“John’s principles encapsulate the essence of my message. Over the past 50 years of experience, I have shared the same sentiments with all my pupils. John explains what is needed simply and directly. Reading his work, I hear my own voice." Alex Mercer-  PGA Teacher of the year 2006. Coached the following golfers to majors victories: Steve Elkington– PGA Championship, Australian Open winner.

"It’s plainly obvious to a professional golfer that a great mind game is more important than any other part of the game. Over the past 6 year that I have worked with John Novak, he has expressed the importance of positive thoughts and actions on and off the golf course. He has taught me how to deal with challenges and see everything that happens as a great opportunity to improve my game and me as a person".   Neil Sarkies- PGA Golf Pro. 30 tournament victories 2001-2007.

"John’s mind game strategies have helped me to believe in myself more……….a phone call or SMS from John is enough to give the mind a boost and bring on magic golf". Justin Roach- Member of Australian Amateur Golf team 2007.

"John's 10 years of work with both amateur and Professional golfers are brilliantly condensed within this series of easy to read, use and UNDERSTAND cards. My pupils who are using them have showed an immediate improvement in their attitudes and ability to deal with emotions, both on and off the golf course. As any teacher knows, the mental approach of the person is as, or MORE, relevant to their success than any other facet of the game. Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods are 2 classic examples, from different eras, who achieved such a mind set that they were, literally, 'a cut above the rest'. I highly recommend Johns work to any golfer who is serious about taking his/her game to the next level". Ross Strachan, Head Professional, Eastlake Golf Club for 27 years. AAA PGA rated.

"Golf is such a mental game! I've heard that comment so many times from clients. Do something about it! My clientele range from touring professionals to complete beginners. John Novak's message is wonderfully simple and so relevant to the individuals attitude and process. His new deck of cards will help everybody. Thanks John for all your help, keep up the great work!" Kev Morley- PGA Coach.  

“John Novak is an integral part to my coaching success stories. He is an outstanding communicator and role model. His calmness provides security and his knowledge creates confidence. John’s sessions enlighten, educate and inspire my students to be the best they can be. Most importantly his inspiration creates a motivation that lasts long after their session has finished. The simple process John follows provides my students with an easy to understand way to become a more competitive athlete, and in turn a more complete human. I have not met another person more passionate and more giving of his time in the effort to get the best out of every person he works with”.  Christian Small-Golf Pro & coach.

"John Novak's principles give you the best chance of reaching your absolute potential in whatever sport you are associated in. Your greatness cannot be achieved I believe without the basic principles that John offers. Work these principles day in, day out, and your ultimate goals can be achieved. You’re far more than a psychologist John, more a mentor in all aspects of life. That’s the great part of you’re work because every day your faced with challenges that need to be dealt with accordingly. It is truly magnificent work which will stay with me for life. Thanks for your help realising this".  James Purcell. PGA Golf Pro.

"5 years ago I went to see John to get more out of my golf career. 5 years later he has not only taught me how to get the most out of my golf game but the most out of my life. He's given me a way to achieve all my dreams and cope with all the challenges before me. 'Everyday is a new opportunity to be at your best'. John Novak has been a great mentor and friend. Peter Welden- Australian PGA Golf Pro.

"John Novak has helped me so much with my golf and life in general. The way he teaches is amazing and easy to understand. I have been extremely lucky to find a mind manager that can help me so much and not just in my sport". Allyce Watkinson. 2007 All Schools Ladies Champion. NSW State Representative.

"When I started working with and applying John Novak’s approach to the mind game, and its application to golf, I was struggling to pass the PGA requirements as a second year trainee. Twelve months later I had more than halved my scoring average and received a State Invite to play tournaments from the NSW PGA". Alex Lewis. 3rd Year Trainee Pro.

"I have worked with John Novak for the past 2 years with great successes. Many golfers both amateur and professional lose sight of the reason why we play golf, John helped me find that. The first question he asked me was Why did I start playing golf? Because I love the challenge and it was FUN...FUN...FUN. Once I re-discovered the FUN in my game and forgot about the results and not surprisingly, the results started to flow. But working with John is more than just golf for me, John's philosophies have helped me in day to day life and now in my business life." Chris Chilton- Sales Director Ignite Golf P/L & PGA Golf Pro.
