He’d been watching me practice for a few minutes and then asked me why I didn’t pause before I took my final stroke at the ball. I explained my logic and we talked for a few minutes. Neither of us was taking the position that we were right, we were just talking about the pros and cons of several different approaches, as we understood them.

Former graduate student Shane Frehlich advised that the “quiet eye” phenomenon, i.e., shifting focus less frequently but for longer duration, was key to a player’s success.
