In this week's episode, we look back at a recent Instagram Live I did with my good friend Liam Mucklow, the foremost authority on power and precision in the game of golf (and soon to be baseball). Liam is a Golf Top 100 instructor as well as running The Golf Lab. He also founded The Baseball Performance Lab in partnership with Marucci Sports.

Baseball Performance Lab was created to revolutionize the way baseball approaches training and equipment. Some of the highest profile MLB players come to Liam's lab in Baton Rouge, LA, to optimize their equipment. He is changing the way baseball players train and optimize their bats!

In this episode, we revisit episode 27 of Mental Game LIVE where I sat down with former PGA Tour player and current NBC Golf Analyst Smylie Kaufman. Smylie has made a pretty seamless transition from player to analyst and does an awesome job for NBC's golf broadcast.

We discuss Smylie's career as a professional golfer and how that has helped him as an analyst, competitive stress that players deal with, finding your feel after losing it, and so much more!

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 25 of Mental Game LIVE where we discuss FEAR and how to manage it. Whether it's fear of failure, fear of the unknown, or any other form of anxiety holding you back, we provide practical tools and strategies to help you face and conquer your fears.

Join us as we explore real-life examples, expert insights, and actionable steps that will empower you to turn fear into a driving force for personal growth and success.

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?

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!

In this episode, let's revisit episode 19 of Mental Game LIVE, where I chatted with former University of Georgia linebacker and current high school head coach Jake Ganus. Jake took over as the head coach at Moody HS in Birmingham, AL, and has had tremendous success by getting his whole program to believe they can win, instead of just hoping to win. It hasn't been easy, but by building a culture of BELIEF, the results are happening quicker than he expected.

In this episode, we revisit episode 18 of Mental Game LIVE where we brought on former Navy SEAL Chad Metcalf to talk about his time as a SEAL.

We dove headfirst into all things pertaining to the mindset of what it takes to:

• Make it through BUDS (SEAL training) - including Hell Week
• Keep going/not give up during the hardest physical and mental test in the world
• Become one of the baddest dudes on the planet
• Develop a growth mindset versus a fixed mindset

This week's episode features episode 17 of Mental Game LIVE where I take a deep dive into anxiety and how it affects our performance. We go through what it looks like in performance and in real life, some tools you can utilize when it hits, and also how you can continue to manage it so that you can perform at your best in spite of it!

Anxiety wants you to believe the future is scary and success is unlikely. We talk about having mental flexibility which allows you to be anxious but still find a way to be successful. You must become aware of what is happening and accept that it is out of your control, but then find your stability in the storm, and then push forward.
