Ep 171 - Wednesday Wisdom - Hand Brake or Foot Brake?
About this episode
Ever jumped into a new car and suddenly the hand brake is gone… replaced by a foot brake?
You know how to drive. You know how to stop. But for a while, everything feels awkward, slow, and uncomfortable.
In this episode, we talk about why learning new habits and skills always feels worse before it feels better — whether that’s changing something in your golf swing, your practice habits, or even something as simple as adapting to a new car.
We break down how the brain actually learns new patterns, why performance often dips during change, and why so many people quit right before the breakthrough happens.
If you’ve ever felt frustrated trying to change a habit — in golf or in life — this episode will help you understand why that feeling is normal and how to push through it the smart way.
