Hi, I'm Tracy Reed, and if you google the words "Tracy Reed Golf," you'll see that I am already known throughout the world as a Golf Biomechanic and Mental Training Coach who gets extremely fast and lasting results with the golfers I teach...
But that's only part of the story...

What you may not know is that during my research to discover the true secret of the golf swing and through my training and experience as a Military Interrogator, I also discovered some very powerful tools that I use to help local business clients drastically accelerate their productivity in their business and personal lives...
It always happens during chance conversations during golf instruction, a social outing, or by a referral...
Someone asks what I do, and after explaining how I teach golfers advanced visualization/problem solving and focus techniques to master the game of golf, they ask if I can coach them on how to use the same visualization/problem solving techniques that I use in golf to help them with Sales and Marketing, Business Problem Solving, and personal productivity. Well, word gets around and now I have what I call my "business by request."
What if I can't visualize things?
Actually you can but because most people take this process for granted, they don't realize they are doing it. When they try to "make it happen", they actually block the process out of their mind. Visualization is how the subconscious mind processes all of the information it stores or uses. It is how the mind communicates with the body.
I have found that using the mind and body together, visualization can be taught so that the process can be carried over to other areas.
More than just getting organized...
You can be the most organized person in the world, but if you can't get through your "To Do List", organization won't help. There's always the option of delegation... but certain tasks can't be delegated... You have to simply plow through them, but it doesn't have to be a labor intensive or stressful process.
What I discovered is that the same visual/mental mind training techniques produce extremely fast problem solving skills that my clients now use in business and everyday life. The faster you solve problems, the greater your productivity.
Think about it... What do you do that doesn't in some way solve a problem? You see, that's all humans do. They think about their problems and try to solve them. (I apologize if I gave away the secret of life there...)
Because of the drastic results my clients experience from learning these techniques, I decided that I should make this service available to people who see the value in it, but just can't find good help with it.
Further mental training adds to the power of the coaching...
I am a veteran of Desert Storm, having served as an Interrogator during the war. While I was serving, I had no idea of how I would use the Interrogation training as a civilian until I returned to civilian life and realized just how powerful the training was...
Interrogation in simple terms is the psychology of "pushing emotional buttons to elicite a response"
What I realized was that people do this to themselves every day without realizing it and it hurts them by slowing down progress and interfering emotionally with what they are trying to accomplish.
When I started teaching others how to recognize and gain control over these damaging thoughts, I started seeing improvement in them... In many cases, the improvement was a drastic turn-around.
The simple secret of personal success...
During my personal 20 year quest to find golf's holy grail, I uncovered a unique mind/body phenomenon that has since opened up the sport of golf. This phenomenon is the use of the body's internal dynamic balance feedback to accurately control body movement while freeing up the golf swing and adding more power and accuracy to the swing. It's a mouthful, but it shortens the learning curve for golfers and allows them to improve with less stress and less practice.
The secret behind this phenomenon is the use of visualization to control the process. Once I realized what I had found, I started applying this secret to different aspects of my life and my life started changing for the better. Now my services are in such high demand that I'm thinking about hiring a personal assistant just to help me stay on schedule.
The visualization techniques used in my golf instruction proved to be a super fast way of solving problems in any area of life. Now I teach others so they can have the same success with their lives and businesses.
And here's why visualization is so powerful. Solving problems using a normal linear conscious thought process is slow and stressful, but when using visualization, the process happens 10 to 100 times faster depending on the complexity of the problem. If you've ever seen a TV show where they portray a persons thoughts rushing by in pictures, that portrayal is very similar to what really happens in real life using advanced visualization.
Here's the paradox of the whole situation: My research into the golf swing accomplished two goals. I solved my problem with golf, and I perfected my problem solving process.
I had to really sharpen my problem solving process because the secret I discovered (how to create and use visualization to accurately control body movement) was buried under layers of camoflauge. Without the ability to use visualization to find this secret, I would have never understood what I found once I found it.
A typical situation...
Have you ever been in a situation, either business or personal, where you said something that offended someone else and never realized it? Often this happens because you are thinking consciously, trying to keep up with the situation, but also trying to keep certain ideas in your mind. The problem is that consciously, your mind has to choose between one or the other, because the conscious mind thinks in a serial manner, one thought or idea at a time, so keeping up with more than one train of thought can't happen consciously.
