She was the inaugural recipient of the Nancy Lopez Golf Achievement Award. Debbie was the LPGA National Professional of the Year in 2002. Not only that, but she has a fantastic website called golfpositive.com. On top of all those achievements, she is also a motivational speaker and helps with corporate outings.

IN THIS PODCAST EPISODE YOU WILL LEARN:

  • You don’t always have to make that “hero” swing.

  • It’s not a failure if you learn something.

  • Debbie’s favorite quote/mantra: “The Optimist: Someone who figures that taking a step backwards after taking a step forward is not a disaster, it’s a cha-cha.”

  • That Debbie’s specialty is to help people get out of their own way.

  • The importance of getting your body in the best possible position and have your muscles prepared to swing.

  • How to get the right tension level by squeezing all of your muscles when you breathe in, then blow out and let the muscles go and relax.

  • Always be yourself, all the time.

  • If you’re in a slump, go right out to the course and hit those shots you have trouble with in a non competitive environment.

  • Debbie’s book recommendation: “Every Shot Must Have a Purpose”

  • If you stand like a superhero, your testosterone hormone goes up-your confidence goes up-if you stand like that for two-minutes a day, it will make a difference.
