TIRED OF X's HERE & THERE? Here’s a simple lesson I’ve learned while teaching. It’s not the new methods that make student improvement harder…it’s letting go of what he/she believes. Especially when that swing is breaking some targets. Why change?That’s a great question, which is answered in depth in my new book, Beyond The Target (Book III).
