Today we are joined again on the Brain Booster by Dr Rick Sessinghaus, longtime coach to double major winner Collin Morikawa and a host of other top players and the originator of the ‘Flow Code’ coaching program.

Rick is a certified Mind Factor coach.

He is the expert on the mindset principles that make or break performance on and off the course. His coaching has helped top junior, collegiate, and professional golfers reach new levels of performance. Rick has also provided seminars and consulting to business teams and leaders improving their bottom line.

He is an Instructional Editor for Golf Tips magazine and can be seen on Fox Sports Network as a mental game contributor. Rick’s book Golf: The Ultimate Mind Game has been featured in national golf magazines and used by leading golf instructors across the country as the “best resource to improve your mental game.” Rick uses the proven DISC assessment to develop high performance teams and having one understand how personality affects behavior.

We got the chance to discuss Rick’s work with Collin Morikawa who he has coached from a young boy until the present day.
