Episode 2 of Greats, I read Tiger Woods by Jeff Benedict and Armen Keteyian.One of the best athletes of all time, Tiger as he’s known across the world was built, ruthlessly, for the game of golf.From just 6 months, he was fed whilst watching his father hit golf balls in his family home, and by 2, and a swing most adults would love to have as their own.In this episode, I unpack 3 key themes that I think made Tiger the greatest golfer of all time, and which ultimately led to his personal destruction.Those themes are practice, focus/competitive edge and visualisation, and finally bad and good mentors in his life.Thanks for being here and I hope you enjoy listening and applying the lessons in your life.Godspeed.Support the podcast for free, by simply engaging with the content.
