Focusband - Interview with Grant Waite (Champions Tour)

Jason Day using the FocusBand

We have been asked numerous times, why & how did Jason Day start using the FocusBand

Here's the story

Jason was on the range doing the Trackman Combine test and came up with a score of “X”

His driver was not going where he intended it to go

As luck would have it, Henry Boulton & Jason Goldsmith from the FocusBand team were there and convinced him & Col to do a 30 minute session on the FocusBand and then try the Trackman combine again, while wearing the FocusBand.

Aha moment !

This time his score was 10% better than his previous best, after only 30 minutes on the FocusBand.

Jason’s comment was “Just imagine how good I could be if I did this for a few years”

The rest is history .... he is now number one in the world !

The FocusBand is not just for Touring Pros

We did a research study with 300 club golfers and the results were outstanding.

After two 1 hour sessions 98% of the golfers experienced the calming Mushin state which they were able to take away with them and actually use it on the golf course.

The FocusBand is now used for anxiety, stress, high blood pressure and many other ailments

3 Massive Mistakes even “PGA Tour Players” make that keep them frustrated about the “Driver “

We have a Audio recording of Henry Boulton and Jason Goldsmith,  

The FocusBand Performance Directors discussing common problems

PGA Tour players have on the tee box and the mystery ball,  what

caused these and then a simple solution you can try yourself next time

you are out on course.  

 

3 Mistakes even PGA Tour Players make with Driver

1.  Don't Commit to the shot 

2.  Intellect asks second question over the ball  

3.  Lack of Target Awareness 

#1 Doubt on the Tee box  

The voice in your head is in overdrive, trying to sabbotage your routine you

are stuck in the rut letting the left brain try and run the  show and it can't.  

Source of the problem:

-  Not committed to the shot they were trying to hit 

-  Second questions by the intellect over the ball 

Once they eliminated these problems in their shot routine   

This would free up the body and allow them to hit further and straighter

 #2 The Mystery Ball 

The ball that can literally go 2 fairways across off the tee, leaving you scratching

your head,  is it possible I completely lost all idea on how to hit a driver?  

Source of the problem:

-  Lack of awareness of the target 

-  No longer have a clear intent of what you want to do 

-  Intellect gets involved again “the oh no don't hit it left"

 

By allowing their awareness to get back on what was relevant

i.e The Target and the Ball  

The mystery ball went away, and they hit it further and straighter

We used the FocusBand to train players how to experience the

Mushin State (right brain) that helped them overcome these problems

using Audio-visual feedback during the shot routine on-course during

practice rounds.     

Simple Tip 

What you can do next time you are on the Tee box 

1.  Try asking yourself a good question when your on the Tee 

      Example   "What would I good high draw look like"

2.  Let your brain answer the question

3.  Don't answer it with language allow the visual to come to you as an image 

4.  Complete your shot routine, and see how it goes.  

Good luck for your next round of golf

Mindfulness for Students ?

Can Mindfulness help students

“Mindfulness” continues to attract a lot of buzz, with everyone from tech-savvy executives to elite & professional athletes to lawmakers saying they use it to address stress, stay calm and perform smarter on the job.

Now some educators and psychologists think schoolchildren could benefit from the practice, too.

Mindfulness is a form of meditation rooted in spiritual teaching in which people focus their full attention on the present moment. They acknowledge what they are feeling and experiencing—and accept it without judgement or criticism.

The idea is to quiet the mind and heighten awareness or Mushin as the FocusBand team have termed it

The movement is making its way into public schools across the U.S., propelled by advocates who say teaching children how to use techniques such as meditation and controlled breathing to clear their minds can help sharpen students’ focus, reduce their stress and anxiety, and boost academic performance.

Being able to validate the process, is key for students as they attempt to digest mountains of data during their study periods.

A EEG device like the FocusBand which validates this calming process and trains the student using neurofeedback is making its mark in the real world

Meditation

Research has shown,  the biological and physiological benefits of meditation.

If you suffer from physical, mental, emotional stress, or illness, this is for you. All of us at one point in time, suffer from stress, anxiety, depression, blood pressure .. you name  it.

 MORE ABOUT THE FILM...

The game of golf has different roles across the globe. We'll film in America, where the game is commercially successful; in Scotland, where ‘legend has it’ golf was conceived; in India, where golf is the preferred sport in the slums; and in Japan, where we'll  investigate the root of the Zen connection. 

Across these vastly different cultures, what about golf stays the same? Where did golf really originate? Was it philosophical or spiritual from the beginning? We're going to find out. As well, the golfers that take part in the experiment will come from these different golf hot spots, with their own unique approaches to spirituality. 

You’ll hear from a diverse and fascinating group of players like Bill Murray, Deepak Chopra, comedic actor Jeff Garlin, Sean Foley (Tiger Woods' prior swing coach), Martina Navratilova, Kenny G, Dr. Parent (author of "Zen Golf"), Michael Murphy (founder of Esalen and author of “Golf in the Kingdom”), Pete Dye (Hall of Fame golf-course architect), and way more.
