"I am planning to make MentalTiger training a permanent part of our program..."
"The Western Branch High School Golf Team worked with Suzanna of MentalTiger during our fall season. She was most helpful and worked with the team and individuals, addressing specific concerns and general procedures.
Before her session with the team we had lost three of our last four matches. After the MentalTiger session, the team finished third in the Southeastern District tournament, qualifying for the VHSL Regional Tournament ahead of two of the teams that had just beaten us. The team then played very well at the Regional, narrowly missing qualifying for the State Tournament.
I am planning to make her training a permanent part of our program and look forward to even better results in the future. Thanks, Suzanna!

"I've seen a drop in my handicap..."
"Suzanna, when I first met you and you told me about your coaching and about your methods, there was some apprehension…I thought, boy this is a little bit of hocus-pocus. What I found is that it’s not. Once we started working together and was able to follow where you were taking me it was easy to accept and move right along.
My results? There’s a different mental attitude that I have now. There’s more of an ability to concentrate and focus, I don’t have as many things running through my brain and I stay in my shots. I’m playing more instinctively again and I expect to make putts, where before I expected to miss them. Previously, people didn’t want me as a partner because of my putting, or they felt that when the putter got into my hand that they could beat me. I used to have a jerkiness to my stroke. Now it’s very smooth, I roll the ball much better and I’m making more putts. My partner was especially pleased when I recently made a 25’ putt!
I’m a statistic keeper and I used to feel that if I only had three or four 3-putts per round that was a pretty decent round for me. Now I’m very upset if I have one 3-putt. It’s a remarkable difference! I’ve also seen a drop in my handicap from between 7 and 7.5, down to 5.3 after only a few sessions. I look forward to working on my chipping and getting even more results.
You’re very easy to work with and I think you’re very intuitive in your understanding of a person’s needs. Frankly, I think you can help in every aspect of someone’s game or whatever shortcoming they have. I think some people might be resistant to this type of help or coaching, but if you can open your mind to it, it really can work.
I would not hesitate to suggest that others look into working with you."

"I'm more confident and decisive..."
"Since we’ve been working together, not only has my golf game improved in all areas, I find I have greater focus and concentration, I’m paying attention more and it’s easier to self-correct. Previously, I had a tendency to be anxious…now I’m more relaxed, more patient. I’ve stopped trying to force things. I’m more in touch with myself so I'm more confident and decisive, and trust my decisions more than ever.
After our sessions, while it’s subtle and hard to put into words, my head seems clearer and much more quiet. Things are sharper…the trees, the course. I remember things better, think quicker and words come to me easier. Others have even commented that my vocabulary is better.
I definitely have benefited from coaching with you. Thanks!"

"The ball went where I wanted it to go!"
"Suzanna, the performance coaching sessions I had with you were very special. I don't remember if I told you that I shot a birdie and my other shots weren't too bad either after my first session with you. The ball went where I wanted it to go!
Your technique is very unique. I have told several friends about our Coaching. Thanks for everything!"

"Without exception, there were noticeable, positive results."
"In working with the WaveMaker on my golf game, I improved my scores significantly. I went from playing in the mid 70’s to low 80’s, to playing in the low to high 70’s, so I took off 2 – 3 strokes. That is big! I improved my putting, and reduced negative thinking on the course.
I have also worked with 4 other clients who improved their weak areas – the drive, short game, and putting. Their intentions were about the mental aspects such as focus, confidence, decisions, relax, have fun, enjoy, etc. Some were about the physical or mechanical aspects like making the right move(s), good timing, swing speed, etc. Other intentions were about results, make a lot of putts, pars, birdies, hit fairways, etc. One client after his next round wanted to buy 10 Wave Makers! Without exception, there were noticeable, positive results.
Another client while was one of the better players on her tennis team, consistently had some of the lowest scores. Her problems primarily showed up in competition. She couldn’t hit a lob in a match, so she never used it yet she could do it perfectly in practice. She was always distracted and looking at other courts and couldn’t concentrate on what she was doing. When the ball would come to her, she would semi-panic or flinch, and just try to get it back. In this way, she couldn't apply any strategy as to where it would be best to hit it; even though in practice she did drills very well – she forgot it all when playing a match. After working on these issues, she was able to clear all of her deficiencies, which of course made her ecstatic. (see her comments below)
It’s so rewarding to use the WaveMaker with athletics because it is so measurable and satisfying."

"the results were truly amazing..."
"My difficulties in tennis were an inability to focus, trouble remembering strategy, and having the confidence to use the proper shot at the proper time. After using the WaveMaker, my focus was immediately far superior to what it had ever been.
My mind felt clearer and I could remember the proper strategy and I was able to implement the proper shot when it was needed. I could execute any shot with confidence and no inner resistance. I felt the results were truly amazing and they have continued for months!
My coach and teammates have noticed an unbelievable difference in my game, and have asked me on countless occasions, what miracle has taken place!"

"He was never intimidated..."
"One of the things my son did before his first Karate tournament was practice his moves (in his mind) while on the WaveMaker.
While competing he was very focused and when he had to perform again because he was tied for 1st place, he was able to concentrate and do it better than the initial performance. I could see that he was in the zone...yelling louder and making his moves very precise and clean.
He won first place on that competition against more than 15 kids. I am attaching a picture of my son on the podium, I just feel the picture says it all. He was the smallest and shortest in that competition...well, in all competitions. ;-) But, he was never intimidated by this while competing, even when he had to compete side by side with the other boy tied for first. His height had been a big issue for him. It was such an amazing moment for me and it has made such a big difference in so many ways. For example, he has not mentioned he is bothered by how short he is the way he used to."

"My dreams of being a golf professional are rekindled..."
"I used to golf every year since I was a child, but I only went once in the last three years. People, even PGA members used to see me swing and when they found out my score, would say they thought I should have better scores with such a nice swing.
Father's Day this year...played 9 holes...was very rusty and it felt like I was starting from scratch (no pun intended!) I noticed that I felt very calm and peaceful about almost every shot. I hit the ball very well for being so rusty and my score ended being about 10 strokes less than the usual on 9 holes!!!
I had no idea how much my conditioning was affecting my game and since I didn't think I had any anxiety, I didn't do anything about it in the past, in fact, I thought I was in a better place mentally than most people because I didn't lose my temper like they did. Only in playing with such peace and serenity on Father's Day did I realize that I had always had anxiety before and it was so poisonous to my game.
My dreams of being a golf professional are now rekindled and I have so many tools now, between the WaveMaker, HD, and the Pure Awareness Techniques, that I can have fun without being hooked into any of it!"
