Bringing the Mental and Technical Game Together – Markus Westerberg #362
The Golfers SIXTH SENSE On today’s show, we have a brilliant conversation with top Swedish PGA professional Marcus Westerberg. Marcus is a good friend of the show I’ve been previously been on a couple of times in the past to discuss his work. He wrote an absolutely brilliant book called the ‘Golfers Sixth Sense.’ This book is about a deep understanding of the mind body connection in Golf and how it is foolish to try to separate the two. Marcus is a really deep thinker about the game, and he’s had some incredible success in Sweden with his coaching and is very highly regarded throughout the world. In the show we discuss the importance of having the correct concepts of impact understanding focus of attention, and perhaps, above anything else that needs to build a pre-shot routine that is unique to you as a golfer that delivers on a regular basis, the best of your capabilities We also go into detail about how Marcus has evolved as a coach with his deep dive into the science of motor learning and skill acquisition, and how you can get much more out of your practice sessions and training. If you fully understand the mind body synergy. Perhaps most importantly, we talk in depth about how a simple misconception about impact can have such a long-term and profound impact on your game in a detrimental way. Change your concepts change your game. Enjoy a great conversation with a great coach, Marcus Westerberg.

The Culture of Traditional Coaching and what it is doing for our game – Jim Waldron and Justin Tang #361
Today we have a really special show with two good friends and outstanding coaches Jim Waldron and Justin Tang We had a wonderful conversation about the current CULTURE of golf instruction and what it is ACTUALLY doing for our game. The resulting conversation was outstanding: What are the BELIEFS that need to be challenged to move forward ? The mistake we make in thinking that movement can be changed easily The commitment and dedication required A ‘path of mastery’ approach The language of ‘easy and simple’ and why that is so limiting to make changes The over technical approach and why it holds so many people back Are we teaching the swing or the individual? Everyone has a different NEUTRAL Are you a ‘Body Only’ coach? The myth of Mind Body dualism The ‘Mind Body’ connection and why it is so important The skill of focused ATTENTION The role of EMOTIONS The role of the mind body connection in MARTIAL ARTS The role of economics in traditional coaches – The wealth – power imbalance What is the future for GREAT coaching?

What can we all learn from Rory’s experience? #359
It was a tournament like no other with incredible drama that put is all through a rollercoaster of emotions as Rory secured the Green Jacket and became a member of that most exclusive club of golf’s Grand Slam winners. Yet in the euphoria of the win and the endless post tournament analysis did we all miss something in terms of Rory’s response to the win on the final green? Top coach and good friend of the show Garret Kramer thinks so In this fascinating conversation we go a good bit deeper than what may or may not have been happening on the surface Among many other things we discuss: What was REALLY going on in that last round at Augusta? What can we all learn from Rory’s experience? The reaction to the winning putt The outpouring of relief as opposed to joy The nature of SEEKING and what it does to performance Seeking identity and worthiness through objects in the materialistic world When we stop seeking we experience relief The seemingly impossible variation in the shots Rory played in the final round The nature of LETTING GO How letting go affects our physical movement The ‘veiling of consciousness’ when we seek outside validation Why the ‘pot of gold’ isn’t worth as much as we think it is Finding out what is truly important to us To find out more about Garret Kramer go to https://www.garretkramer.com/ To Join Marcus Bell and Karl Morris for two wonderful days at West Herts Golf Club for the GRF schools June 12th and 13th Take action and click on this link https://bg6ot.r.sp1-brevo.net/mk/cl/f/sh/SMK1E8tHeG13EwyIU7dDcOCotXBW/o_3ucfYmTEr7 To get on board with the Mind Caddie and join us on the journey go to https://www.mindcaddie.golf/ OFFICIAL BRAND AMBASSADOR : Fenix Apparel and Accessories Co.
