Great show for you to listen to today about the role of EMOTIONS and how they can have such an impact on your game

  • What are emotions?
  • What do they actually mean?
  • How long do they last?
  • More importantly what can we do about them?

How many rounds have you played where emotions have triggered a cascade of poor shots and another score ruined?

Can you look back on your golfing life and even begin to consider how much better you would have performed IF you had more ability to deal with and release your emotions.

When emotions are running the show we can make some really STUPID decisions

The show today will give you some GREAT answers

Become an expert on yourself and how you actually trigger your emotions.

Gain insights to YOU and how you ACTUALLY work on the golf course as opposed to how you think you work

  • Understanding your emotions leads to INSIGHT
  • Emotional regulation technique
  • The 5 step PROCESS
  • Location – where is the emotion located in your body?
  • Contain the emotion – give it a shape
  • Colour – Give the emotion a colour
  • Name it – Give the emotion a NAME
  • Do something with it – Allow the emotion to RELEASE
  • Emotions only last for 7 seconds from a neuro chemical perspective, to hang on to them for longer than this is a CHOICE

Why trying to contain your emotions can be so counter productive

How anger can turn into DEPRESSION

How golfing failure can create a traumatic event in the brain

How you can use techniques to let go of the trauma. The use of EMDR

A fascinating session with a top class coach
