Attention and Golf

Theory of Attentional and Interpersonal Style

Unlike many other programs, Positive Course is based upon a scientifically documented theory of the relationship between a person’s attentional and interpersonal styles and their performance.

The theory, developed and documented over the past 30 years, identifies the key to performance - the ability to appropriately focus attention at the moment of truth.

The Theory of Attentional and Interpersonal Style (TAIS) describes 4 attentional capacities or channels:

1. Broad External Attention, or Awareness (Awareness of the environment and the ability to react quickly)
   
   
2. Broad Internal Attention, or Analysis (Analytical skill, the ability to problem solve and plan)
   
   
3. Narrow Internal Attention, or Rehearsal (Mental visualization and internal practice)
   
   
4. Narrow External Attention, or Action (Focused concentration and follow through).
   
   

It is important to know that everyone has the capacity to utilize all four, fairly regularly and easily.

The key to optimal performance is the ability to add the trainable capacity for focused attention to the inherent/acquired capacities of skills and motivation.
