| 202: How to Perform Under Pressure | 13 Aug 2024 | 00:24:53 | |
On this episode we’re going to be talking about pressure, stress, our brain's role in helping us survive threatening situations, how to close out a good round, and some real practical mental strategies for being present and free while you play. You're going to learn how to face your struggles, rather than hiding from them. We’re going to use this concept to help you on a bigger picture of dealing with obstacles and setbacks in your own golf pursuit, but this will also apply to helping you deal with pressure during a round. ----- Get 10% off your Divot Board!

| 201: Paul Salter - Is Hypnotherapy Useful for Golf? | 25 Jul 2024 | 01:03:09 | |
In this episode of The Mental Golf Show, we have Paul Salter, a mindset coach and hypnotherapist for golfers. We discuss how hypnotherapy has a misconstrued reputation, why Paul believes it can speed up the mental improvement and performance of golfers. We also discuss the amateur golfer’s common diet mistakes, how to get premium fuel for your body, how ‘scarcity mentality’ applies to golf and can affect your game, how long golf improvement should take, how nonjudgmental curiosity can help us change the internal rules we’ve created, what’s at the heart of fear of failure, how fear of getting kicked out of the group can fuel playing scared, and the power of clear visualization, and specifically clear visualization of mistakes. ----- Get 10% off a Divot Board!

| 101: How a Mental Coach Thinks Before, During, and After a Tournament | 24 May 2021 | 00:50:44 | |
I played a golf tournament and documented my thoughts as I went through the week.

| 100: How to Deal with 1st Tee Nerves | Golf Thoughts Ep 3 | 17 May 2021 | 00:11:59 | |
This is mostly just a guess, but I'm willing to bet that 95% of golfers are nervous on their first tee shot. What could go wrong, how is today going to go, am I going to get off to a good start, will today be my best round or my worst round, I've gotta show my playing partners I'm not terrible. All of these thoughts will lead to nervousness on the first tee. So... what should we think instead? ----- Thanks for listening! Become part of the MGS community!

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!

| 73: Bad Shots are Inevitable. So Why Aren’t You Ready for Them? | 29 Nov 2020 | 00:16:37 | |
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.

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.

| 71: How to Take Control of Your Own Improvement | 27 Nov 2020 | 00:15:11 | |
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 | |||

| 69: How a Regular Person Can Become a Scratch Golfer w/ Sean Denning of parmachine.com | 23 Oct 2020 | 00:34:14 | |
Sean Denning is just a "regular guy". He works a regular job. Has a regular family. Has regular time constraints. Yet he improved his handicap from around a 4, into a scratch in just over a year. Now at first glance that might not sound like a lot and it might sound like a long time. But look at your improvement during your own life. Has it been dramatic? Has it been fast? If you're like me, then most likely not. Improvement is slow in golf, and making big strides is really difficult. And the better you are the harder it gets to improve even further. But what I like about this conversation and Sean's story is that he did it with an hour here and an hour there. He didn't have a tour player schedule. But HOW he spent his time is what made the difference. If you don't have quantity, then extreme quality will have to do. Hope you enjoyed this episode, because I know I did.

| 66: The Best Definition of Process I’ve Ever Heard w/ Kellen Lee, CMPC | 25 Sep 2020 | 00:59:36 | |
You've heard the phrase "Stick to the process" or "focus on the process" or "the process is more important than the result" right? Probably more than you'd like. But what does it mean? This conversation with Kellen Lee, one of the mental coaches for the San Francisco Giants baseball organization, dives deep into that very topic, and how having a clear process can actually help you play better.

| 63: Why the Mental Game is Vital w/ Dr. Lindsey Blom | 02 Sep 2020 | 00:30:10 | |
How much of golf would you say is mental and how much is physical? 50/50? 60/40? 20/80? Regardless you will scarcely find someone that thinks it's all physical and no mental. So then does your practice time reflect those percentages? If you think any part of golf is mental then you should incorporate at least some mental training into your regimen, and Dr. Lindsey Blom makes a great case for that in this episode. ----- Want to try some actual mental training?
