  • #126: [Inside the Mind] Derek Belch (CEO of Strivr and Stanford Kicker): Visualization on Steroids, Decision-Making Under Pressure, and the Psychology of High-Stakes Performance
    2026/01/08
    Pressure exposes the truth. It reveals who's prepared, who's present, and who's pretending. And whether you're standing over an eight-foot putt to win the Masters or staring down a boardroom full of investors, the mechanisms that make you crumble — or come alive — are the same. In this powerful conversation, Derek Belch—founder & CEO of STRIVR, former Stanford kicker, entrepreneur, and competitive golfer—breaks down the psychology of high-stakes performance. Derek shares what truly separates people who execute under pressure from those who collapse, why the myth of "balance" is misleading, and the mindset that's helped him build a pioneering tech company while simultaneously pursuing his quest to qualify for a PGA Tour event. In this episode, you'll learn: Why pressure is a privilege—and the hidden gift inside nervousnessThe difference between preparation that helps vs. preparation that hurtsHow VR training reveals the brain's decision-making blind spotsWhy perspective is the golfer's most underdeveloped mental skillHow to reframe pressure as opportunity instead of consequenceWhy so many founders burn out—and how to avoid becoming one of themThe real meaning of work-life balance for high achieversDerek's biggest lessons from pursuing scratch golf in his 40s Whether you're a golfer, entrepreneur, or high performer hungry for the next level, this episode will reshape the way you prepare, practice, and perform.

  • #125: How to Summit the Mountain of Success
    2026/01/05
    In this episode, I want you to imagine this… You're standing at the base of a mountain on a clear day. You can see the trail. You can see the summit. That summit represents the next level of your life—the golfer you know you're capable of being, the business owner with more freedom, peace, and confidence. You know where you're going. You know what to do. And yet, every step feels heavier than it should. Not because you lack discipline.Not because you lack talent.Not because you don't want it badly enough. It feels hard because you're trying to summit your mountain while carrying a backpack full of invisible weight—unexamined beliefs, unresolved emotions, fear, pressure, and destructive mindset programs that quietly sabotage your progress. In this episode, I break down the mountain metaphor to show you why most high performers get stuck two steps forward, three steps back—and why the problem was never the mountain, the plan, or the strategy. We'll unpack emotional fog, destructive mindset programs, perfectionism, fear of success, and why self-sabotage often disguises itself as logic. Most importantly, I'll show you what it actually means to do the work required to clear the fog, lighten the load, and finally reach the summit you already know you're capable of climbing. In this episode, you'll learn: Why knowing what to do isn't enough to create lasting changeHow emotional fog robs you of clarity, confidence, and self-trustWhat destructive mindset programs are and how they keep you stuckWhy self-sabotage often feels logical, responsible, or justifiedWhere most high performers stop short on their climb to successHow perfectionism and fear of success quietly drain your energyWhat it actually means to "do the work" to reach your next level Get your pencils ready and start listening.

Key Quotes: "You're not stuck because you don't know what to do—you're stuck because of the weight you're carrying.""The problem was never the mountain; it was the backpack.""Self-sabotage disguises itself as logic when your nervous system wants relief.""Emotion is energy in motion, and unprocessed emotion creates fog.""Your subconscious doesn't care if an emotion hurts—it cares if it's familiar.""If you want to achieve different, you must be willing to feel different.""Sustainable success begins when you stop dragging old patterns uphill."

In this episode of The Scratch Golfer's Mindset Podcast, Emilia pulls back the curtain on what it really takes to stay composed on live TV, how she manages nerves under pressure, and why the same routines, reps, and reflections that make her great on-air are the same ingredients you need to perform on the golf course and in business. She shares how she redefined success after stepping away from professional golf, the emotional cost of perfectionism, and what it's like to build a powerful personal brand as a woman in a male-dominated sport—all while keeping joy, gratitude, and perspective at the center. In this episode, you'll learn: How Emilia handles nerves and stays authentic during live broadcastsThe mindset shift that helped her stop chasing perfection and start playing freerPractical ways to simulate "18th-hole pressure" in your practice and prepHow routines, reps, and reflection translate from broadcasting to better golfWhat Emilia's identity shift from pro-track golfer to broadcaster taught her about fulfillmentHow she defines a "successful" broadcast (and why saying less is often more)What it really takes to stand out as a woman in golf and claim your space with confidence Get your pencils ready and start listening. P.P.S. Curious to learn more about the results my clients are experiencing and what they say about working with me? Read more here.

Click here to learn more about how high-performance hypnotherapy and mindset coaching can help you get out of your own way and play to your potential on (and off) the course. Instagram: @thegolfhypnotherapist Twitter: @parsoverbogeys Key Takeaways: Treat the camera like a person and slightly exaggerate your natural personality so your true self actually comes through under pressure.Nerves don't disappear; they become more manageable when you simplify the goal—like aiming to say just one truly insightful thing each broadcast.Preparation is routine, reps, and rehearsal: organize your info, rehearse key lines, and build a repeatable process you can trust when the heat turns up.Reflection isn't just about what went wrong—intentionally review what you did well so you don't let one flub define the entire performance.Perfectionism feels like a superpower early on, but if you don't manage your expectations, it becomes emotional kryptonite that drains joy and confidence.Watching the best players closely teaches that even world-class golfers hit plenty of mediocre shots—and handle them with neutrality and grace.In both golf and broadcasting, success is often saying less with more impact and knowing when silence, presence, and emotion are more powerful than words. Key Quotes: "If I can just say one insightful thing to the audience, that's a win.""You might spend five hours on notes and only use ten percent of them—and that's okay.""Broadcasting is a job of imperfection; it's how you handle yourself when things go slightly awry that matters.""I had to accept that golf isn't my number one priority anymore—and still let that be okay.""The more I worked in golf, the more I realized I didn't want to feel emotionally...
