Memory Hack

So the question becomes, how much self-monitoring Memory Hack Review is best for optimal performance? To answer this question, Dr. Daniel Gucciardi from the University of Western Australia looked at the putting performance of 20 golf pros under three conditions (January 2008, Psychology of Sports and Exercise). Golfers in the first group concentrated on three words having to do with their technique (e.g., 'head', 'balance' and 'shoulders'); the second group concentrated on three words unrelated to putting (e.g., 'white', 'black' and 'blue'); and the third group concentrated on one word which summed up the entire putting motion (e.g., 'smooth', 'seamless'). When the golf pros putted without any pressure on them, their performance was similar - most did very well. Yet, when pressure was added in the form of cash prizes, the performance of the groups differed dramatically. What Should You Think To Stay In The Zone? Two of the groups performed very well under pressure: the group focusing on one word and the group focusing on words unrelated to putting. The group that focused on several words having to do with their technique performed poorly under pressure. These results were similar to a 1999 study by Lew Hardy from University of Wales. In other words, athletes who focus on a specific set of rules regarding technique during their performance (e.g., 'keep head down', 'breathe every other stroke' and 'touch the wall with two hands') are more apt to falter under pressure than those who do not have a specific set of rules in mind.
