In this week's episode, we revisit episode 26 of Mental Game LIVE, where we dive into how to overcome performance anxiety. Look, we are experiencing an epidemic of anxiety in this country. People are suffering at rates that we have never seen before. The volume of stuff that is flooding down our information superhighway is massive. Then, you start adding in the personal things that we all deal with - the pressures, stresses, and needs to perform - and it becomes overwhelming. In this episode, we're going to talk about some strategies that you can implement to overcome performance anxiety.

In this episode, we revisit episode 23 of Mental Game LIVE. It is all about the response to failure and disappointment. Look, no one wants to fail or be disappointed after a performance. But, we need disappointment to help us grow and reach new levels.  I break down the two responses to failure in this episode: the HEALTHY way and the UNHEALTHY way. Which one are you?

So You Failed, NOW WHAT?

In this week's episode, we revisit episode 21 of Mental Game LIVE when we got to speak with Nick Dunlap, winner of the 2023 US Amateur and 2024 American Express. Nick also happens to be a client of mine, and this was something I have seen coming for a long time!  We talk about Nick's career as a junior golf (and how he was always at the golf course), how he handles negative thoughts on the golf course (especially during the US Am), and we also get a guest appearance from Nick's caddie to talk about their relationship. Great stuff for any golfer!

In this week's episode, we revisit episode 20 of Mental Game LIVE where we dive into my 3-phased approach to practice and training. This is the same process I use with the PGA Tour players that I work with, and it can even be used across multiple sports. By setting up and organizing your practice this way, you will be on your way to feeling more comfortable out on the golf course. And hey, who knows, you might even shoot lower scores!
