Business Editors

WICHITA, Kan.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 29, 2000

A world-renowned sports doctor is coming to Wichita in July, to offer advice on how to improve your golf game, and how to apply those same principals to improving your life.

Dr. Bob Rotella will be in Wichita on July 11, 2000, at the Conference Center, 8700 E. 29th St. N., Wichita (Heartspring Campus). The seminar, An Afternoon with Bob Rotella, will benefit Youth Entrepreneurs of Kansas (YEK YEK Youth Entrepreneurs of Kansas ). The event is from 1 p.m. - 4 p.m.; cost to attend is $125.

"A lot of groups have golf tournaments," said Shelly Chenoweth, executive director of YEK. "We decided to help people learn how to play better golf, instead of adding another tournament day to their calendars."

Dr. Rotella is considered by many to be the nation's premier sports psychologist and performance enhancement consultant. Dr. Rotella will be sharing strategies he uses with professional athletes and Fortune 500 managers, focusing on his four-point message of confidence, concentration, composure and commitment.

Dr. Rotella has written several books, including Golf is Not a Game of Perfect, Golf is a Game of Confidence, and most recently, Life is Not a Game of Perfect. He is a columnist for Golf Digest, and is a contributing editor for Sports Psychologist. Dr. Rotella has advised many professional athletes and teams, including Davis Love III Davis Milton Love III (born April 13, 1964) is an American professional golfer.

Love was born in Charlotte, North Carolina. He attended the University of North Carolina before turning professional in 1985.
