The Fluid Motion Golf Factor and Reading Your Fluid Cues with Steven Yellin

Apr 20, 2021
Steven Yellin, creator of the Fluid Motion Factor, transforms golfers' performances through a unique neurophysiological approach, bypassing traditional sports psychology. He delves into the intricacies of fluid motion and the brain's mechanisms, emphasizing the importance of accessing a state of 'wholeness' for consistency. Yellin critiques part-focused instruction, allowing listeners to understand why many struggle with their swings. His techniques blend meditation principles with practical training, and he generously offers a 10% discount on his program for new participants.

ANECDOTE

Zone Experience Sparked The Program

  • Steven described a transformative 1975 tennis match where he entered a deep 'zone' of effortless play.
  • That single hour launched a lifelong effort to understand and recreate that experience for athletes.
INSIGHT

Motor System Over Intellect

  • Fluid motion occurs when the brain's motor system receives intention signals that bypass the prefrontal cortex.
  • When the prefrontal cortex re-engages mid-swing it disrupts the motor flow and breaks the motion.
INSIGHT

Grooved Motion Stays Intact

  • Once a motion is truly grooved it doesn't break down; what fails is accessing it.
  • The game changes when golfers learn the neurophysiological rules to reliably access their stored motion.
