Core Textbook for Mental Golf Certification Training
This book is the core textbook for the Mental Golf Coach Certification training program offered at ronmanngolf.com. It is recommended and endorsed by the United States Golf Teachers Federation. This textbook is also being used as the core material for the Coaching Certification Course offered by the Chinese Division of the United States Golf Teachers Federation. You can now get this textbook without taking the certification course and at a fraction of the cost! This is professional information that is unknown to the general public. It is now available to you. Whether you are a coach or a parent, this book will give you great insights and tools to enhance the mental game of golf, or any sport.
I have worked with golfers and parents of all ages. I am a certified GolfPsych Instructor and trained as a clinical psychologist and Yoga Instructor. I am an accomplished golfer and know the game. It takes a number of hours of direct coaching with me to learn the information I have presented in this textbook. You could easily spend over a $1,000.00 dollars of coaching time with me. Most people do not have the money to learn all that is in this book.
Most parents have great intentions and are 100% committed to helping their kids play better golf. However, they do not have the training and information to help them with the most important part of the game: Mental Strength and Self-Mastery. This textbook provides in-depth and down-to-earth information and techniques about the mental game. Parents and coaches can get this information at a fraction of the cost through this textbook. This information is great to coach golfers of all ages, but it does have a specialized focus on working with younger players.
The Certification Course, which costs $450.00 consists in two forms: (1) an online series of twenty-five videos totally 8.5 hours. Auditory learners really like listening to the video presentations. (2) This textbook edition of the video course. It is the same information, but in printed form. Visual learners prefer this way of learning.
This textbook is now available as a full color “Print on Demand” paperback from Amazon.com and CreateSpace, a digital iBook on the Apple store, a Kindle digital book, and an interactive PDF book. This Textbook is now available as a separate purchase apart from the certification training course which costs $450.00. If you decide to proceed further with your learning and take the Certification Course, the cost of this textbook, $99.95, will be applied to your course fee. If you don’t want or need the certification, this is a great way to get the information and save a lot of money. The digital versions only cost $79.95.

“This is a must read for anyone wanting to enhance his or her coaching skills for the mental game of golf. It is comprehensive and goes deep into the issues that create mental toughness in competition. I plan to use this material in our mental golf coaching certification courses here in China.”
“My favorite chapter, Chapter 9. Yogic Breathing. A perfect breath exercise that allows you to step into the Peak Performance Focus Zone and smack that ball to the flag effortlessly. Ron’s work is deep and wide. I think this online certification is a must for any age golfer who wants to use a more holistic approach to create a winning golf game.”
“Great tools and techniques which will result in greater performances. Will recommend to any age group golfers to help improve their game of golf.”
“This series of training film is designed to take you to the next level. Dr Ron Mann has a strong reputation for taking your game to another level. Over the years he has helped people at all levels to understand not just the physical fundamentals of the game of golf but also the all important mental approach to the game. His scientific approach allows you to break down the components of the game before you participate. Every serious golfer must secure this program and the results will be amazing. Learn from one of the best in the business, Dr. Ron Mann.”
“Dr. Ron Mann’s enlightened research and views have provided me with the tools and techniques that have guided me in a direction of self-exploration and self-management; resulting in greater performance in the extreme pressure of competition.”
“Dr. Mann was a huge part of our success, and has been a great educator for the team and for me as a coach. I am thrilled to report that with Dr. Mann’s help, our team, which had not qualified for the National Championship since 1977, not only qualified, but also finished in 5th place. I would recommend him to any golfer that wants to explore some of the deeper mental aspects of golf in hopes to lower their score.”
“Very impressive, cutting edge, informative and insightful! Your line of thinking is right in line with my views and I plan on being more definitive in my teaching the team now that your book is a resource.”
“One of the most daunting tasks for a golf instructor is to teach the student to stay in the present. Amateur golfers constantly berate themselves for a poor last shot or mentally project what they believe they will score for the day. Dr. Mann supplies excellent techniques to help the golfer with both concentration and the ability to live in the present. I urge all my students to read and practice the techniques clearly taught by Dr. Mann.”
