Tee Up Your Speech: Golf is Like Public Speaking

Tip #12

Breathe and

focus before

you begin.

Breathing is an excellent way to calm
yourself before performing most
activities. It helps control our nerves and
allows us reset and focus.

It's important in golf. If you get distracted or start to think negative thoughts, step away from the
ball, take a breath, and reset. You'll be amazed at how much this helps your game.

For public speaking, it's critical to remain focused. Breathing can help harness the anxiety or
adrenaline rush that you feel before you begin. Don’t rush to get started. Before you speak,
take a breath and exhale to help center yourself. Then begin your speech.
