  2. Mental Coach Dawn Grant on Hypnosis, Visualization & the Zone | Trap Talk Ep. 167

    Mental Coach Dawn Grant on Hypnosis, Visualization & the Zone | Trap Talk Ep. 167

    In Episode 167 of Trap Talk, Zach Nannini and Richard Marshall Jr. sit down with Dawn Grant — mental performance coach, certified hypnotist, and owner of Amelia Shotgun Sports in northeast Florida. Dawn shares how she went from psychology student to working with PGA Tour pros like Vijay Singh, helping him break an 18-month slump and win $13 million in one month. A local sporting clays shooter introduced her to the shotgun world, and she's been helping clay shooters ever since — working with names like Wendell Cherry and John Woolley. The conversation digs deep into: the difference between conscious and subconscious mind — and why that matters for shooters why trap shooters already know the mental game is 90% of the battle visualization techniques and how Frank Hoppy had a 14-year-old Ricky Marshall breaking 100 targets in his mind before bed what hypnosis actually is — and what it isn't (no, she can't poke around in your secrets) a live breathing and visualization exercise that kept Zach and Ricky quiet for three straight minutes (a Trap Talk record) why bringing your attention to your breath and the details on the target keeps your conscious mind out of trouble Dawn also breaks down the alpha and theta brainwave states, explains why you shouldn't change your mechanics the day before an event, and talks about how confidence with humility is the sweet spot for peak performance. If you've ever choked in a shoot-off, talked yourself out of a good run, or just want to understand what's happening between your ears when the pressure's on — this episode is for you. 📍 Find Dawn: DawnGrant.com | Clay Mastermind Podcast | @DawnGrantMentalTraining on social 📍 Free web class: tinyurl.com/CSwebclass Like, comment, and subscribe — and remember, if you don't believe in yourself, no one else is going to believe in you.
