Publisher's summary
Do you have anything in your life you would like to get better at?
Maybe it's a new challenge, or maybe it's something you have struggled with trying to master in the past. Whatever it is, the only way to see real improvement is with a systematic way to practice it. SMART Practice is a complete method to organize skill improvement and help you get better at anything!
SMART Practice was developed to allow anyone to maximize their efforts in improving their skill. Being efficient and effective with how you work on your skill will move you forward and keep you from getting frustrated and wanting to quit. If you look back on anything you have given up on in the past, it was most likely due to not having a good system to keep you on track!
SMART Practice helps you assess where you are; determine what you need to do next; schedule your time in a unique and powerful way with the SMART Zone schedule; drill down on anything with the five SMART steps; and learn to use the "Four R Circle" to help you track and review what you are working on.
There has been a ton of books that delve deep into the idea that talent can be "nurtured", but they usually stop short of giving you a system to help you nurture yours! SMART Practice shows you a step-by-step system that gives you guidance and clear direction to take your skill to the next level.
If you have something you want to get better at, SMART Practice is simply the best way to get there.

Golf is a beloved yet technical game, so a sound swing and precise technique are essential. Most golfers who want to improve their skills go to the range and work painstakingly on their swings, not realizing it's often their performance state on the course that needs work, not their technique. Simple things such as awareness of your balance, tension, and tempo, as well as the ability to control mental, emotional, and social variables you encounter while playing, can quickly take your game to a new performance level.

Are you stuck? Struggle. That's the word that comes to mind when I think about the transition from blue belt to purple belt. For reasons that I can't quite work out, when I came to the later stages of being a blue belt I felt confused and lost in my game. Trying to put all the pieces together seemed like a task too far and quitting looked like an option, after all, most guys my age are hitting the golf course or surfing not rolling on the floor with sweat soaked people.

What’s the number one thing stopping you from playing your best tennis? Ian Westermann, founder of the world’s #1 online tennis instruction portal, Essentialtennis.com, will confidently say it’s an obstacle you probably never thought of: The ball. The whole point of tennis is to hit the ball over the net and in, so how can the ball be the thing that’s standing in the way? In fact, this is why the ball is such an impediment: your desire to hit a good shot, with the right mix of power and spin, to a specific spot on the court, prevents you from striking the ball the way you should.

Story
Golf is a beloved yet technical game, so a sound swing and precise technique are essential. Most golfers who want to improve their skills go to the range and work painstakingly on their swings, not realizing it's often their performance state on the course that needs work, not their technique. Simple things such as awareness of your balance, tension, and tempo, as well as the ability to control mental, emotional, and social variables you encounter while playing, can quickly take your game to a new performance level.

It is no secret that more than two-thirds of the shots a golfer makes are shorts ones: putts, chips, and pitches. Long drives may garner applause, but whether a golfer wants to win the Masters or just five bucks from a friend on Saturday morning, it’s the little shots that make the difference. In The Unstoppable Golfer, Dr. Bob Rotella takes the same wisdom and experience that have worked for clients like Davis Love III and David Toms to help you master this special art of short shots and avoid all the frustration out of this increasingly challenging element of the game.

Story
As high achievers, we’ve been conditioned to believe that the path to success is paved with relentless work. That if we want to overachieve, we have to overexert, overthink, and overdo. That if we aren’t perpetually exhausted, we’re not doing enough. But lately, working hard is more exhausting than ever. And the more depleted we get, the more effort it takes to make progress. Stuck in an endless loop of “Zoom, eat, sleep, repeat”, we’re often working twice as hard to achieve half as much.
