Eric MacCluen Golf is elated to welcome Mr. Tom M. Sterner as a highly regarded mental coach to round out the talented and passionate teaching staff at Applecross Country Club in 2011.
For twenty five years, Thomas M Sterner served as the sole concert piano technician for The Grand Opera House in Wilmington, Delaware, an internationally known performance venue. During that time, he met and performed work for many of the most prestigious musicians and conductors the world has to offer. His clients spanned all genres of the music industry, from pop to country to jazz and classical. He received accolades from many performers, some even stopping their show to publicly acknowledge his fine work.
At the same time, Tom also operated a highly successful piano remanufacturing facility where he painstakingly restored vintage grand pianos for the most discerning customers. The daily discipline required for his vocation, combined with his interest and study of both eastern thought over the past thirty years and modern performance enhancement psychologies over the past twenty years, were the forces that have inspired him to succeed in so many disciplines. An accomplished musician / composer and arranger who has performed professionally in many venues, a private pilot, avid golfer and student of archery to name a few, Mr. Sterner finds joy in the process of learning to overcome life’s struggles by understanding the source of inner strength, peace, and self discipline, and the value of staying in the present moment. Inspired by all that he has learned, Thomas M Sterner sold his highly successful service business in 2005, created Mountain Sage Publishing and wrote his top-selling book, “The Practicing Mind: Bringing Discipline and Focus Into Your Life”. Since its release Mr. Sterner has been asked to speak at a wide range of venues including Corporate Management meetings, Universities, Capital Investment firms in New York and various workshops to name a few. In 2009 he was contacted by Matrix Media in Chicago and given his own talk radio show called “Living In The Present”. The very successful show which he hosted for a year was centered around understanding the source of self discipline and focus and using that understanding to increase ones inner peace and productivity. As he so often states “Do more, think less and learn to enjoy the journey”.
Quotes by Mr. Sterner:
- “Learning to observe our thinking instead of being a prisoner of our
s thoughts is the first step to escaping anxiety and directing our energies.” TMS
- “Feeling impatient is the first clue that you are not living in the present moment.” TMS
- “Learn to analyze, not judge. Analyzing is free of emotion and objective. To judge something, we must have a reference point that makes it either good, bad or somewhere in between. This creates the flow of emotions which can distort our perspective and be counter-productive. For example, if you lose your job, analyzing the situation is much more productive than judging it. It takes less energy, is free of anxiety, and creates the clarity necessary for better decision making..” TMS
