        SHOW NOTES

        Really enjoyed the F1 movie this week with Brad Pitt. And there was an important lesson in there for the rest of us on what’s the correct goal to shoot for in boosting your mental game? If you focus on the wrong thing, it can slow your pace of progress and even knock you completely off track (racing puns intended). In any case, it’s an important point to think about. Enjoy!

            SHOW NOTES

            Great moment this week for Coco Gauff, winning the French Open. She seems to be a genuinely lovely young person, which is just nice to see in these times. It’s also one of the lessons the rest of us can take from her win this week. “Do you have to be a jerk to be great?” You do not. But you DO have to work on your mental game to overcome the common problems we ALL face. Enjoy!

              SHOW NOTES

              Really loving the new golf show, “Stick,” with Owen Wilson on Apple TV. NOT loving so much the mental game advice they’re giving. :-) Couple of big things that work fine on TV but not so much in the real world. In fact, it’s worse than that. The approach they’re using can really pull you off onto the wrong track and hurt your game. Unfortunately, it’s also a pretty common approach. So, wanted to quick talk about that so you can avoid falling into that trap. Enjoy!
