Deep dives
The importance of immediate action and lack of patience
Butch Harmon, Tiger Woods' coach, argues that golfers who insist on being patient rarely reach their potential. Those who want immediate results and are willing to work hard without waiting tend to exceed their natural abilities and become overachievers. Tiger Woods exemplifies this lack of patience, making immediate and fully committed changes to his golf swing. Harmon suggests that patience often leads to wishful thinking, preventing individuals from truly working towards improvement.
