"I started doing Brain Gym because I had reached a frustrating plateau in my golf game: I couldn't break past my 18 handicap. What I needed was to improve my basic level of physical co-ordination, which is exactly what Brain Gym helped me to accomplish. Within six months, I had won my first four trophies and my handicap was down to 10.
Paul Curlee, M.D., Grand Junction, Colorado"You simply perform better without interference at the conscious level. This is a very elegant route to improved play. I recommend the process to all individuals interested in improved, more satisfying performance."
Chuck Hogan, professional golf instructor, Sports Performance, Inc., Phoenix, ArizonaPerforming and Singing
"Until I experienced Brain Gym, I just couldn't learn to carry a tune. It took a single Brain Gym session for me to finally sing in public without hurting people's ears."

I had been searching for some time to find my own special talent when I took the Brain Gym class. As part of the course, we did some activities to stimulate writing. One week later, I started writing a novel ... and couldn't stop. I wrote day and night and finished my first draft in three weeks."
