It is wonderful to welcome back again onto the show my very good friend Jim Waldron to discuss what I believe to be THE single most important mental skill of all ACCEPTANCE

We have had Jim on the show many times before but each time I get him back people say just how much they enjoy our conversations

Jim is such a generous man with his time and he brings with him an incredible depth and breadth of knowledge about the game.

His own experiences and the people he has worked with and studied under.

He is as busy as ever coaching in some wonderful locations in Oregon and Hawaii

In today's conversation we discuss:

• Why acceptance is THE foundational mental game skill
• Acceptance of what our mind is actually doing
• Having some form of meditation practice
• Not resisting your experience
• Being willing to deal with all possible outcomes
• What acceptance certainly isn't
• As ever a really engaging and thought provoking session with a truly remarkable coac

On today's show we have a unique combination of two of the game's foremost thinkers and coaches Jon Sherman and Adam Young.

They host the fabulous podcast 'The Sweet Spot' which I have been fortunate to be a guest on a few times.

Adam Young is the author of the 'Practice Manual' and Jon Sherman is the author of 'Four Foundations of Golf'

We had a fabulous conversation about how to REALLY make a difference to your game

• We discussed the Big Three of Impact
• The non negotiables
• Face Orientation
• Strike Location
• Ground Contact
• The difference between focusing on Micro and Macro in coaching
• How the genius lies with the student not the coach
• Why it is easier to sell a 'swing system' than giving the power to the student
• Know what you are signing up for if you are working on MACRO changes
• Getting to the 'scene of the crime' with impact
• Understanding the power of INTENTION
• Can you do the process as a student
• What is ACTUALLY happening at impact
• Keeping track of your impact patterns
• Being open to what you HAVE today as opposed to what you WISH you had
• Understanding how you need to change your questions to change your game.
• A ground breaking conversation with two wonderful coaches
• Are YOU going to be brave enough to keep it simple?

Today on the Mind Caddie we welcome back one of our most popular guests and coaches Dr Raymond Prior.

Raymond is carving a reputation at the very highest levels of the game as one of the world's best Performance Psychologists

His book 'Golf Beneath The Surface' has gained critical acclaim from both players and coaches alike

It is an absolute necessity in any players library

On today's show we had a wonderful conversation about the role of our brain in performance and what it is actually doing to us when we feel anxiety

The importance of understanding this cannot be overstated

We discussed:

• Why our brain is really concerned primarily with PROTECTING us from OUTCOMES
• What is REALLY holding you back
• Priority NO 1 is to help you SURVIVE
• The PERCEPTION of threat and how it manifests in golf
• The OVERESTIMATING negative outcomes is a brain working perfectly
• Why our prehistoric brain is essentially out of date
• The 3 stages of ANXIETY and what to do about it
• Why ACCEPTANCE is the ultimate mental game skill to develop
