement, map them into the criteria I want, if met, I simply check if the skill keeps getting more habitual and soon I simply forgets it.
If not met, I analyze what I need to do, make a practice plan, and re-inforce when I find the right move.

So, the puting now works, I then keep checking if it works until it just dont need any attention, I just putt the way I want.
The same goes with chipping and pitching.
I still need to improve those skills a little more.

Its getting there.

Mental?

Its not about the mental aspects of the performance, its all about emotions.
Or how you handle them. (Not Mental training)

Mentally, its about beliefs, but the performance are all about emotions.
Make sure you use positive emotions, loaded into the direction you want to go.
Sort out all other emotions, make sure they never going to be present in your performance when it counts.

I changed my practice on the range after some thought, I decided I have reached long enough on my practice I needed to change my state as I practiced to the one I use on the course.
My aim has been that practice and play must sooner or later meet, so slowly I am sliding all the stuff I want to play into my practice sessions.

My goal there is to shorten the practice into high quality shots, practice so I get a edge in making every shot with the state and context and the level of skill I want to have.

A very common mistake is that emotions are not that important, however, emotions tie us into responses, often unconsious ones, we just react out of habit to something, often we got a belief, we can perform a shot a move and when we fail to do so, we respond by becoming emotional into absurdness.

Handling emotions, anger, sadness, feeling stupid, frustrated, iritated ec..is all about seting the aim of context first, then tie into that with beliefs and states and skills and then add the positive emotions into that supporting this plan of action.

Then so called "bad emotions" will not be part of your performance.
Neat, right?

Emotions are often tied into our beliefs about expectations.
We expect a particular result, when that fails to be met, we react with emotions.
This happens since we have taught our selves to do so out of habit.

I discovered doing this new outcome I had to alter a few of my responses, I did so since I could sort them out really well to get the level of skill I wanted.
I didnt know this did happen due to not knowing how the movement was to be perform.
When I got the DVD´s it become much easier to practice the right motions, to train my body to do it right.
In essence, I needed to re-train my body and train my body to do a motion of swinging a gofclub which I wasnt able to do before.

The result is, I am reaching my distances I wanted, not all there but much closer and that feels great (positive emotions) and also I can practice to ingrain the sensations I need to have to perform such motion so the result stays the same.
The system I use does have some advantages that makes me hit the shots straight, that is a boost also in positive emotions, I know if I do things properly, I hit it really straight.

So, performance is about the state, the emotions we attach to what we do.
Sorting out so called bad emotions and attach positive ones to what we do and want to do are important.

Winning must be the best feeling you get, why else compete?

When you practice, re-inforce the things you do Perfect/Right/Technical correct with positive emotions tied into context.
When I do so, I thank the audience with a tip of my hat or my player who says, nice shot.
Why?

I am introducing the context I want to play and use and do those performances and teaching my brain what I want to happen, will allow for a sorting program to be in place.

Which my next blog post will be about.

Distinctions

In everything we do we have distinctions.
That is those small differences we can make when doing things.

For example, suddenly I notice what keping the body still meant and how it was like.
I was working on keeping the body still and back, but suddenly doing that I notice something called waiting time.
I was more or less waiting for my hands to come to where they should be.
As I waited, I was struck by, oh, this means I am keeping my lower body still and that I am on plane and are actually knowing what I do.

The home course opened today, so with this new found knowledge, I went and played.

I played well, first two holes, I hit greens in regulation.

For me this round was most likely the best ever I ever played in my life.
I played more dramatic rounds, more on the edge, but no round ever felt as easy.
I had shots I just knew, strick it well and its on green.
I shot 84, 6 off my personal best, I hit 11 greens, now the culprit was 3 shots I hit fat.
Some old habit I have with shoulder moving.
They cost me a few shots.

But I putted badly.
Greens was dry and not cut that much, and I havent practiced the putting at all as far.
Guess that is possible now when the greens opens up even in the condition they are atm.

It felt like I could shot par, I also hit my best ever sand shot from the bunker on 15, driver into the bunker, 65degree wedge to 2m from the hole and made the putt.
Felt good.

I also used my set up context this round, I played really well, my performance was really good with some dips now and then when I was tired.

My system works, its getting there, now its time for some short game practice, ingraining the body still and start to really rip trough the ball.

I am pumped for tomorow.

Traning stuff or not?

I am a fan of feedback, faster and better feedback allows a faster learning curve.

I got a training tool today, it shows if I get a wristbreak or not.
I am not a fan of training with tools unless there is some fast feedback involved.

