Book Description
'The pro tour's hottest coach' (Golf Digest) distills the lessons of a private strategy session into an indispensable 'soft skills' companion. Credited with transforming the short games of world-class golfers like Rory McIlroy, Phil Mickelson, Annika Sorenstam, and Yani Tseng, Dave Stockton is one of the most sought-after coaches in golf. Yet Stockton's natural abilities are more like the average player's than those of most tour superstars. Not particularly long off the tee and average in terms of ballstriking, Stockton has won multiple major championships through a willingness to set his ego aside and analyze his game objectively - precisely what make him so effective as an instructor. The hallmark of Stockton's coaching is the idea that 'trying doesn't work.' He shows students how to get out of their own way and let their subconscious take over. In Own Your Game, Stockton recreates the experience of riding eighteen holes with him at one of his highly sought-after corporate outings. He explains how any player can learn to use his or her mind effectively - both in the microcosm of the shot at hand and in plotting a way through a round and gives players the tools and the freedom to play better with the swing they currently have. 'Dave is a creative thinker, and he sees things others don't. He has his finger on the pulse of what it takes to play at the highest level.' Paul Azinger, major-championship winner and 2008 Ryder Cup captain'While studying professional golfers in the early 1980s, my mentor, Dr. Richard Lister, told me to look to Dave Stockton as an example of a player who is superb at getting the last drop out of the lemon. What he meant was, Dave has been the best at using his mental skills to get the very most from his physical skills. Having had the honor of working with Dave and more than three hundred other professional golfers since, I can confirm Dave's gift and passion for not only getting the very most from his own golfing skills but also from those of any golfer who aspires to do the same.' Dr. Deborah Graham, sport psychologist and author of The 8 Traits of Champion Golfers'Dave Stockton can help you simplify your approach, clear your mind, and make better decisions on the golf course. He's helped me become a better player, and I know he'll do the same for you.' Rory Mcllroy, two-time major-championship winner'To play your best at the most important times, you need to be comfortable. Dave shows you how to play confident and free. It's alot of fun!' Suzann Petttersen, two-time LPGA major-championship winner'Dave has proven methods that helped him achieve success on the course as one of the all-time great putters. His insight and positive mind-set helped me tremendously, and I would recommend him to anyone looking to improve.'Annika S�renstam, LPGA Hall-of-Famer and eight-time Player of the Year

Book Description
A Sports Illustrated Best Book of the Year: “Vivid portraits of the kids, parents and coaches of the Greater Miami Pop Warner league” (Linda Robertson, The Miami Herald). Although its participants are still in grade school, Pop Warner football is serious business in Miami, where local teams routinely advance to the national championships. Games draw thousands of fans; recruiters vie for nascent talent; drug dealers and rap stars bankroll teams; and the stakes are so high that games sometimes end in gunshots. In America’s poorest neighborhood, troubled parents dream of NFL stardom for children who long only for a week in Disney World at the Pop Warner Super Bowl. In 2001, journalist Robert Andrew Powell spent a year following two teams through roller-coaster seasons. The Liberty City Warriors, former national champs, will suffer the team’s first-ever losing season. The Palmetto Raiders, undefeated for two straight years, will be rewarded for good play with limo rides and steak dinners. But their flamboyant coach (the “Darth Vader of Pop Warner coaches”) will face defeat in a down-to-the-wire playoff game. We Own This Game is an inside-the-huddle look into a world of innocence and corruption, where every kickoff bares political, social, and racial implications; an unforgettable drama that shows us just what it is to win and to lose in America. “Powell elevates We Own This Game well above the average sports book to a significant sociological study.” —San Francisco Chronicle

Book Description
From 50 yards and in, no golfer in history has demonstrated more talent, flair, creativity and precision, or generated more raw excitement, than Phil Mickelson. His ability with the sand wedge and putter are legendary not only among fans but his peers as well, and it is his skill with those clubs that is primarily responsible for his winning 34 tournaments on the PGA Tour, including three major championships. In his first-ever instruction book, Mickelson explains in detail how to master every phase of the short game. Mickelson maintains that any golfer of average ability can become a deadly short-game player by approaching the subject with a blend of science (proper mechanics and setup) and art (imagination and feel). Mickelson does a fine job explaining both; combining the wisdom of his great teachers with his own fertile imagination, cultivated from 34 years of experimentation, trial and error. No golfer can afford to miss out on Mickelson′s secrets and tips.
