We sit down with sports psychologist Dan Abrahams to unpack why golfers tighten up under pressure and how to build mental skills that hold up when your swing is not there. We focus on playing your “C game” well, managing automatic negative thoughts, and using routines plus a competitive persona to stay committed over every shot. 

• Dan’s background across elite golf and team sports 
• Why winning often requires a strong C game 
• ANTS as automatic negative thoughts and feelings 
• Why short putts feel harder than long shots 
• Acceptance and why fighting thoughts backfires 
• Attention control as the top mental skill 
• Ruthless routines and refusing to hit on an ANT 
• Game face and alter ego tools for confidence 
• Metaphors as fast mental cues under pressure 
• How self-talk influences hormones and muscle tension 
• What separates high performers beyond technique 
• Practice levels that add realism and consequences 
• Mental toughness as discipline on the range
