About this episode
You ever feel like the mental game advice you try doesn't stick? That's because most mental game advice is superficial and not effective in high-pressure moments. Including some of the stuff I've put out.
That's because there has to be a deeper layer underneath that advice for your mental game to actually be effective. In this episode, we dive into that.
Key topics:
The Ineffectiveness of Common Mental Game Advice
Understanding Yourself: The Key to Improvement
The Five Whys: A Deep Dive into Self-Reflection
Processing Emotions: Closing the Loop on Bad Shots
The Long-Term Benefits of Self-Inquiry
