209: Legendary NFL Head Coach Bill Walsh says "One of the best books ever written on the mental approach to golf and sports performance" was "Winning the Battle Within -- The Perfect Swing is the One You Trust" by Dr. Glen Albaugh and Michael Bowker. Dr. Albaugh passed away on February 16, 2023 in Lodi, CA at the age of 91. Over the next six episodes, we are going to honor his memory by replaying his six visits to Golf Smarter. In our first meeting with Dr. Albaugh on Golf Smarter episode 41 from Sept6, 2006, host Fred Greene has an in-depth discussion with Glen about his theories and focuses on his unique ideas about Pre-Shot and POST-shot routines.
Glen was a beloved professor and iconic figure at the University of the Pacific, visionary sports psychologist, and a beloved guest on Golf Smarter. He was also the head coach for the University golf team for more than two decades. Two of his closest friendships were with two Super Bowl winning NFL Coaches, Pete Carroll and Bill Walsh.
