“I was interested in Jayne’s book Breathe GOLF and it’s applications for both golf and music. The book is extremely vivid, practical, and is in itself its own practice. I find this book applicable to all areas of life, not just golf, but golf is a fantastic lens to get the ideas presented across. I am a couple of chapters into my 7th read!”.
What is Chi Performance?
Deep Practice for High Performance Sports
At Chi Performance, we teach you a simple, proven and trusted Performance Practice to help you release complex sporting motion like the golf swing, tennis serve and jump shot, in a way that is natural, effortless and spontaneous.
Our philosophy and training draws upon centuries-old disciplines of the mind-body connection – often called deep practice – helping you attain freedom, and spontaneity of movement, particularly in high-pressure situations like sports tournaments and competitions.
The perfect shot, ball-striking, and movement routine are always described in terms similar to Eastern philosophy and practice, i.e., connected, effortless, spontaneous and without thought. Further explorations of this phenomena, sometimes referred to as the zone or flow, denote an ideal performance state that is shared by amateur and professionals alike. It is entirely dependent upon a quiet mind and a simple, clear intention to which the body can intuitively and instinctively respond.
The natural way to release your movement skills is not to be found in overly working and reworking your technique, nor in psychological and mental game interventions. As useful as these things are for your overall development as an athlete or performer, they can do little to ensure fluidity of movement when the pressure’s on.
We only have to look again at what’s been said about the perfect shot or routine; every single person when questioned about this phenomenon describes it as natural, effortless and spontaneous and this ideal state can be trained with the unique Performance Practice offered by Jayne Storey and her team of accredited coaches.
