The Mental Golf Show

How many of us spend our playing time trying to swing a certain way? Trying to perform that perfect motion. Only to get to a frustrated point and give up trying to be perfect and finally just play, and actually start playing the way we wanted to all along? No? Just me?

Hey everybody! Josh here! Ever struggle moving on from bad shots and putts? I have a pretty strong hunch your answer is yes. Tried ways to talk yourself into moving on and forgetting about that bad shot but it didn't work? Pretty strong possibility that answer is yes too. Try this tangible, physical way to accept shots and move on. Because the only way to hit the next shot with full commitment and trust (which is your only job after all) is to fully accept the previous shot and move on. ----- Let me know what you think!

At first glance, Tiger and Dustin Johnson are very different people. Personality-wise who could be more different? But they share one super important trait that you can do and can directly help you play better. Listen to hear what it is! ----- Thanks for listening!

When was the last time you played a round of golf without a bogey? It's not exactly common. How about something even more rare - playing a round without a bad shot/swing/chip/putt? It doesn't happen. Ben Hogan famously said even in his best rounds he only hit 1 or 2 perfect shots. So it's essential that you prepare mentally for bad shots, holes, scores, and tournaments. Listen for a way to do it. ----- Thanks for listening! Share with someone who needs to work on their mental game! If you'd like to reach me, send me an email at joshlukenichols@gmail.com.

2 day streak! Still going... for now. The topic of this episode was inspired by working with one of my players who felt they were a totally different golfer from one day to the next. But he (and all of us) need to realize an important truth about our game. Listen to hear it! *****Bonus points to the first person to send me the name of my cat which is revealed after she so rudely (but also cutely) interrupted me***** ----- Thanks for listening!

Yes I'm going to do this to myself. I'm going to commit to doing a daily podcast. Even if it's just something small and unedited. I want to consistently give you guys something to think about that's been on my mind, or that I've learned, or that I've discussed with one of my own mental coaching players, or just random thoughts. I already know I'm not going to pull off a daily show, so I'm going to pre-accept that failure (foreshadowing to a future episode 😉). But I'm going to put this routine in place, and attempt to take intentional control of my journey. Speaking of taking intentional control of my journey, this episode is all about putting in a consistent process to help you always be moving forward towards improvement, and being able to catch yourself in the middle of sliding backwards. No plateaus allowed! ----- If you'd like to contact me, my email is joshlukenichols@gmail.com Or if you'd like more, head to foundationsmp.com or follow me on social: Twitter: @joshlukenichols Instagram: @joshlukenichols
