What you can learn from your BIGGEST mistakes – Nick Bradley #254

50 minutes

Today on the show we are joined by top coach Nick Bradley to discuss a fascinating topic. MISTAKES and more importantly your relationship to those mistakes.

Nick sets the scene with a great story about challenging some of the best coaches in the world at the PGA show in Orlando about what they COULD have learned from their biggest mistakes.

The question was largely ignored.
An opportunity for everyone to learn was missed.
Why do we have such a poor relationship to our mistakes and more importantly what can we do about it?
How we stigmatise mistakes and the consequence of this limits our learning
How mistakes are so essential in our evolution as a player
Why we need to look at the journey of a player as opposed to just looking at perfect ‘swing positions’
Nick also gives us some great insights into working with top players
How a great relationship CAN turn sour and go in the wrong direction
The need for CLARTY on the financial side
How to keep challenging players effectively
How to become a better STUDENT
Why Butch Harmon is such a great coach
Why ‘method coaching’ can be an ego trip and intellectual snobbery
On the business side why it is important to consider ‘staying in your lane’
