Episode Description: In this episode of Golf Mom Mindset, I sit down with Bridget Ackley, an award-winning PGA Specialized Professional based in West Palm Beach and one of the top junior golf coaches in the country. Bridget has dedicated her career to helping young athletes grow not just as golfers—but as confident, independent kids both on and off the course.

We dive into one of the biggest challenges for golf parents and coaches: 👉 How do we support our kids without over-coaching or taking over their decisions?

Bridget shares powerful insights on: • Letting juniors choose their own clubs—yes, even if they pick the “wrong” one • The value of learning through mistakes in real time • Why decision-making freedom builds confidence, ownership, and long-term love for the game • How to create open communication so kids feel heard, understood, and supported • Balancing performance goals with fun, growth, and emotional well-being

Whether you’re a golf parent, a coach, or someone who wants to raise resilient young athletes, this conversation is full of practical tips and mindset shifts you can apply immediately.
