ness, Lonetto bases his advice on his work with athletes â€" both professional and amateur â€" over a 12â€"year period. During that time, he discovered a pattern used in sports activities that could also be carried over into business life â€" a pattern that allows athletes to control their tension and anxiety and to perform at a consistently high level. To discover the rhythm, Lonetto had dozens of athletes hooked up to heart monitors and muscleâ€"poâ€" tential monitors to determine their physical reâ€" sponses while doing sporting activities Golfers, skaters, football. hockey. baseball and basketball Although many executives do not handle stressful situations in this manner, University of Guelph psychology professor Richard Lonetto says exercises like this one enable people to get into the right rhythm before making decisions, and virtually ensure success. Author of a new book, The Rhythm: Being Your Best in Sport and Busiâ€" needing to make an import@gnt and potentially stressfu! decision, puts the papers in question down on his desk, firmly shuts the office door, glances around the room to make sure no one is watching, takes out a putter and golf ball and concentrates on that elusive line to the hole. Mentally preparing for the stroke, the executive‘s face shows determination and concentration. A moment of quiet ensues and then, in a burst of controlled energy, the putter strikes the ball and the ball dances into the cup. The executive sits down at the desk, rereads the crucial material, concentrates for a moment, takes a deep breath and makes the decision. There is no stress before the decision; there will be no regrets It Guelph psych prof has the ‘"Rhythm" needed to be a success For Men & Women 579â€"8700 777 Weber St. E.

Phase 1 is a period of preparation in which the individual‘s heart rate is moderately high and begins to slow down. During Phase 2, a period of stiliness and decisiveness, the heart rate drops further until it reaches a low ebb. As it picks up again, Phase 3 takes over and an individual is charged with such excitement that he or she propels into action. ‘"By using your favorite sport to learn how to do these things, you can then take it back to work with you," Lonetto says. Lonetto‘s idea is that almost everyone can feel their rhythm at work when playing sports, but must learn how to plug it in while making important corporate or family deciâ€" sions or when doing tasks around the home. ‘"‘You need a ritual to calm yourself, to get in control," he says. That might mean taking a golf club to work or practising your tennis swing before hiring a new secretary simply to help get your Trhythm established. In addition to the improved work or sport performance, the rhythm is fun, says Lonetto. ‘"You really can have a good time with it. It‘s a very old concept that work and play strengthen each other. There is nothing like learning about yourself in a way that is both challenging and enjoyable. When people try it, they love it," he says. Tom Treblehorn. manager of the Milwaukee Brewers‘ Baseball Club, said of Lonetto‘s book "The Rhythm gives you a process that includes preparaâ€" tion. practice and application to any activity, and any level of expertise. It is an amazing approach for establishing consistent patterns that translate into consistent performance It presents a plan that really makes sense " Today! buted to his data.
