Whats that young man doing? asked a ESPN commentator as he watched his monitor. Along with an audience of millions, the commentator was a young baseball player, Jorge Reyes, tapping acupressure points in the dugout during a 2006 Jorge Reyes became a star athlete and helped his Oregon State University win the national college championship. He was named Most Valuable Player. Still tapping, the team won the championship a second time the following year, an unprecedented event. Dan Spencer was the pitching coach for the team, and brought in EFT practitioner Greg Warburton to train them. After these victories Dan was named Pitching Coach of the Year by Collegiate Baseball Magazine. He said, The methods helped them keep their heads out of the way so that their bodies could do what I had trained them to do.

During the Four Nations Rugby Cup in Europe, the perpetual last place finisher Italy suddenly surged in 2012, and came within one goal of winning the cup. The cameras captured the entire team tapping as they ran out of the locker room at half time. EFT tapping can be found in virtually very sport. Olympic wrestlers are using it. Professional baseballers are tapping. Its invaded the National Football League and National Hockey League. Some of the surprising turnrounds you read about in the sports pages are due to an athlete learning to tap.

In a feature story, Golfweek magazine said, this tapping revolution is occurring within the ranks of very serious golfers. The magazine described the work of tapping coach Stacey Vornbrock, and quoted several prominent golfers whove improved after tapping.

Greg Warburton is a noted sports performance mental training consultant in the EFT world who only teaches methods that he personally uses and know work well for most people. In 2013, he decided to compete in a fundraising event, even though he hadnt played a round of golf in over a year. Though he plays infrequently, he knows he can still consistently play with a relaxed body and calm mind. On the day of the competition, he began by doing EFT for nerves as one aspect of his mental-training preparation. Then, after achieving a relaxed body and calm mind, Greg then shifted his mental focus to exactly how he wanted to play: club head square to the ball and straight up through with my swing for all golf strokes today. Greg did EFT occasionally during the round of golf, especially whenever he noticed nervousness and doubt about a shot.

As a recreational golfer, Greg typically plays only bogey golf. However, for this 18-hole game, Greg sank three 10 -15 foot birdie putts to help his team in the 5-man best ball 18-hole competition and consistently hit the golf ball to target throughout his round of golf. Even knowing the immediate usefulness of EFT for consistent sport performance under the pressure of competition, he was pleasantly surprised with his performance in the first 18 holes of golf he had played in over a year.
