Q: Dr. Gupta, I’ve always wanted to be exceptional at what I do. But I suffer from constant ups and downs. More downs than ups, actually. How do I overcome this and become a legend in my field?

KG: What do you do?

Q: I’m a professional golfer.

KG: What sort of downs are you speaking of?

Q: My scores are not where I want them to be. They are not consistent.

KG: If your scores are not consistent, then what this means is that the person who is producing the shots is not consistent. Would you agree?

Q: Oh, absolutely.

KG: From the standpoint of the execution of your shots, what do you believe is the reason for your inconsistency?

Q: I could say it’s my swing. But I know it’s probably my mind more than anything else.

KG: What do you mean by that exactly?

Q: I know that this is your domain. Don’t you agree that it’s probably my mind?

KG: That’s much too broad a statement. Throwing pebbles into the Atlantic ocean won’t get us anywhere. What specifically do you believe is your problem?

Q: I really want to be great. I just don’t know how to get there.

KG: Why, in your opinion, are you not already there?

Q: Basically because my tournament performances are not consistent enough.

KG: Where do you believe that performance comes from?

Q: I really don’t know.

KG: I applaud your honesty. This will save us a lot of time. You see, performance is a side effect. And if you treat it as a goal, it will elude you.

Q: I’ve always been taught that performance is the main goal. I structured everything around it.

KG: How has this worked out for you?

Q: Not very well.

KG: Performance is a natural byproduct. If you understand the subtle nuances of training, performance simply comes to you.

Q: Can you explain that please?

KG: To be truly great, you must understand that the human body does not respond very well to goals or hopes or expectations. It responds to Perceptions. And the more clear cut your perceptions, the more consistent your results will be. Therefore, your entire training plan must be centered upon a foundation of perception rather than technique. Technique training is like a bullock cart. Perception training is like a Ferrari.

Q: So this perception training is what I’m lacking? I’ve never even heard of it.

KG: The truth is always rare. It is never found in the middle of the street. It is typically found in remote corners of the world. For it requires a true seeker to find it.

Q: That makes sense. So are you saying that everyone in professional golf is being trained wrong?

KG: I don’t want to call it wrong or demonize anyone, for every coach tries to help his player in his own well-intentioned manner. I will just say that the manner by which professional golfers are taught is incongruent with the way that the human mind perceives and the human body responds. As a result, the player will constantly work against himself, rather than exploiting the natural gifts that nature has given him.
