Beautifully simple, Tiger Woods’ golf swing is powerful, elegant, and sexy. It causes the line between sport and art to blur and creates the byproduct of awe bathed in shades of envy.
You may never be able to emulate it … at least not on the golf course. But try applying the Tiger Woods swing strategy to your business or consulting practice. Here’s how it works:
- Concentrate on the result you want to achieve but be aware of how changing conditions in your environment may affect your effort.
- Be strong, but shake off the tension; tension only works against you, not for you.
- Visualize where you want to land. Focus on both your immediate goal and your long term goal and envision yourself achieving them.
- When the moment is right, take dead aim. Resist the impulse to act too quickly or linger too long.
- Make sure your grip is neutral; don’t try to force things by holding on too tightly or so loosely you lose control.
- Stay flexible. The more flexible you are, the more power and control you can generate.
- Keep your eye—not on the target—but on the deliverable.
- Make impact. Make a powerful impact releasing your well aimed, well executed effort, confident it will reach its intended target.
- Now hold your follow-through. You’ve invested this much in your swing, don’t move on to the next task so quickly that you neglect to see this one all the way home.
Watch the video to your right of Tiger’s swing shot in super slow motion, filmed on a Phantom v5 digital camera which is usually used to film military defense systems. Watch it for the mastery and pure talent it shows and artistry of this video. But watch it also for the critical life lessons it so beautifully teaches. Tiger Woods is an Obvious Expert.
