Teaching the Teacher - Topic of the Day

For the past 4 days I've been training 7 German Golf Professionals on improving their golf and teaching skills.  All of them have a thirst for knowledge which makes it even more enjoyable to help them.
One of the key topics today involved allowing yourself to exaggerate a correction to make some improvement.  Often times students are too worried about the outcome and this gets in the way of the process.  My experience has been the better you perform the process the outcome has a higher percentage of being favorable.  A feeling of 'letting go' of the result allows a person to concentrate more on the process.  The process can involve creating the plan for the shot as well as giving yourself the feeling in a practice swing.  Putting both together and then being 100% committed to the playing of the shot is the best recipe for success.
