    Flow Is a Trainable Skill | with Dr. Rick Sessinghaus

    Dr. Rick Sessinghaus has spent decades coaching golfers at the highest level of the game, including working with Collin Morikawa since childhood. Instead of approaching this conversation like a traditional interview, we decided to use ourselves — and our own golf games — as the case study. We talk with Rick about focus, confidence, expectations, frustration, slow play, performance under pressure, and what actually separates golfers who can recover mentally from those who spiral. Along the way, Rick helps us unpack some of our own patterns and contradictions on the course — from Oliver’s emphasis on shot results to Preston’s relationship with expectations and rhythm. Topics include: Why “flow follows focus”Whether flow is actually trainableConfidence vs commitmentHow to refocus after distractionsSlow play and emotional regulationExpectations, frustration, and the “should” trapCuriosity over criticismWhat the soul of golf means to Rick Dr. Rick Sessinghaus is a performance coach, sports psychologist, and co-founder of FlowCode Golf Academy. He has coached players at every level of the game and is best known for his longtime work with two-time major champion Collin Morikawa.

    From Thinking to Instinct, with Nic Noya (Part 2)

    In Part 2 of our conversation with Olympic Club instructor Nic Noya, we shift from Nic’s playing career to how he now thinks about coaching—and what actually helps golfers improve and perform on the course. Nic breaks down how he evaluates players, why he focuses on ball flight over mechanics, and how he tailors his approach depending on the person in front of him. Through contrasting examples—including how he would coach Oliver versus Preston—the conversation explores different paths to getting better. At the same time, the discussion turns to performance: why playing under pressure often matters more than practice, how competitive environments change behavior, and what separates golfers who can translate skill into scoring. At the center of it all is a key idea: the goal isn’t to think more—it’s to build something you can trust. Nic explains how great players move from conscious thought to instinct, and why neutrality, acceptance, and preparation matter when it’s time to hit the shot. In this episode: How Nic evaluates players and coaches different players in completely different waysHow tournaments and competition reveal your real gameWhat great players are thinking (and not thinking) over the ballHow to turn thinking into instinct on the courseWhy golf is better—and improvement easier—when you do it with someone Contact us: weekdaygolfpodcast@gmail.com Instagram: @weekdaygolfpodcast YouTube: @weekdaygolfpodcast Twitter/X: @weekdaygolfpod Design by: Austin Wooldridge Music provided by: ⁠https://www.classicals.de/mozart-figaro
