Allow yourself to get out of your own way.
Learn how to meet the mental demands of golf and perform your best in tournament rounds.
Golf’s Mental Demands
Mental Energy
Focus and Concentration
Resiliency Under Pressure
Confidence
Emotional Regulation
Golfers cope with these demands differently.
Golfers who have the skills and abilities to effectively meet these demands see higher levels of performance, more consistently. Golfers who lack the skills and abilities to manage these demands often struggle to perform.
Michael helps his golfers meet these demands and play their best by focusing his approach around a variety of principles and techniques proven to be effective in enhancing golf performance, such as:
High Performance Process Development
A process based approach leads players to the results they are seeking. Helping players understand what their high performance process is, is the first step in helping them develop a process based approach.
Effective Self-Talk Strategies
What we think and say to ourselves has a large impact on the emotions we experience and the behaviors we react with. Aligning our thoughts and words to the task at hand in a constructive fashion is paramount to performance.
Deliberate Pre- and Post-Shot Routines
Routines help golfers prepare their minds and bodies to execute the shot at their feet. Effective routines help players narrow their focus into the “here and now” of each shot.
Visualization and Imagery Training
The learned skill of visualization and imagery provides players with confirmation of the shot they are about to play and primes the neural pathways moments before the action. As a result, golfers are then simply able to let the action happen automatically.
Developing Healthy Effective, Performance Evaluation Practices
By developing effective evaluation practices we can help golfers evaluate their performances more constructively. Having an effective evaluation process is key to continued growth and development as a player and as a person.
