EUROPEAN TOUR COACH COMES TO MILL GREEN GOLF CLUB!

Ian Parker, Head Pro, took coaching at Mill Green Golf Club to a new level last weekend by hosting two seminars by Trained Brain’s Jamie Edwards – one of the top ‘mental game’ coaches on the European Tour.

Over 60 members of the Tiger Club (junior club for 6 – 15 yr olds) together with guests from other junior clubs enjoyed the first seminar and experienced first hand how the ‘trained brain’ can take their game to the next level. Practising simple routines as used by European Tour Players including Darren Clarke and Graham McDowell as well many other world class sportsmen and women the juniors were astounded at the results.

Jamie then congratulated Ian and presented him with a certificate for having qualified as an NLP Practitioner in April.

As the early session finished Ian commented “ I am delighted with the positive response from the children and their parents.”

With a further 60 Mill Green adult members attending the evening seminar the day was a huge success.  Said Ian afterwards  “I am now able to coach both Tigers and Adults a simple set of skills that ‘train the brain’ before, during, in between and after a round of golf.  It is in my opinion that the mental game has been ignored for too long – the game is 80 – 90% between the ears!”

More words from Ian

Jamie, a former England Basketball player uses his experience and knowledge to enhance the game of Professional golfers such as Darren Clarke & Graeme McDowell as well as other Professional sportsmen & women to concentrate on the positive aspects of their sport and train the brain to react accordingly.

During the workshop I was amazed to see you all achieve more than you thought you could….and that was just with a simple turning exercise!!  I am certain that Jamie’s approach is a key to taking your game to another level and that is why I have trained extensively in the NLP programme and am delighted to be incorporating this ethos during Tiger sessions.

To recognise the importance of the ‘mental game’ we have introduced the Trained Brain of the Month award.  Just to reiterate how highly Jamie and his teaching is valued by other professional sportsmen I enclose a copy of a newspaper report by Andrew Flintoff (England cricketer & Ashes winner!) explaining how he put his personal Ashes success down to Jamie’s mental game coaching.