Using visualization, your mind can follow much more that one idea. It can follow the conversation, keep your ideas in your mind, listen to a conversation in the background and keep an eye on events around you. With visualization, you are emotionally locked into each situation because you can monitor your own statements from an outside point of view and instantly feel the emotions you are touching in the conversation... No more stepping on toes inadvertantly or saying anything you'll regret.
Capturing an audience...
Have you ever been stuck in a conversation that was drier than burnt toast? Have you ever felt that maybe you were doing the same to others? There's a good reason why conversation can often be boring. It goes back to human existence and problems. If you think about conversations that were boring to you, usually, you had no interest in the subject matter and the person speaking did nothing to relate the subject to the problems or concerns that other people in the conversation might have.
To be a great conversationalist... You merely need to relate to peoples problems or concerns!
Problem Solving, getting down to core...
Visualization is the fastest method of identifying and solving core problems. The key word is "core." It is important because in every area where I coach, the biggest issue I uncover is that the people in the industry are missing the real issues that drive their business or profession.
For example: As a golf coach, so much emphasis is placed on the golf swing; specifically, which is the right golf swing. Because of this trend, there is a "Golf Instruction Industry" showing golfers a multitude of different "types" of golf swings. If one doesn't work, the golfer can purchase information on another type of swing and start over. This type of thinking has golfers spending thousands of dollars every year to improve, which is good for the industry, but bad for golfers.
I show golfers how to use Dynamic Balance Feedback plus awareness visualization to discover their own personal perfect golf swing in under 1 hour. As a result, I have taught over 6500 golfers in 37 countries how to use their mind to free up their golf game and lower scores with less stress and less practice through my Golf Swing Control Training Program which has now changed into The Ultimate Golf System. For advanced golfers this process creates an uncanny accuracy and consistency that few golfers believe until they have experienced it.
As a mental training coach, I find that people are overly worried about their thoughts and how to change them. The real issue?... It's not WHAT you are thinking, but rather YOUR AWARENESS of what and how you are thinking that makes the biggest gains when it comes to mental coaching.
NLP coaching... Or is there a better way?
Have you ever heard of NLP (Neuro-linguistic programming)? There is a whole industry based on coaching people to help them change their thoughts. What these practitioners do is find the core problem and make their client aware of the problem. Then they give them a plan to change the problem and therefore the thought that is causing the problems. In essense, the two parts of NLP are problem solving and awareness.
But the key that makes NLP work is awareness. Once you are aware of your core problems, you can change your life. How do they do it? By stimulating your visual senses to recall and use parts of your life in a more positive manner... Visualization.
Using the visualization process as a faster method of solving problems and increasing your awareness of other potential problems reduces stress and frees you from being a slave or a victim of your own thoughts by giving you the ultimate control of both mind and body.
Sales and Marketing - Like it or not, modern sales and marketing methodology has wandered far off course. Following current industry marketing standards costs big money with little to no results. Marketing is a tool, and just like anything else you purchase for your business, it should pay for itself. Yes, marketing can have a postive ROI. I give my clients a deep understanding of customer psychology and why they buy or don't buy certain products, even when they truly have a need. Once my clients realize the true core of why customers purchase anything, they realize that the road to higher sales is not selling, but rather helping people solve their everyday problems. This process takes away the stress of sales and increases customer trust, loyalty, and long term sales.
Business Coaching - Once you understand sales, the elements of business fall right in line as well. Too many businesses get caught up in the business of being "in business" and forget why their business was started in the first place. You often see corporations who get caught up in cutting costs and making money. They change their CEO, cut out middle management and jetison slow performing lines in order to be more lean. Those businesses often go into a steeper slide because along the way, they forgot about the customer's problem and the custmer found someone else who cared more about helping them. I help my clients simplify business goals to reflect their understanding of the customer's needs and align their companies toward attaining those goals. Once my clients can become refocused on the reason for their business's existence, the business follows its natural course and grows much faster than predicted.
As a Motivational Speaker, I show people how to refocus on the important aspects of life. I show them how to set priorities and make good decisions that will increase meaningful productivity and move their lives closer to realizing their dreams.
If you are looking for help in any of these areas and you have found out, like many of my clients, that the mainstream ideas are just money making tactics designed to drag on forever and drain your wallet, give me a call at 904-803-6116 and see if my approach may be able to help you with your situation.
You'll be glad you called...
PS: Please remember that I am already very busy, so I urge you to call if you are serious about taking your life to the next level... And this isn't personal, but I no longer have the free time for long leisurely chats with "tire kickers." I appreciate your understanding about this.
