Use small-game rewards to re-energize when down

When she is down during a round and needs to pick herself back up, Amy Cho plays small games with a reward attached: if she shoots 1 under over the next 3 holes she gives herself something she likes - her example is her favorite chocolate in the biggest size - which she says gets her adrenaline running and lifts her energy back up. She recommends that if you do not know where to start, play her game of 3 holes at 1 under and give yourself something you like as the reward, and it does not have to be chocolate.
