The Pro is a student of Performance Psychologist, Jim Loehr. Along with sports stars like golfers Ernie Els and Mark O’Meara, basketball stars like Nick Anderson and Grant Hill, and tennis pros like Pete Sampras and Monica Seles, The Pro renewed his career by studying under Loehr. While he is too old to get back on the big tours, he is coming into his own again on the Senior Tour. Saturday he is playing a round with his student Fred Franklin. He has already taught the basics from grip to sand shots. Fred has told him about his work pressures and asked to hear more about Jim Loehr’s philosophy of performance under stress. More and more The Pro is incorporating the principles he learned from Loehr into his advanced coaching.

Loehr says that the key to performance is not how you manage time but how you create vitality and channel your energy. If a person has all the drive in the world but cannot mobilize energy and channel it properly the time will be wasted. In an earlier round The Pro told Fred that there are four separate but related sources of energy:

• Physical
• Emotional
• Mental
• Spiritual

On Saturday morning the golf course will become a classroom and he will teach Fred Franklin more of Jim Loehr's concepts about performance.
