Book Description

March 13, 2008

Few athletes in any sport have captured our imagination like Tiger Woods. His endless supply of highlight-reel shots and consistent domination of professional golf leave many of us wondering how he does it. Natural talent and a healthy killer instinct are merely the tip of the iceberg for what makes the world's greatest athlete tick. Tiger's unique personality attributes and competitive disposition set him apart from the pack. He is committed to something beyond merely winning; he's committed to the pursuit of personal excellence, and he loves all aspects of it. To truly appreciate and benefit from Tiger's example, look beyond the towering drives and fist-pumping clutch putts: How Tiger Does It goes deeper than any other volume on Tiger to unearth his personality and behavior attributes, showing you how to apply them to your own life. After reading this book, you will be able to

  • Adopt a relaxed, fearless approach to competition so you can enter the zone at will
  • Achieve peak performance and avoid choking in pressure-filled competitive situations
  • Create life circumstances that promote complete focus, efficient time management, and optimum stress/rest balance
  • Make work feel like play to realize the highest expression of your talents
  • Achieve physical, mental, and emotional balance, maintaining a healthy perspective and positive attitude--win or lose

You'll learn to model Tiger through three success factors--focus, a work-play ethic, and a balanced approach--in the process banishing self-limiting beliefs, balancing killer instinct with a fearless competitive disposition, and objectively evaluating your own performance, regardless of your chosen endeavor. Golfers and nongolfers alike will enjoy an entertaining blend of Tiger anecdotes from his peers on the PGA Tour and respected observers in the media, pointed insights from a rare author who brings a world-class athletic background to his prose, and instructions on putting everything together to create your own success plan.

Editorial Reviews

From the Back Cover

Pump up your performance--in any sport, any business, and in any arena

Tiger Woods has become the greatest champion in the history of sport, transcending golf to become a worldwide icon for athletic excellence, competitive intensity, and the destruction of dated cultural barriers and traditions. Even people who don't play golf know Tiger. We are fortunate to experience his era firsthand and can apply Tiger's attitude, focus, and character attributes to boost our performance in any situation--on the job, in the classroom, and, yes, even on the golf course.

Author Brad Kearns, whose How Lance Does It revealed the success formula of the great Tour de France legend, delivers a heavily researched, life-altering analysis of what Tiger Woods does to achieve--and maintain--peak performance not only in golf but in everything he does.

"Brad Kearns has a refreshing perspective on peak performance that he captures eloquently in his writing. While being intensely competitive and focused on winning is great, Kearns reminds us that our greatest rewards come when we are motivated by pure love of the experience."
--Lance Armstrong

More About the Author

My interesting personal attributes are too numerous and complex to mention in this small corner. Plus there are too many "toot their own horners". Especially with the internet, it's hard to separate fiction from fact. Everyone's an expert, even if they lack tact.

1.0 out of 5 stars VERY misleading, March 21, 2010
This review is from: How Tiger Does It (Hardcover)
I bought this book because I've heard so much about Tiger Woods and I wanted the words straight from him. BUYER BEWARE! Although you might believe you know what you're purchasing, I was very upset to find that nowhere in this book did I learn "How Tiger Does It". I thought perhaps all the motivational speech in the beginning was buildup to the sexual explosion which was bound to occur, but there was no such delivery. I believe this book is attempting to sell subpar material on the coattails of this recent news.

Let it be known: if you want to know how Tiger does it you'll need to read the sext message transcript.

5.0 out of 5 stars Buy it! Read it! Live it!, July 25, 2008
This review is from: How Tiger Does It (Hardcover)
While this book centers around Tiger Woods and is filled with interesting facts about his career and success, the focus is about achieving a life balance and focusing on your own success--not the prize. Easy to read with a relaxed prose, the author is clearly in his "zone." Buy it and be encouraged in your own life.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome read - Highly recommend, April 8, 2008
This review is from: How Tiger Does It (Hardcover)
This book was an interesting departure from the many other Tiger books that are biographical based. I really enjoyed the practical tips at the end of each chapter that I could implement into my own life using Tiger's example. As Tiger continues to dominate golf, the important questions and comments in the book will arouse more and more interest. I agree with the author's premise that he is the greatest athlete of all time, and offers tremendously valuable lessons for all of us in daily life.
