Beyond his power and exquisite skills Tiger Woods was at his best when he faced tough lies & pressure shots and transformed into golf's Houdini. He had ice in his veins and would take up the challenge no matter how bleak. Check out this vintage escape from Muirhead Village in 1999 when he absolutely duffs his first chip prompting commentator and all time legend Jack Nicklaus to say: "Now he's going to have a hard time making 5". But Tiger never gives up, owns his mistake and holes a sublimely timed flop shot for a par 4, responding like true champions do. Tiger then does an iconic fist pump, botches his fist bump with caddie Steve Williams and leaves Vijay Singh stonefaced. Tiger would win the tournament by two strokes over Vijay. We are all going to duff a shot at some stage but its how you come back from the disappointment that matters. #Tiger #Guts Credit: PGA Tour

💪Love how you keep teaching sports psychology. It is so important in life and in business as it sifts people really serious about their goals

The differences between my golf game and Tiger Woods' game are vast, but best summed up in that clip. I would regularly do the first and never the second, he would rarely do the first and regularly do the second.

Don’t be that person who just views in silence, let’s connect and make those dreams happen.
