BUILDING CHAMPIONS:
A GUIDE FOR PARENTS OF JUNIOR GOLFERS

Must reading for all parents of junior golfers

Several years ago the father of one of my junior clients, said "There is no simple advice or guidelines available for parents whose children play golf competitively." He had asked me for advice on how to encourage his son without being overbearing. "At junior tournaments," he said, "I've noticed some parents are far more involved in their kids golf than others. He wanted to find the right balance so his son would have fun with golf while still wanting to play his best. He suggested I write this book. My experience working with juniors as young as 5 to touring professionals has taught me that parenting has a huge impact on both short term and long term success. As you read this book you will learn what works and what has the potential to backfire-what builds champions and what often produces undesirable results.

"My suggestion and the bias of this book is that your number one priority as a parent is to build a champion human being. In this arena no competition is involved. Every child is born with championship potential. For golfers, the trophies, scholarships and tour card will be seen as just welcome bonuses."

THE MENTAL GAME AND LIFE SKILLS FOR JUNIORS
(see below for details) 

I have also modified some of the mental skills techniques I use to train serious golfers and professionals. Basic mental and life skills train the juniors while the book trains the parents. This is a powerful combination of tools that are useful in every area of life.

Dr Epstein- Shepherd is striving to assist junior golfers and their parents achieve their best while maintaining the quality of their relationships and lives. I know this excellent book will help in this endeavor. 
Dr. Ian Tofler, Author of Keeping Your Kids Out Front Without Kicking Them From Behind 

As a professional, I can teach the skills essential to play championship golf, but young people need more than skills. They need support and encouragement from their parents to develop their full potential. Dr. Bee's valuable book gives parents insights and ideas that will help them make the best choices for their children.
