946: This week we speak to Paul Salter, a high-performance mindset coach, about overcoming mental and emotional obstacles in golf. Paul discusses the importance of awareness and curiosity in understanding and managing the mental hazards that can affect performance. Paul suggests strategies such as breathwork, taking space, finding humor, and developing routines to manage emotions and stay focused on the present moment. We also explore the impact of perfectionism and the need to let go of the pursuit of perfection in order to enjoy the game. Paul emphasizes the importance of off-course work and self-reflection in improving mental performance on the golf course.
Takeaways
  • Developing awareness and curiosity can help golfers understand and manage the mental hazards that affect their performance.
  • Strategies such as breathwork, taking space, finding humor, and developing routines can help manage emotions and stay focused on the present moment.
  • Letting go of the pursuit of perfection and embracing the process can lead to a more enjoyable and fulfilling golf experience.
  • Off-course work and self-reflection are essential for improving mental performance on the golf course.
We also have a second guest this week, my friend John Polachek, to talk about his journey into golf and his passion for writing songs. We hear his latest, called "Golf Song'' which even includes Fred in the music video.
