To Get Better, Use a Coach
By Art Sobczak

My golf game progresses in direct proportion to two things:

The quality and quantity of practice time I put in.

Staying on a regular coaching schedule with my golf teacher.

About three years ago I was consistently shooting in the high 90 s and ready to melt the clubs into a paperweight. Today I m in the low 80 s and dip into the 70 s.

I don t say this to boast (Ok, maybe just a little), but to compare this improvement to what it takes to be successful in sales.

Success in golf, sales, or most any endeavor that requires skill relies on knowledge, practice, and coaching. Regardless of how much I improve, I ll always use a coach. Particularly when I m temporarily out of sync. It amazes me how my coach can watch me hit just a few balls, have me make a few minor adjustments, and have me once again striking blazing rock
