Pro Mental Coach Reports 2.5 Stroke Per Round Reduction From Player Testing Conducted at PGA Center for Golf Learning and Performance


January 2, 2012. Brain Center International (BCI) announces the latest six-week field-training of its Pro Mental Coach - golf's first and only mental coaching software designed to help players master the game, play smarter and lower scores - has shown players of all abilities improve scoring by an average of 2.5 strokes per round.

Conducted at the PGA Center for Golf Learning and Performance in Port St. Lucie, Fla., the testing featured male and female players aged 25 to 77 with handicaps ranging from scratch to 33. With participants using Pro Mental Coach one hour per week, initial testing confirmed:

• Deeper Love of the Game - Enhanced enjoyment of the game reported by 88 percent of testers

• Overall Impact of Pro Mental Coach - 100 percent of participants recommended the program to others; 88 percent modified their mental approach as a result of training. Many provided feedback and testimonials, which can be found on the company website.

"This study confirms our internal testing and industry research that proven regular, targeted mental training strengthens the brain muscle," says Dr. Stephane Bergeron, founder of BCI. "Pro Mental Coach ingrains a new approach to enhance performance through improved focus, motivation, stress management, confidence, endurance and ability to bounce back from bad shots."
