I wrote last week CLICK HERE about how learning sometimes has a little delay whilst the neurons in your brain are strengthening and being myelinated over time. This article continues on from that, and introduces the up and down nature of learning. When you are learning something new, often you can progress quite nicely […]
One of the biggest lessons I can pass down to someone learning golf, or anything, from my experiences as a player is this – patience. Although not one of the key factors in learning, it certainly helps. This is just a quick article to allow you to understand the learning process a little more, and […]
Don’t think of a white rabbit, don’t think of a white rabbit, don’t think of a white rabbit. I told you NOT to think of a White Rabbit. It seems such a silly thing to say, but the above ‘test’ is a really good way to display a point. How many times do you stand […]
