Alena Sharp’s new life balance paying dividends on the LPGA Tour Globe_Sports
Alena Sharp tees off during Day 4 of the 2019 ISPS Handa Women's Australian Open, at The Grange GC, in Adelaide, Australia, on Feb. 17, 2019.Most golfers look for balance in their swing. Hamilton’s Alena Sharp found it in her life and is now reaping the benefits on the LPGA Tour.
“It’s not all about golf,” said Sharp. “I was practising too much and really wore out. Then not getting the results. This is a humbling game. It can be tough mentally and bring you down. When it’s going well it’s amazing but when it’s not going well, it’s tough.“So working with my therapist and having a good work-life balance along with a strong finish last season, it helped me feel like I was coming out of the downward spiral from last season.
“Just mentally I’m really fresh. Just good practice habits have translated into the results I had in Australia.” “I think I might have a little bit more quantity on certain days but I’m not really going to change much,” said Sharp. “What I’ve been doing obviously is working and it’s a long season and there’s a lot of travel.“I know last year that I was pretty tired in August. I ran around too much, practising five or six hours every day. It really wore me out.”
