Dr. Denise McGuire has done an exceptional job with our son. His hockey background helped him with regard to being competitive, but he needed a different mindset for golf. She helped him program his mind to stay in the present and keep his composure throughout a round. We also saw his confidence and focus take off through him trusting in all the teaching and guidance she has provided to him as junior golfer. He is now beginning his next steps toward Collegiate Division I golf. Many Thanks!

Dr. Denise has been invaluable for the competitive development of our son. She was extremely helpful in assisting him regain his confidence and mental focus following a physical problem that was followed by poor play and a lack of confidence. By using the tools and techniques that Dr. Denise has developed, and through hard work, he was able to rebound from his slump with confidence and have a great final year of his junior career by becoming a highly ranked local and national player.

Dr. D has helped my daughter become aware of how her emotions can affect her game. She deals with everything from pre- and post-shot routines to improving team dynamics. She goes above and beyond the scheduled sessions through constant communication with my daughter and with me. I have noticed a major improvement in my daughter’s composure and attitude during tournaments and after. It has made the whole experience of competitive golf more enjoyable for her and for me!

Having spent nearly ten years running junior events I am convinced that the number one priority for our players should be the mental side of the game. Dr. McGuire has made tremendous inroads with the Colorado Junior Golf community and is a true asset to our players. By helping our players get control of their thoughts and actions she has single handedly improved our quality of play. I have personally witnessed Dr. McGuire’s techniques work both on the golf course as well as in other athletic endeavors. In my opinion, Dr. McGuire is second to none!

Prior to visiting Denise, our daughter seemed to have mastered many of golf’s fundamentals yet still faced scoring challenges in high pressure tournament play. Sometimes her scoring was inhibited by negative thoughts and other times she wouldn’t be able to recover from a “blow up” hole.

After investing quality time with Dr. Denise, our daughter has been able to deal more effectively with distractions and negative thoughts and has developed emotional management tools to help her play more consistently under pressure. In fact, in a pressure intensive large national tournament, attended by the coaches from all three of her top choice Division I schools, she fired her all time personal best (at the time) and received offers from two of the three schools on the spot.

My daughter started working with Denise McGuire of Get in the Zone during the winter of her junior year. When we made a visit to a college coach in the spring, he stated that the mental game is the most important aspect of golf. The fact that she had already addressed this part of her game was extremely impressive to him. Not only was this important in her search for the right school, but she was also better prepared for the state tournament later that year. It made a big difference in how she was able to handle the pressure and keep her composure during the highs and lows throughout such a significant round of golf.

Denise has been a true savior for my son. Prior to seeing Denise, he felt that he had to win every tournament he entered and this created undue pressure on him. There was a definite improvement for him in just the first three sessions with her. He has completed 20 sessions over the past 10 months. He is now a totally different golfer, being more mature, having total confidence and knowing what he has to accomplish in a tournament.
