Mastering the mental game is often more crucial than physical skill in golf, as demonstrated by emotional intelligence coach Daniel Schuler who breaks down how our personal narratives impact performance. The internal stories we tell ourselves, rooted in our identity, determine our decisions on the course and can either empower or limit our potential.

• Emotional intelligence defined as awareness of your feelings, their origins, their impact on others, and recognition of others' emotions
• How water hazards create mental blocks because trying not to think about something requires thinking about it
• Understanding that we don't see shots as they are but through the filter of our personal narratives
• Why negative outcomes dominate our memory even when most shots are good
• How rapid improvement happens by identifying and changing false beliefs about ourselves
• The difference between a golfer's physical capabilities and their mental readiness to perform
• Examples of dramatic performance changes after just one conversation with Daniel
• Success story of a student-athlete improving after only 20 minutes of emotional intelligence coaching
• Insight into how professional golfers could benefit from identity work