The body must know the motion, a training aid will allow that if its properly designed.
The thing is that our brain and body works to learn a motion, that is a whole sequence, then we break it down into positions, as we do so many add swing thoughts if we talk Golf here into such positions.

This will make many forget the whole range sequence of the swing, and create a lot of swing thinking.
Not right, not left hand, not etc...

When learning such motions we must learn to create a context for our mind and body to sort out what to do and what is not to do.
This will allow a faster learning curve.

But we must go further,
into designing the learning context to allow a sorting out the good things into the context we want to perform.
I use ideas I had for a long time, using them to practice the golf system I choosed to do.

The Symple Swing system is a tuned down and iliminating overactive motions and minimizing what we do to swing the club.

So, starting with a good system, learning the positions, the whole sequence of the swing, I keep working on all positions until I can do them, and incorperate them into the full swing sequence.
Then I just work on the whole full swing sequence.
I am not there yet, but its getting there.

Soon, I just can practice on the basics and just work on details on the short game and speed/distance for the long game.

I look forward to that, since then I can play, practice details, allowing me to measure progress on score, statistics and so on.
The new program I created and following the model which I developed have as far made me learning more about the model, about me and how the body learns.

And I look forward to shoot low scores this summer.

The 8 day is rest

As important practice is, resting and gain back endurance and strength is as important.
And maybe more, motivation and being fresh next time.

I rested 3 days, did some other things, no golf, no training, just hanging out, eating, and did some class working with dyslectics.

Back at the range today, hit the distance I wanted at the range. All clubs was longer, hitting it into the distance I have looked for.
I will go back tomorow and work on some more fundamentals after watching the new DVD.

Performance comes from practice the basics.

I am so working to get this done in a most effecient and down to earth way.
Get the technical things, learn how to feel the positions, work it and then rework it and check on video if needed.

However, I am still making good progress each session.

I am improving, finding new details, as on the new DVD, gonna work on grip tension, right hand loose, and head behind ball.
That seems to be the most important to feel atm.

But I make sure I rest, I work shorter durations now, more quality and less endurance.

Make it perfect and then

When I am learning something I do so until I can do it perfectly.
Then its all about forgetting that and just do whatever you do.

Let me give an example,
when I practice golf I practice on the range.
On the course I just play.

If something fails on the course, I just take a note, later I identify why the failure did happen and correct it and make it perfect.

BUT I do this from a standpoint of having a golf swing working for me for the first time in my life, I never had one called swing before.
I am working trough how to do it and how to feel it and how to make it a habit.

Today, I went to the range to really rip the ball.
As hard as I could.

I found several flaws,
one was a chicken wing,
the next was a lack of turn,
the next I got it to a good point but not far enough.
(improved distance however to much strain was involved)

Went home, poped the DVD into the machine, looked at the instructions, started to memorize the position in the backswing, and started to feel the proper turn.
(Felt much better and allow I guess for a better impact)

Then tomorow I go back to the range and try it out.
Practice this for a while and then go out and play again to see if it holds up or not.

I do this over and over until my game holds up, when I can hit the ball where I want, as far as I want, with the acuracy and precision I want.

Then I just play.

Obviously, this allows me to;
Practice and improve fast using feedback.
Sorting out when I play and where I practice.

I test my game on the course, playing like I want, if I cant make it I check what the failure is based on.
Obviously, when the technique (swing) is working then its all about working on details and improving smaller things since then I could play the game.

Its all about making a plan and meeting the criteria I want.
I have some criteria in my golf swing, how long, how I need precise yardage with each club and so on.
So, my practice is all about getting there, to those criteria, until they are met, I continue test, practice, test, test and so on until, I meet my criteria.

When I do?
Then its ingrain time, make a habit, and then play.
I then can trust it fully on course.
Then its all about precision/state/endurance/feeling good.

Make 18 greens in regulation, close to the hole, make the putts. etc...
Shoot under 80, under 70 and then under 60.

But to get there, I must meet my criteria, my outcome, what I need to make the game on the level I want to play it.

Its going in the right direction, and with 2 weeks to go to play regulary on summer greens cant come fast enough..

Continious Improvement is important due to being able to measure ones skills are going up that actually affects the results.

In the ZONE

If Performance has a trademark its the Zone.
The bubble, the space of being in the moment.

Most athletes are searching for those moments when it all come togheter.
Obviously such peak state must be a great advantage when performing in sports and it is.

What most never do and never learn is to enter the zone by choice.

