About Jared
Closing the Gap Between Where You Are and Where You Want to Be
Jared’s story
Jared Tendler, MS, LMHC, is an internationally recognized mental game coach with over 20 years of experience. His clients span 45 countries and include world champion poker players, PGA and LPGA Tour winners, executives, entrepreneurs and institutional and independent financial traders. His straightforward and logical approach has been proven to help people solve their mental game problems and perform at their highest levels.
He is the author of three highly acclaimed books, The Mental Game of Trading and The Mental Game of Poker 1 & 2. His latest book Everyday Golf Psychology is available now and has already garnered great reviews from Top 100 instructors. He also previously served as Head of Sport Psychology for the esports organization Team Liquid. Jared’s diverse experience and proven techniques make him among the best mental coaches in the world.
As a junior golfer, Jared dreamed of playing professionally and his interest in golf psychology began after choking in the U.S. Open local qualifier in 1997 — missing four short putts and a playoff by one shot. While playing collegiate golf for Division III Skidmore College, Jared was a three-time All-American and won nine tournaments but continually underperformed in national events. Driven to find better answers, he earned a master’s degree in counseling psychology and became a licensed therapist. In 2005, Jared started working with golfers to develop a practical, straightforward approach to golf psychology, helping players at every level, from tournament professionals to beginners.
Proving his clients aren’t the only ones to benefit from his system, Jared solved his own issues and in 2013 qualified for the U.S. Mid-am, shooting two-under. Currently, he’s a member at Jericho National Golf Club in New Hope, PA, regularly plays in regional tournaments and now dreams of playing in the U.S. Senior Open.
