The Haney Project: Charles Barkley

I've been watching a bit of the Haney Project on the Golf Channel and am pretty impressed with the progress that Charles Barkley is making on his swing.  

They showed some old clips from 1994 of his swing and he had great action.  But his friend said he thought it was the tv cameras that have made him nervous and allowed his swing to get tentative and decompose.  

One of the great things about lessons is that with proper instruction, anything is possible.  And not only in golf lessons, but in educational tutoring, tennis lessons, snowboarding lessons, music lessons and all other types.  

The other great thing about lessons is that for me, as soon as I experienced even a little bit of improvement, my appetite for getting better grew and grew.  Excitement builds about getting better, smarter and more talented.

why should you take lessons?

Because we cant fix ourselves.  Most of you probably have heard of Tiger Woods. if you haven't, I am surprised you found the Internet.  But he's the best golfer in the world and he takes lessons.  

That means all of us who aren't as good as Tiger should take lessons if we want to improve on what we do.

Its something that the majority of people struggle with, accepting help, or admitting they cannot figure it out alone.  But once you get over that hump and realize lessons are a great thing, improvement is just a short time away!

In golf particularly, you can spend a lot of money in greens fees to play, but not playing well can be frustrating and make those hundreds of dollars spent feel like a waste.  Spending some money on lessons and practice can dramatically increase the pleasure of the on-course experience.

Whatever the category of sports/music/education you wish to improve, remember that lessons are a good thing and you wont be the only one taking them!