What typically happens is that, one day it all works, its all comes silent and everything just goes slooow.
Such moments are states of consiousness that can be elicited, trained and practiced as any other skill.

Most never do.
Think about it, many practice the technical levels, the skill to perform but rarely practice the mental game, the states that produce the highten perceptual performance?

As I work on my technical skills, as I must do since I never really learned to hit a golfshot with a proper swing, I also from time to time practice my state of consiousness, as a way to turn it on and off.
I dont practice it much when I am learning a skill, I use it when I can produce the technical level and then add the state to the performance I want to have and test.

So, being in the Zone is a choice, its learnable and also can be set on or off flickin on a switch.
So how come so few knows how to do stuff like that?

Often they learn it by chance, they just happen to produce it when competing.
Some learn to produce it with external pressure, as the pressure increase, their performance goes up and as it does, their state shifts into a Zone like one.

So, instead of writing stuff that been written before, any state can be learned, accessed and put into practice as any other skill in sports.

Enjoy being in the Zone

Practice the basics

Everyone might know how important practice is the question is, how many do their practice and how do they do it?

Every practice needs to be measured for improvment, this is a must do.
If you practice to just keep a current standard that is fine.
I still would recomend you to find improvement, this is simply to train your brain to move on, to keep up to the next step.

Why to do so are beacuse of the idea of having more variation and more room for mistakes.
We are training our destinctions in how we percive our motions with the body and how we cordinate, the movement/motion.

The brain knows no difference between a percived fantasy what we just make up in our head and the real thing.
Unless we make sure the brain knows the difference.

When I practice, I find something that I need improvement on.
I check the basics, posture, ballflight, sound of quality of hit.
If they are the same, and not what I want, I go trough everything to check for flaws in the basics, posture, alignment etc...
Then I practice the new distinction, make sure it goes to the top of my priority list and then enhance that and sort out previous flaws and strengthen the new one.
Doing that allows for faster improvement and this can be measured and tested.

I test by two methods, one is on the practice tee, making sure I improve and meet my goals.
Then I measure it on the course.
One shot, so any flaws will be coming out sooner or later.

I also when I played my second round found I had improved my distance control, with the current distance even if short, I hit a lot of approach shots spot on.
That was a new feeling, a new sensation and makes me feel like I could truly play my game of golf this year and in the coming season.

I still need to work on, distance with long game, control of the short game, learning to judge ball roll on green when the greens are up for it, putting to make sure I can make 20 foot putts the same way I make 2 foot ones.

Overall, I am improving my game.
That is currently the aim, not the score.
I need to find the flaws, I need to stabilize the basics, hit the distance I want and needs to have to compete.
So, the score isnt that important currently, since I am not trying to score first and foremost but to play the game my way in how I set it up. (this makes the aim for practice)
As long I havent meet my aim and goal, I need to practice, identify the variables that I need to practice more, until I meet my criteria in how I make the shots, the distance and acuracy and when I got that, I then will focus on my score big time.
Then the state and endurance will be more important factors, how I eat, strength, and such practices.

So when practice, keep track of what you practice, why its important, what is the order of practice you need, when to shift attention of details and so on.

• Practice the basics until you can do whatever you want.
• Know the details of importance that actually produce the results in your sport.
• (In golf, short game, distance to pin and putts made)
• Measure and have evidence when you meet your practice goals.
• When you have met your criteria and have evidence of that, ie the motion/move your make produce the results you want, then you ingrain that until its fully automatic ie unconsiously produced. (Make it a habit)
• Connect motion/move to beliefs and state of performance.

What typically happens is that people never practice properly and correct.
They dont have long term goals, they dont measure and have evidence of improvement connected to the long term goals which often cause frustration, irritation, anger, and dissapointment.

If you measure the wrong things that do NOT produce result in your sport, how could you improve then?

You need the facts, the hard boiled evidence.

I never knew this myself and I been playing golf for several years.
I had to change my approach to the game this year, and I used everything I taught a pro golfer and what we found over the years to set the goals/outcome, the evidence with proper measurement, states of consiousness, eating, working out, a plan of practice based on the long term goal, full trottle to actually make my goals come true this season.

And this blogg is all about that and performance.

Using my background knowledge of NLP and doing modeling for several years and coaching athletes made my coming from a different background than most have. I also question everything taught in golf. I have found no one knows really what produce results in golf.

