Orlando, FL (August 31, 2009) — The golf world is buzzing about Heath Slocum’s surprise win at this weekend’s FedEx Cup event. However, golf psychology expert, Dr. Gio Valiante, was not surprised. Slocum has worked with sports psychologist, Dr. Valiante, on improving his mental game.
“Dr. Valiante has helped my transition on to the PGA Tour. My game improved almost immediately after meeting him,” said Heath Slocum.
Dr. Gio Valiante, a professor of psychology at Rollins College, has trained the minds of the best golfers in the world. In fact, Dr. Valiante has trained the past five Fed Ex Cup event winners, including Heath Slocum, with his mental conditioning program, Fearless Golf.
At a post-tournament news conference, a reporter questioned Slocum about his mindset while viewing his name on the leaderboard among other heavy hitters.
“In all honesty, it’s funny because I’ve worked with Gio Valiante quite a bit on this,” said Slocum. “I don’t worry about who is ahead of me, who is behind me. I’m focused right on the golf course and the task at hand.”
By combining research from diverse fields in performance psychology, Dr. Valiante has created a program that has had measurable results with golfers at all levels. Fearless Golf is based on the principle that golf is as much a mental game as a skills game.
“My program teaches golfers to get rid of the extra baggage that clutters their minds, which allows them to remain clear and focused on their way to playing fearless golf,” said Valiante.
Dr. Valiante and Fearless Golf have produced winners including Chad Campbell, Will Mackenzie, Vijay Singh, Justin Leonard, Davis Love III, Bryce Molder, and Matt Kuchar.
Fearless Golf has been a huge success with both professionals and amateurs. In an effort to reach more amateur golfers, Dr. Valiante produced Fearless Golf Academy DVD, a 3-disk DVD set which teaches golfers of all skills levels how to build their confidence. The set can be purchased for $99.95 plus shipping.
