Lesson 7: Developing Subconscious Movements
Why is it that when the going gets tough we can not replicate what we would expect to see happen whilst practicing? Golfers are trained to believe that flawless technique is all that is required to shoot the scores they aspire to. One of the hardest lessons is understanding that there is more to it than that.
Lesson 6: Realistic Expectations
This lesson dives into breaking down whether we are having realistic expectations.
Golf is hard, we get that. However it is made harder by how high golfers set their bar of expectation. This can lead to golfers feeling down about their game and often lead to unnecessary anger on the golf course. Let’s start by dialling in on exactly how close the best players in the world are hitting it and begin to understand whether your expectations are too high!
Lesson 5: Conscious vs Subconscious Mind
Do you know the difference between the conscious and subconscious mind?
In a round of golf, both minds need to be used. However, when we rely on one when we should be relying on the other things often begin to unfold. Let’s break this down further.
Lesson 4: Experience vs Opportunity
Let’s break down the difference between an experience and opportunity.
When playing in an event, how anxious we are should be determined by how much is on the line. Understanding whether the event is an experience or opportunity may help settle those nerves to ensure you can make the most of the experience.
Lesson 3: Understanding Nerves & Anxiousness
Let’s go into the mind!
In this video we go into exactly what it is going on within the brain and body when a golfer is experiencing nerves or anxiousness before, during or after a round of golf! If you can understand what your body is experiencing you can begin to combat those reactions and emotions.
Lesson 2: How You Do One Thing...
How you do one thing…….. Is how you do everything!
Say you walk into a successful PGA/LPGA professionals house and there is mess everywhere, the bed isn’t made and their is fast food wrappers all over the place. Would you be surprised? Me too.
Taking pride in your golf development starts with tasks as small as making your bed, taking pride in how you treat your body and beyond.
Lesson 1: Growth vs Fixed Mindset
What kind of mindset do you have?
Beyond golf, this can be a discussion among all of the most successful people in the world. It’s the art of using failure as fuel and outcomes as learning opportunities. You will notice a great shift in the way you perform and develop when finding the time to focus on improving your mindset.
