• Why practice needs to be FUN and the MAGIC of the Low Point– Andreas Kali #353

  On today’s show we have a special coach in the shape of Denmark’s Andreas Kali who has overseen the development of numerous top players in Denmark. Due to his incredible results with so many players he has become one of the hottest coaches in golf We had a really wonderful conversation about the philosophy behind the success he has been getting in Denmark In particular about the development of the players a people not just golfers The need to create an environment of fun and learning in practice. Not just fun in the conventional sense but the fun of being REALLY engaged in the training you are doing Andreas talked about some of the setback he encountered as a player and how he wants to help his own players short circuit that learning He talked about the THREE CORE elements that drive all of his lessons and the training environments   Does this get the ball CLOSER to the target Does this PREVENT injury Does this enhance the LOVE of the game If your coaching is not addressing those needs then is it REALLY making a difference? We talked about LOW POINT in the swing and how this simple focus of attention can make such a huge difference to most golfers enjoyment of the game but also their performance Keeping players in the game for longer Not everyone is going to be a champion but can we keep players engaged in a way that doesn’t threaten their identity as a human being You will find this conversation fascinating and you will begin to see why Andreas has been so incredibly successful with so many young players To find out more about Andreas Kali go to https://andreaskaligolf.com/ To start your FREE Mind Caddie 7 day trial go to https://www.mindcaddie.golf/ To book your Mind Caddie workshop at your club go to www.themindfactor.com To book your place on the ‘Lost Art of Golf’ school get in touch at www.themindfactor.com OFFICIAL BRAND AMBASSADOR : Fenix Apparel and Accessories Co.

• The Big Picture of Mind Coaching – Jim Waldron #352

  What will ACTUALLY make a difference to your golf and life  Today on the Mind Caddie we welcome back my good friend and colleague Jim Waldron. This is a recording of a live presentation Jim gave to the Mind Factor coaches Jim is an outstanding coach with an absolute wealth of experience. This seminar is for the really dedicated coach or player. There are some challenging concepts in here that have the potential to make a really BIG difference to your game and indeed your life. In the session we talked about: The dangers of spending TOO much time in your own internal world. Becoming too absorbed in your own thoughts. The opportunity in golf to develop the skills of going EXTERNAL. In between shots having the capability to go to your SENSORY experience. What can you SEE, HEAR or FEEL? Having the DISTINCTION between the TWO WORLDS of INTERNAL and EXTERNAL What focused attention actually is The absolute ‘rules of the road’ with swing changes The need for slow motion swings and FEELING the extremes either side of correct Why information alone will never create swing changes What is the correct ‘dose’ of practice Making the movement patterns UNCONSCIOUS The difference between working on the swing and PERFORMING the swing on the course The need to develop a FOCAL POINT on the course Developing a ‘basket’ of focal points to take out onto the course Developing the ‘Let’s SEE what HAPPENS’ mindset What is the essential nature of the unconscious mind? The ‘watchdog’ of the unconscious mind. Why the unconscious mind often ‘believes’ a yip is actually helping The opportunity to ‘sit’ in the presence of a great coach interacting with other coaches and developing so many key concepts and ideas To find out more about Jim Waldron and his great work go to https://balancepointgolf.com/ To start your FREE Mind Caddie 7 day trial go to https://www.mindcaddie.golf/ To book your Mind Caddie workshop at your club go to www.themindfactor.com To book your place on the ‘Lost Art of Golf’ school get in touch at www.themindfactor.com OFFICIAL BRAND AMBASSADOR : Fenix Apparel and Accessories Co.

• Deepening your level of ACCEPTANCE – Raymond Prior PhD #350

  The ultimate mental game skill Today on the Mind Caddie we welcome back my good friend and colleague Dr Raymond Prior. Raymond is one of the top performance consultants in the world. He works with some of the very best golfers in the world on the PGA Tour as well as athletes from many other sports and also actors and entertainers. He is the author of a wonderful book ‘Golf Beneath the surface’ We also co contributed to a great program called: ‘Stable Confidence’ The foundations of stable confidence are a willingness to accept ALL and EVERY possible outcome you may face in a round or in a tournament. In today’s conversation we deepen the understanding of developing the skill of ACCEPTANCE We discuss what acceptance is and perhaps more importantly what it isn’t. It is not giving up or resignation It is not being ‘happy’ with poor outcomes It is not feeling comfortable all the time It is a willingness to embrace the REALITY of the game Why your brain is ‘primed’ to focus on avoidance Your brain doesn’t care about golf it cares about SURVIVAL How can we begin to work with and understand this? How can we actually develop acceptance skills? Yoga and cold water, what is the link? Why being in a state of pursuit is so important What is the flow state actually like? This conversation WILL really make a difference to your game. It is a wonderful discussion about the crucial skill of ACCEPTANCE To find out more about Raymond Prior go to https://www.btsmindset.com/ To start your FREE Mind Caddie 7 day trial go to https://www.mindcaddie.golf/ To book your Mind Caddie workshop at your club go to www.themindfactor.com To book your place on the ‘Lost Art of Golf’ school get in touch at www.themindfactor.com OFFICIAL BRAND AMBASSADOR : Fenix Apparel and Accessories Co.
