Could you tell us a little bit about yourself?
I'm a teacher of The Alexander
Technique, the world-renown movement
system, and have been interested in playing and
watching sports for as long
as I can remember. I started writing around ten
years ago and have to date
written three books about the technique for sports
people.
Describe
your book in 30 words or less.
Golf Sense is a different approach to
help golfers play more consistent
golf by getting into the state athletes call The
Zone. It's not about
technique, it's about focus.
What was
the hardest part of writing your book?
Getting started. Once I've been able to
draw up a plan and determine the
objectives of the book I'm able to start writing.
The other hard part I find
is to think of a title. I always assume it will
become obvious when I'm
writing but it never happens. I didn't think of
'Golf Sense' until writing
the very last paragraph when suddenly it leapt out
of the page.
What books
have had the greatest influence on you?
'The Use of The Self' by F.M. Alexander
- his journey of self-discovery
is fascinating. Why Die?: The Extraordinary Percy
Cerutty 'maker of
Champions' by Graem Sims, a brilliant account of
the maverick running coach
who was too far ahead of his time. And 'Lord of
The Rings' by JRR Tolkein, I
read it first when I was fourteen and it taught me
never to give up :0) Also
enjoyed the films.
Briefly
share with us what you do to market your book?
I experiment with Twitter, have a
website and also sent off copies to
golf magazines, websites and golf bloggers. And of
course your site which is
a novel approach to marketing. It's not a strengh
I must admit and am always willing to learn and take advice.
How do you
spend your time when you are not writing?
I teach The Alexander Technique to
athletes, golfers and anyone who is
willing to find out more about their own bodies to
their benefit. I love to
run, play with my children, eat out with the
family walk the dog and read.
