We discuss how you can get the very best from your game on the course with the TWO critical markers
The ability to assess the shot The ability to EXECUTE the shot To get out of reactive thinking To reduce the excessive attention on RESULTS To REALLY tune in to the GOLF COURSE To be present to your assessment of the shot How to reduce emotional interference How to build a process on each shot you can then record  
A great session with a deep thinker of the game

Today we are joined on the Brain Booster by one of the legends of US coaching Jim Waldron for a fascinating discussion about the Mind Body connection
Jim has spent most of his working life absorbed in the workings of consciousness and how it can apply to the game of golf
In his early years he spent time with some masters of martial arts and applied key principles to his coaching
He studied with some of the great meditation teachers such as Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche and Suziki Roshi
He has become very well known for his work with the yips in golf and also in numerous other sports such as baseball, basketball, darts and bowls
We discussed:
The two types of yips and why one type is very The origination of yips and what makes things worse What are the ‘fuels’ for the yips? The wrong use of the conscious mind The effects of negative emotion and the manifestation of FEAR Why people don’t yip on a practice swing The principle of Radical Acceptance How ‘observation’ can change everything Are you the ‘Hero’ or the ‘Victim’ of your story? The value of a mindfulness practice Understand your ‘focal point’ in the swing  
So many wonderful ideas and concepts to consider
Jim Waldron is a nationally acclaimed golf teaching professional, mental game coach, author, and lecturer best known for his pioneering research on the mind/body connection approach to learning and teaching golf.

 Today we are joined on the Brain Booster by Marcus Bell from GRF Golf formerly Zen Golf
I have known Marcus for many years and we have done a number of seminars together.
It has been wonderful to recently see how much his coaching career has taken off as a result of his You Tube channel where he shares the content of his actual lessons as opposed to just giving out ‘technique tips’
It is a real ‘fly on the wall’ experience watching a top coach in action
Marcus and his coaching is very different from so much of the information out there at the moment.
He helps people tap into their own natural way of moving
Exploring possibility
We had had the chance to discuss:
Why golfers have lost their true IDENTITY The endless search for information creates so much noise in the system Why being dependent on other people and their opinions can be so detrimental How you can learn to connect back to more of your AUTHENTIC golfing self Why movement doesn’t need language How we can stop interfering with the system and learn how to REACT better Pushing your boundaries and exploring movement in space How you can explore draws and fades Creating an environment of discovery This session will really encourage you to explore YOUR movements and what your body can ACTUALLY do as opposed to what you have been told to do

Knowing who you TRULY are on the golf course – Garret Kramer
How you can learn to fully EXPRESS yourself 
Today on the Brain Booster we are joined by coach Garret Kramer 
We had a fascinating discussion around identity and who we truly are
How we often get drawn down blind alleys as a result of our attachment to a separate self or ego
Garret provided a refreshing if alternative view of what it is to be a golfer in the modern world and how we often FORGET our true identity
 
We discussed:
The myths and misconceptions around the ‘mental game’ Why a lot of psychology can be doomed to fail How we can actually play with a CLEAR HEAD Why trying to FIX your thinking can just create more problems than it solves How the desire to EXPRESS yourself can actually be grounded in a stable place in your mind   Garret has a different way of looking at performance and the seeking of fulfilment
I am sure you will find his ideas challenge a lot of your current beliefs but you will nevertheless find them fascinating

How to develop STABLE confidence – Dr Raymond Prior
Why is your confidence so unstable? Why do you have it TODAY and it is gone TOMORROW? What would it be like to have a STABLE confidence that doesn’t come and go? Today we welcome back onto the podcast one of the most popular guests over the past 12 months Dr Raymond Prior. Raymond is one of the most sought after mental performance coaches in the USA and he has recently published a wonderful new book called ‘Golf – Beneath the Surface’ which is a tremendous in depth study of what is REALLY happening in our brain when we are attempting to perform our best in sport.
As the title says it is not about the ‘surface level’ techniques often dished out to players but a study into what has been found by science to be truly beneficial in helping someone deal with the challenges of the game.
So much of what we have been taught about mental coaching turns out to be nothing more that myths and misconceptions.
In our conversation today we drill down and look at a number of those myths to get to the heart of what will REALLY make a difference.
 We look into:
 
The true nature of STABLE confidence. What it is and why it is so important to have it  Why we suffer so much with insecurity in our game  Unstable confidence: Why so many of us are looking for confidence in all the wrong places  Why ACCEPTANCE is such a critical skill to understand  What acceptance definitely is NOT  How the yips ACTUALLY manifest in our mind and why just working on technique will NEVER solve the problem Raymond’s new book is called:
‘Golf beneath the surface’ and is available on Amazon
 A really tremendous session with a great Performance Coach
