The Big Miss

My Years Coaching Tiger Woods
Hank Haney - 2012 Crown Publishing Group

As one of the most famous athletes ever, Tiger Woods is also one of the most talked about and often over talked about athlete ever.   Although, this book is just more Tiger Woods, it is written by his former swing coach, Hank Haney, and the perspective that is offered is unique and revealing.

The book contains a lot of detail about the actual mechanics of Woods' swing but there are other details there as well.  The book is not about getting even, but a simple revelation about a man who is human and yet not like the rest of us.  The more interesting parts of the books are the accounts of Tiger's actions and attitude that are telling in the mentality it takes to be at the top.  That we do not have lives anything like Tiger's is obvious but this book confirms why.
