Former Navy SEAL and performance coach Jason Kuhn tackles one of golf’s most frustrating problems - the yips. Jason shares his unique special forces background, struggling with the yips himself, and working with elite athletes across multiple sports, and explains why the yips are often misunderstood. The conversation dives into the psychology behind performance breakdowns, why trying to “fix” the problem can sometimes make it worse, and how golfers can change their relationship with fear and pressure on the course. Whether you’ve struggled with the yips yourself or just want to understand the mental side of performance, this episode offers a fascinating look at why our brains sometimes sabotage our best intentions.