I sought the evidence, the information that I needed to make my goal this season.
This made me find Dave Pelz books about the short game and how he could measure success of result and scoring of golf.
I found symple golf swing last year but this year I ordered the DVD´s since they promised an easier golfswing and acurate and with distance and also faster to learn.
I changed my eating habits, my working out with crossfit system.
All this came of just setting a new goal for the season of golf.

Pretty interesting isnt it?

I can practice now with a different aim, I can measure my practice, if I improve or not, I cant do the same thing over and over again due to the goal I measure with evidence, I cant stop practice until its improving.
I know now what I need to do, how to do it and having a better quality improvement and faster one and an ability to sort out and ingrain better than most ever know exist, I can do it.

This leads to a change in my perception.
I see things, I feel things differently, I measure what I do differently since I know what my outcome is about and how to get there.

This is for me a fully different approach to golf and sports.

I can also use this experience and knowledge to improve my NLP skills and the how I teach the things I teach.

So, by doing this outcome for golf, I actually improve other things I do in my life.
Isnt that great?

Practice basics and know why and how and what and most importantly, measure with evidence.

The mind of Performance

Direction of mind is important for performance.

Its like a steering wheel, unless you steer it where you want it will either not go anywhere or go elsewhere, anywhere.

The mind is controlled by two main attributs, beliefs and states.
Beliefs give directions and states give the fuel.

I sat down the goal, and it is measureable with evidence, with the chosen state I have direction and a supporting state for the activity the performance I want to do.
Then its all about making abilites, skills and everything else fall down into this formed context of performance.

You might notice, beliefs exists with context, it becomes a sorting factor, we must know what the context that forms from beliefs are and then in some way isolate it or make it stand out so its no question where it is and how its formed and how to be present and used when you need it in your performance.

In many ways, beliefs creates contexts.

Be mindful what you create then.

Owning the Move

In every generation there is a hero or an athlete who surpass the old ones.

The development of new material, new workouts and better technical understanding makes the sport easier to get good at than previously, however, still you need to have an athlet who surpasses the old ones.

This is seldom with physical attributs.
In Golf for example Tiger Woods dosnt have an advantage with length, or more power.
In Tennis the endurance and strength are seldom a deciding factor who wins even as Roger Federer been nr1 for a long time.

The factors that play a role are how well the athlete can stay in the same state, keep the good form (technique) and think strategically and use a good gameplan.

Owning the move is such an approach to sports.

The idea is to find the optimal way to perform the moves in the particular sports according to ones physiology and anatomy and then when the moves is down, incoding it until you own it.

If you can do so, then you always have a move that you can perform under pressure, under stress, and you can do it.

This happens due to how I approached the game of Golf.

Setting my outcome in the way I did this year, I had to find a learning process that would allow me to play the level I wanted, to do so I needed a few key variables to be there. I cant train more and I needed to train smarter.

Using the compound effect of experience over the years, I came up with owning the move as an approach to learning motions in sports, fast, effectivly and permanent.

To do so I needed a way to not be dependent on emotions, beliefs and states of consiousness.
As many athlets say, I didnt played well and was sloppy due out of form, tired, nervous, out of shape, etc...

I needed an approach that would allow me to truly own the move.
I used my knowledge in NLP and modeling and the experience gained over the years.
Seting the futurebased outcome with evidence, I had a way to measure my progress, I also would know if I got it and that I could only train from the right and correct approach from the ground up, I had to know if I am going to play that what I do are working or not.

This set up for me an approach that I slowly uncovered over the weeks I started practice golf.

Owning the move means that you are doing it technically right and that you have a whole form level of knowing you can do it.
Its like a handshake, or cykling, when its down, its down.
You can just do it.

What typically happens when people learn is to add complexity to what they are learning.
Doing trail and error is what we do, until we can do it, however for our neurology we have several ways we have practised this trail and error.
We seldom en-code the final move into a sorted out context.
Its like phonenumbers, we get the right call if we use the right phonenumber, but press one number wrong and we end up elsewhere even if the same area code has been used.

This is also the reason I have struggled for years with golf, I never knew the move, then when I started to learn it, my body could not do it.
Frustration hit me, I know what the move was like, I had enough information from text and video but my body since it havent done it could not do it.
So I spend a few hours to find the move, it took me around 5 hours to find it.

Then as soon as I got it, know how to do it, it was obvious.
The important here is to not pay attention to what does not work as your learning, just measure, is it the move I want?

In athletics Susanna Kallur is said to be on of the best technical running 100 meter hurdles.
There is nothing to stop the others to get the same technical advantage.
They cant get it due to a lack of knowing how to get it and doing it.
So they keep doing the old patterns and old technique over and over.

