OUTLINE 10 am Coffee & pastries* 10.30 Introduction and Session 1: Understanding Your Motivation & Confidence

Drawing on my research with some of the world’s leading professional golfers, Olympic and paralympic athletes, I show the types of ways that women are motivated and why motivation and confidence influence how you perform. I provide examples of how to eradicate bad habits, become more confident, not just of your golf, but in other areas of life as well.

12: 00 Break for two-course lunch and informal questions during lunch break* 1pm Session 2: Concentration & Attention

I show delegates how to identify problematic mental processes, and how to take more control of your body, thoughts and swing under pressure. I reveal some of the ‘tricks’ that top professional athletes employ to help them cope with pressure, anxiety and loss of concentration, show golfers of all standards how to become more focussed, how to maintain your rhythm and tempo, how to disregard irrelevant and negative thoughts. These easy to learn skills will help you become more prepared for important events, and even things like making a speech when you win the trophy!

2:30pm Questions and close Brief biography: Dr Kitrina Douglas was a member of the first winning European Solheim Cup Team, has been English Open, British Women’s Amateur Champion, twice European Masters Champion and won over a dozen events on the Ladies European Golf Tour. She gained her PhD from the University of Bristol studying Women’s Motivation was the youngest recipient of the PGA’s highest coaching award, “Master Professional.” She has carried out research for a variety of organisations including UK Sport, the Department of Health, and Women’s Sport Foundation. She has presented her research and lectured all over the world, is author of 40 peer reviewed scientific articles, “100 tips for Lady Golfers,” “Sport and physical activity for mental health” as well as the golf performance CD, From “You Can’t” to “You Can!” in 59minutes and 23 seconds. She writes a

regular column for women and golf magazine on mind and body, and is a popular after dinner and motivational speaker. Here she shares her objectives for the day: Do you wonder why you make silly mistakes on the golf course? Perhaps you’ve never been able to stay calm when you tee off in front of the club house or when you get called through a group? Maybe you are one of those golfers whose score plummets if your playing partner says something like, ‘Oh, you played really well on the front nine!’ These are just a few of the of the issues I will address during the workshop where my aim is to help you to feel more confident, focussed and be better prepared for your golf and the coming season. I draw on examples from my research, teaching and my experiences playing to show you how it is possible to climb some of the mountains you didn’t think you could climb – whatever your age, handicap or skill level.

“I have been using a lot of your tips, and the material in several of your stories highlights feelings which I had. I feel that I am a different person now - I actually use some of the techniques at work, for example, when I’m nervous taking assembly in front of all the pupils. My winter work helping my technique and your help with my mind, my golf is in a good place at the moment, Kindest Regards Libby” “Dear Kitrina, Following your workshop I shot a net 65 and got cut two shots! Thank you for helping me focus and forget the bad shots, and of course 'keep my head still' rather than down! Best wishes, Carol”
