Question 3

What are the three mental processes that dictate performance?

Answer 3

1. Conscious (C) – what you remember, think about, etc.
2. Subconscious (SC) – skill base, which due to training comes out automatically.
3. Self-Image (SI) – habits and attitudes that make you who you are. Comprises your upper and lower limits (scores, abilities, etc.) of what you believe that you can do. (i.e. I can shoot 525/600 almost anytime I want, and I’m happy when I shoot 535.) This range is your comfort zone and the trick is to move that zone upwards.