When the move is found, its obvious and can then be created over and over again.
Its sorted out automatically, my body now knows, how its to be done.
What is left for me to do is to Optimize this move so it becomes the power base I need to compete.

Owning the move is beyound beliefs, its actually a know how for the body.
Its also a whole form experience.
Which means,
if you enter a field of grass, sea or something where you just say, its beautyful.
Now, can you describe it?
The description your trying to do is not the beauty, agreed?
But as soon you see it, you know, right?
Its beautyful.

For you this means the sensation is a whole form one. Its not possible to describe it, its not possible to use NLP to model how people know this due to its not a HOW TO........
Since modeling are based on analyzing behaviour, beliefs and states we cant model the lack of a HOW TO in beauty.

So, I used the knowledge and experience from NLP and modeling a system of whole form knowledge and experience.
What I found was a lot of missconceptions along with a truly great way to understand the world.

I am most likely one of the few in the world who knows this difference, maybe the only one.

So, what do I do with this then?
I apply it on Golf, learning the motions and finding out how far can I go with it.

Owning the move is to find the basic unit that allows the movement and motion to be made with the intended result which are evidenced based and measureable.

Of course there is more to it.
But that is for another time and place.

Progress Update

As I sat down the outcome for my golfing this summer a lot has going on for me.

What I do currently is the following,

• Adding the skills/experiences/aha to the context of the outcome (I am a professionell elitegolfer).
• Practice into owning the move.
• Testing different states.
• Finding the proper moves in the golfswing.
• Get feedback on the practice of the short game and long game.

What all the above means is this,
In my practice, I need to find out "How to do the move" when I have it right I keep re-inforcing until a shift in my learning happens where "I know" I can do it happens.

When I practised today I found out I didnt know how to do a golfswing!
Suprise is the least thing that happen, frustration kicked in when I couldnt do the move properly.
So, I been playing golf down to 11 handicap, and finding out I cant do a golfswing properly?
Gee, darn, and as I worked on the range for 3 hours I kept working at the outcome, the goal, being able to do the movement, correct and properly.
The progress is all about knowing what to measure and look for, as the question, how do I know that I got it down?

I found this, I video the swing, noticing that I was not on plane, and I did not have a release which means that I didnt do a core turn properly.
I started to get it a bit better in the end.
So, at home I worked on proper plane in the backswing, and also on the release.
Now, this with some good video showing Jimmy Ballard talking about "connected left shoulder" added for me some knowledge and distinctions in what to look for to owning the move and knowing to know when I got it.

As I practice, even when I am frustrated, I dont mind that due to I am continue looking to get it right. The frustration was due to me finding out I didnt know how to do the movement at all.
My brain did know what the move is and what its like but my body could not do it due to a lack of specific movements.
So I adjust and test until I notice I am on the right track which I measure with accuracy and distance.
I am measuring the average distance, the quality of the hit.

When I get it, I will wait for the indication that I got it, then I will own the move.
This is a whole form sensation, much similiar to riding a cykle or doing a handshake, you just know you can do it.
So, when I bring out the driver, I need to have that, 300 yard down the fairway, ok, then I do this and hit it down there.
And as long I dont have that move down, I wait until I get there.
This mean a fast and much better feedback improvement happens in my learning.
I adjust and improve so fast since I know, this isnt working, that is not working, then adjusting, looking for information that helps me get there - when its working.
So even if I got stuck and frustrated and didnt know what to do I kept finding ways to get where I need and want to be.

This is the attention phase, noticing, does this work, does this improve my skill, does it meet my outcomes?
Mapping this golfswing suddenly showed me the things I needed to improve.
On plane in the backswing, and working on the athletic move of a proper core turn with a correct release.
I didnt have a release at all.(suprise)
Which made me loose power and the lack of distance showed that.

When I ingrain and integrate owning the move I am using the new findings I done over the years doing modeling of Joseph Riggio.
For me its a variation of the learning process where the new moves must be done until a shift happens where the body as a system knows how to do it. When that happens, its a deep seated knowledge, not affected by thinking.
The process builds momentum to confidence, security, faith, due to the nature of having the knowledge that you can do this move, whenever you need to.

Note that I say, this owning the move are a pre-requsite of the feelings people have in regard to an ability.
Most go by the feelings not the knowledge of owning an ability.

