Phil Shomo Coaching: Adversity to Advantage

14 - HUMAN SKILLS: How personal development impacts athletic performance


Listen Later

The greatest thing about any athletic endeavor is how participation in the game draws out the realities of who we are as human beings. Can we deal with the challenges the game throws in front of us to not only perform effectively but navigate success and failure, pressure and challenges, and hopes and discouragements in flourishing ways?

I was honored to be interviewed recently by Hallam Morgan from ENAHGY: The Athletic Support Network. In this interview, Hallam asked me several things related to the human side of life and how those same realities intersect with golf. 

It was a fun conversation and in this discussion we touch on several topics including:

+ My background and how I got started in Mental Skills Coaching
+ The intersection of personal maturity with golf performance
+ Homeostasis and what that medical word has to do with pressurized golf
+ The gap between "the laboratory" and "the arena" and how we can bridge that gap
+ How understanding Crisis Management can improve our ability to perform under pressure.
+ The role Self-Awareness plays in performance improvement.
+ And many more.

Enahgy is a unique app designed to come alongside golfers pursuing golf as a career to achieve the kind of longevity often required to sustain that pursuit long-term. Their mission is stated as: "Creating longevity through financial, physical and mental support programmes" and their work is exciting and crucial for golfers who want to overcome the pitfalls of the early years of pursuing professional golf.
