Don't Choke: A Champion's Guide to Winning Under Pressure

Don't Choke: A Champion's Guide to Winning Under Pressure

by Gary Player (Author)

Synopsis

Gary Player is one of golf 's greatest champions. As one of the "Big Three" of golf 's golden era, he helped launch golf as a major international sport. He sits fourth on the list of most major victories on the PGA Tour, and he built a reputation of being fearless on the course and steely on the greens. Don't Choke is Player's look at what it takes to achieve success when the pressure is on. Player explains how and why he became a champion and what it takes to win in big-time golf, but he also explains how learning to cope in tense situations can help anyone. This book is not about golf. Player has had a long successful career in business since his playing days-designing golf courses, marketing golf equipment and sportswear, and more. If you want to do better in a boardroom or in your next job interview, Player's advice will help. This glimpse into the mind of a champion offers lessons to everyone who faces pressure.
