Episode notes

Sports can act like such a great metaphor for the stuff too write, and i'm not just talking of golf. I would say the biggest thing is realizing that most of the time, in sports, come is out of your control. But what's in your control is attitude, always. Now, so all the athletes that i work with, we all work towards mastery as our goal. And if youif you're getting better, then it's easy to see how, you know, winning that next tournament or winning that next game is is just, you knowa road sign on the way towards master sono.

You don't have to be a sports fan to take something from this episode.

A globally recognized Performance Coach, Jason Goldsmith emphasizes combining the mental and physical aspects of optimal performance. As founder of Goldsmith Performance, Jason has coached multiple Major champions and top-fifty golfers. His accomplishments in golf include assisting Jason Day and Justin Rose in achieving the number-one world ranking and helping Rose win both the Gold Medal at the 2016 Olympics and the 2018 FedEx Cup Championship. In addition, he is the co-author of the book Take Charge of You: How Self Coaching Can Transform Your Life and Career

Self-coaching can transform your life and career and this is what Jason and I cover in this week's episode. We get into this idea of self-coaching and how important is it for people to open themselves up to new experiences and break from the norms so that they can perform at a higher level.

Take Charge of You, which is co-written with David Novak, is broken up into five elements which we briefly dive into during our discussion, as well as a few other topics such as my favourite undervalued and underappreciated tool; journaling. We talk about uncovering transformational insights and what that really means. And of course, the difference between self-coaching versus being coached by someone else.

Gaining new skills and doing things that are uncomfortable is never fun. But hopefully, this conversation will give you a boost of confidence to start.
