About this episode
On today’s episode we’re talking about the yips. How do yips start, why do they continue, and how to systematically get rid of them.
You’re going to hear me use the word yips a lot in this episode, which might at first make you feel uncomfortable. But I believe naming it, talking about it openly, and facing your fears can destigmatize it in your own mind. So hang there and lean into it.
And this isn’t just about the yips. This applies to anytime your fear of an outcome takes over and causes you to hit bad shots. Which is a much broader issue that we all face, even if you don’t struggle with the yips specifically.
So let’s dig in and learn how to get rid of the yips.
