After an impressive start to the 2010 season, Camilo Villegas is having a huge impact on golf instruction as well. For the past few weeks, Villegas has been working with Sports Psychologist Dr. Gio Valiante on improving his mental game. Villegas’ new outlook and game plan courtesy of Valiante has professional and amateur golfers alike looking for clues that they can implement into their own games.
NBC Golf Commentator Johnny Miller noted during the broadcast last week, “Camilo has been working with Dr Gio Valiante and is now playing with an ‘attitude of gratitude’ and it’s paying off. He’s been playing well ever since.”
Many are wondering, who is Villegas’ Sports Psychologist Dr. Gio Valiante?
Dr. Gio Valiante, a professor of psychology at Rollins College , has trained the minds of the best golfers in the world. By combining research from diverse fields in performance psychology, Dr. Valiante has created a program that has had measurable results with golfers at all levels. Fearless Golf is based on the principle that golf is as much a mental game as a skills game.
“My program teaches golfers to get rid of the extra baggage that clutters their minds, which allows them to remain clear and focused on their way to playing fearless golf,” said Valiante.
Dr. Valiante and Fearless Golf have produced winners including Heath Slocum, Chad Campbell, Will Mackenzie, Vijay Singh, Justin Leonard, Davis Love III, Bryce Molder, and Matt Kuchar.
