David has worked with my team a short amount of time this fall. I am excited about the improvements I see with my players both on and off the course. David gives a very simple approach to the mental side of the game, which everyone can understand. He makes the players more self-reliant and gives them ways to make the changes. David’s process is exciting and is a life skill for all. I encourage you to talk with David as he will make  a difference in your life.

David Breslow’s approach produces results because it is clear, sensible and enlightening and nothing like I’ve heard or read before. David provides the clarity, insight and tools necessary to refine your mental game and take it to the next level! My better play, well executed shots and a sense of harmony in competition are all a function of an improved mindset which David walks us towards.I was a plus 2 handicap and knew I could still be better and just had to make the call. After 2 weeks working with David things started to change!  I began playing better and am considering the PGA qualifying school in 2007. If you’re serious about improving…make the call."       Greg Sato / +2 handicap

"Most people do not realize it, but the game of golf truly is 100% mental.  The pressures of competitive play can make the mind jump to negative thoughts that produce less than desirable effects on a player's game.  With the help of David and his revolutionary techniques, I have been able to improve my game and learn how to control these thoughts.  By putting the skills into complete use, I saw immediate results in my attitude not only on the course, but off.  My scores dropped and my outlook on the game changed completely.  Because of David's help, I see much success in my future for tournament play." "Samantha Sloan/ Illinois Junior Golfer of the Year 2006

Dear David,
“Everybody has hopes that with just one more key, they'll be playing like pros. On top of that almost nothing in the golf world really works for more than a few days. I don't know if you realize this but your material is the only thing that has made a lasting improvement that I can "count" on. More importantly look at the nature of the improvement this process reduced my scores  from an average of 81 to an average of 70!!! Years of practicing hitting drives, putting, etc. but nothing was there to tie it together until I read your material and spoke with you and most importantly; it sticks, it continues to work and there is simply nothing else in golf to compare it to. Thank you, David.”

David, I have an amazing story for you…your 45 minute speech at the WWGA, just a few key points, stayed with me through my WIN at the 7th Annual Chicago International over the weekend! I am looking forward to receiving a SIGNED copy of your book very soon. Please let me know how we can arrange that!”

 “I truly enjoy reading your emails and reading what information that you have put out to the public thus far! Your insight and understanding of what is really going on in the mind while we individuals pursue this lifelong game of golf on all levels has been great. You make the process of processing these thoughts much easier to understand and how to go about making needed changes and how to apply that mental focus. I have started to not only incorporate your suggestions in my game of golf but, your words also bring a lot of inspiration in my personal life as well and would just like to thank you!”

“I never thought I would work with a mental skills coach. I have always had plenty of confidence in my mental game and I figured I would learn what I needed as I progressed in my professional golf competing in top tournaments around the world, my accomplishments were not measuring up to my potential. Tired of underachieving on the golf course, I finally took the leap of faith required to examine and improve career. However, after years of my mental game. Within weeks of my first visit with David I began to play and enjoy golf as I intended…

Dear David:
 
I took up golf at 63 yrs (3 tears ago) in order to play with my two sons-in-law. I started by reading every book on golf in the library and also ordering golf magazines. Finally, after a few professional lessons, I could play without embarrassing them. However, it wasn't until I got the On-line version of "Wired To Win" that I could enjoy the game and continue to improve too. Thanks for your help. The review of articles in today's GOLF Channel email was a great summary.  
 
Sincerely,
 
Ed Burns

David,
 
" Thanks for the note.  Played a tournament today.  Won the flight and shot  80.  Lowest tournament round ever!  Thanks for all your help.  I still re-read my notes on a regular basis and they have brought more insight and help in all phase of my life, not just golf."

Talk soon,
Jim P. Salesman and Golfer.

        
TENNIS:

“I’ve invited David to speak at both my Chicago and Detroit Tennis Workshops. His presentation takes the subject of the “mental game” in tennis far beyond the usual and repetitive! He had over 200 high school coaches excited and interested as he offered his unique on-court drills and insights into his “Perform In The FlowZone” principles. I heartily recommend that you check it out for yourself, your team or your workshop and conference. Your view of the mental game will never be the same.”

“I would like to express my confidence in Mr. Breslow based on the work he has done at the USTA National Tennis Center. His abilities blend well with the juniors as well as the adults….I have received nothing but praise from parents, pros and players…his attributes of sincerity, communication and ability to bridge theory into usable practice…is a positive and active force in the tennis playing community and would enhance the ETA, USTA and the game of tennis!”

Hi David,
”I just wanted to thank you and tell you how much I both enjoyed and look forward to using the techniques that you shared with us on Sunday (at LaCosta Resort).
Your passion for what you do was not only evidenced by your enthusiasm but in knowingly missing your plane flight! I can't thank you enough”

                                             Brad Brenner

Hello, David.

 “Thank you for your time and energy today at the La Costa Tennis Club FlowZone Clinic. My daughter and I really enjoyed it. What you taught really helped re-affirm many of the things that I had been teaching her as I have learned them from different places and you gave me insight into things that I had not thought of before”

“Your Peak Performance program has been an overwhelming success for the players and the staff and has made significant changes in their performance as well as their lives. You’ve offered a no-nonsense approach that takes the theory others talk about and make it real and usable on court...thank you!”

“I’d like to express my gratitude for your work with the Queens College tennis team. As a result of your help we finished with a #20 National ranking this year! I now understand the value of being part of your program. Your very presence provides the challenge, trust and direct feedback we all need to break our habits. I don’t know why everyone wouldn’t take advantage of you!”

“Before I met David, I was playing without a brain. Now I have one! Without improving my strokes, David has helped me improve my decision making, attitude, thinking ability and my match play has dramatically improved! I’ve always hit the ball well in practice…now I’m doing it in matches. David has helped me so much…I recommend him to anyone who wants to get better!

Dear Mr. Breslow-
I picked up some great information from your seminar...you made a great presentation! I am coaching the men's tennis team at Valparaiso University. We are a small division 1 school so we always have our work cut out for us. Trying to sell them
on the fact that they should not talk negatively about themselves seems to be the toughest task. It is very hard to get them to discard the old self concept and imagine a new and improved one. I believe that the information you gave me should help with this battle as well as other mental battles that we encounter. Thank you again.
                       Sincerely, Jim Daugherty /Head Men's Tennis Coach

 

OTHER SPORTS:


"David stood before 40, 7th and 8th grade boys from our Jr. High track team for over two hours. He explained to our athletes how energy, relaxation and focus are all connected; the importance of body language; how some athletes put up obstacles that hinder their performance and how to take them down; and how to focus on the things that they have control over and what happens when they do. David held their attention the entire time, using exercises and verbal interaction. Ten days later, we won our Sectional and qualified more kids for State than ever. Coincidence? I think not! Thank you, David!

Bill Pavlich, Track Coach

"Our traveling youth baseball team engaged David to talk with players (age 14) about the mental aspects of sports.  Quite frankly we were blown away by his presentation - it was four stars!  The players were enthralled and energized by it. What we got was a lot more than just sports related material. Almost everything David taught us was applicable to real life - a great, unexpected bonus. What we learned we put into immediate use and we clearly had our best year ever. He equipped the boys with great tools to handle the ups and downs and he got us all (adults included) looking at the game and ourselves from a new perspective.  Still, many years later, I tell people with complete sincerity that those two hours with David were as impactful on my life as any educational experience I ever had.  I often wonder why this material isn't taught earlier and more often. As a coach I know it's the best thing I ever did for our team."