This is important for making fast progress:

• Knowing the outcome. (Future based)
• Practise never gets stuck due to I am looking for the right/correct/proper moves.
• Improvements in skills/abilites goes faster due to knowing what to do based on measured test against criteria. (finding the right/proper/correct move with its distinctions)
• Owning the move. The coding phase of the athletic move to produce a consistent result. (knowledge/state)
  
• Testing the move when its owned.

I test from time to time when I own the move the state I want to play from, then ingrained the state and the move with the context and future based outcome I am aiming for.
I dont use the state of how I want to play as I practice since then I am in an analytical phase and using a different state.

As I progress, finding the answers, I test them, and then make a new test session to workout the new changes.

I dont have time or the stamina to work long days so I need to work smarter, not harder.
Progress must be done fast, in the same session is optimal but if the knowledge and information is lacking this can be needed to do research to get the right information to improve. (as it was with release and being on plane)

So, tomorow I will work on release and being on plane, this be done at my sister since her house allows for at least full wedge shots on her backyard.

I am planning a small trip next week to train my short game and Maybe do some actual playing on a course.
The winter has just started to loose its grip here and the summer is still a month away.

One thing to note, if I didnt put up my new outcome then I wouldnt have found that I couldnt swing properly, I most likely would have continued doing what I had done due to no improvement most likely would have been made. (Ever get stuck in your life?)

This is crucial as a concept to understand in performance, new goals/outcomes/beliefs/practice to get it right will if the movement isnt properly done be a counterexample to the movement you currently have. ( a contrast)
For me obviously I notice, that my body didnt have a memory for the movement.
I could only notice that since I wanted to be able to do the criteria of swinging and hitting the ball the proper distance and with acuracy.
When I tried to do so, according to instruction and feedback from practice then that showed up due to setting the new outcome with measureable evidence.

I dont view this as negative or even flawed or a fault.
I just attend to what will give me the proper movement, the proper distance and the proper accuracy to meet my evidence that the shots I make are according to my criteria.
And as long my criteria is not met, I continue to find how to do it.

A lot of people when things dont work focus on why it does not work.
They are learning to troubleshooting the movements.
Often what happens as a result of that approach is the proper and correct movement never get ingrained and owned by the performer.
They learn an extra analytic stage and add that to the skill set they got, however, the pathways to perform then include two different ways the ball could be hit, the right and proper way, and then when it is not hit the proper and correct way, the person who learned to troubleshoot will then use analytic thinking in why this happen, often shift their state so much they get stuck in the thinking.
(this is why I wrote this blogg)
To understand that performance when ingrained properly, is all that is needed to attend to. When something does not work, you already know its not your technique that is to blame...its either your thinking, emotion, beliefs, physical status since if you own the move then that stays the same.

Now think about it, this is why I mention owning the move, why I work on being smarter, finding out how to do it right and properly, even when it takes time and require constant refinement, I am working on how to do it properly now, so that I dont need to do it later.

I just wished I found this swing technique earlier and also set this new outcome when I started out and also knew how to do the learning process with practice.
However, expereince and know how comes with experience.

Eating - the breakfurst of champions

There is a lot of missconceptions of food, eating and nutrition out there.

I follow what is called a nehandertal or 40.000 year old eating idea.
Meaning you eat, fruit, vegetables, fat, protein but avoid sugar as pasta, ris, bread and potato and ofc also candy as much I can ;)

The idea is several, a more plane smooth curve of bloodsugar is a result, meaning better Performance over time. Need bananas out there?
Might try, fruit of a different kind and maybe some nuts.

You also eat less, much less.

Eating like this have for me allowed a better bloodsugar curve, I am less tired and have less dips in the day.
I eat and are seldom hungry even if I dont eat a lot.

Much of how I eat is this,
in the morning, 2 eggs boiled, yoghurt and grains and coffe with some cream into.
Dinner often bacon, ham and egg and vegetables and some keso, yoghurt or such to spice it up and add some flavour.
I eat maybe half of what I used to eat and I can even go by eating less from time to time depending on my schedule.

This have with crossfit brought my strength up, endurance up, lost some weight, added some muscles and lost some fat.
I still have a long way to go, but I consider this summer playing golf the test of continue my eating schedule, continue doing crossfit and working on my game as I build endurance and strength.

How you eat affect your performance in several ways, if you get insulin rushes, you get tired faster, loose focus and concentration can be affected.
You get a better overall health and can stay fit easier, regain your stamina faster after competition, and that is useful if your doing several days of competition in a row.

Look at http://www.arthurdevany.com/ for more info on this type of eating habits.
