Today on the Brain Booster we have a really interesting guest in the shape of former attorney and now Performance Coach L.D. Simmons

He now runs Simmons Performance working with top amateur junior and college players as well as aspiring Tour Professionals

He got in touch after qualifying for a USGA event after 48 Years of trying

Achieving a sporting dream at the age of 64

We had a fascinating conversation about his quest as a player and his development as a coach

Especially about how he has applied key Mind Factor principles over an extended period of time

We looked into:

• Being absolutely clear on what you CAN control
• How the brain is so averse to uncertainty
• The importance of ‘pre programming’ behaviour
• The fleeting nature of performance
• What a really good warm up should look like
• Creating comfort in an unfamiliar environment
• Putting a score together with less than your ‘A’ game
• What is GOOD target selection?
• How to let the golf course ‘come to you’
• How Tiger Woods beat everyone with GOOD decisions
• Adjusting your tendencies from life to your golf

Great to hear this inspiring story from a golfer who kept GOING for many years with a dream to play in a USGA event

A strong message for us all and what could be POSSIBLE

What is POSSIBLE for you?
