Gio Valiante - Fearless Golf - Conquering The Mental Game

In watching the golf channel, I am interested in learning more about Gio Valiante teachings. Does he have a book out that is available for purchase?

Gio Valiante does have a book out called Fearless Golf - Conquering The Mental Game. Dr. Gio Valiante's book is in hardback. Gio Valante's background includes being a pioneering sports psychologist, studing the sources of an athlete's fear, investigating the physiological impact of fear on performance and developing a groundbreaking program for conquering it. In his book Fearless Golf, Valiante explains how fear plays havoc with physical motion and presents specific ways that you can break free of its grasp and shoot your lowest scores. Realizing the need to replace a fixation-on-results with a commitment to mastery of oneself and one's mind, your approach will not only help you reach your true potential, in addition, it will make playing every round fun again.

Jim McLean - Eight Step Swing

I have been reading books from Jim McLean. What is your take on his eight step swing theory?

I like what Jim McLean has to say. One reason is that teaches you to go in to zones as opposed to VERY specific positions. Not all of us are built the same way thus, it gives everyone the freedom to use their swing and not a "canned" golf swing. As I have watched him many times on TV as well as listening to different presentations that he has given, he seems to make it easy to understand.
