I had a golf tournament at Eugene Country Club I started the round off playing pretty decent golf, my mind my clear and I wasn't really thinking about anything. Once I hit a bad golf shot I started thinking about my golf swing and what was going wrong with it, I kept trying to picture my swing and thinking of ways to fix it. Slowly my game was getting worse and I didn't realize why until now, it was because I wasn't relaxed; I was over thinking my golf swing which made it worse. Towards the end of the round I stopped worrying about my swing and told myself that I was just going to have fun, when I did this I became more relaxed and I started hitting the ball better and was making pars. To me this is a perfect example of how your mentality affects your game, it's not always about physical requirements. I feel that this similar thought process can be used in other sports and in classrooms as well.
