53: There’s No One Way to Think May 04, 2020

Show notes

A lot of us think that we have to do things just like to the pros in order to play like the pros. But I think that's a misconception that we should challenge ourselves on. What we do can weigh us down. So here's a challenge to change that way of thinking. Thanks for listening! If you enjoyed it leave a rating! For more, head to joshnicholsgolf.com.

51: Dealing with Change Apr 21, 2020

Show notes

How do you deal with change? Is your house built on sand or on a solid foundation of rock? In order to deal with tough circumstances you must build from the ground up.

50: Visualization Practice Apr 16, 2020

Show notes

A lot of us are looking for things we can be doing during our downtime, between tournaments, or just a good daily habit to exercise your mind. This visualization practice is a good way to fill those gaps!

The first half of this episode describes the why, what, and how of visualization/meditation. And the second half is a recording of a visualization practice that I do for myself. But just because it's for me doesn't mean you can't use it. It's generic enough to apply to you, while specific enough to simulate the feelings that you should have before, during, and after a competitive round of golf.

Hope this helps! For more, head to joshnicholsgolf.com.

49: When Things Feel Out of Control Mar 30, 2020

Show notes

There’s a strong tendency to focus on the things you can’t control, especially when circumstances are not how you’d like them to be. But when external forces seem to be out of control, what you choose to focus on can determine your performance.

48: Wrong but Committed Mar 24, 2020

Show notes

We wonder what it’s like to get in the zone. Or we want to figure out how to get out of our own way. Well you can’t simply will yourself into the zone, or repeat the words "get out of your own way" over and over and expect yourself to magically arrive there. It's a practice. A habit. And one that you can start right now, whether you're at home or at the course.

47: Update Pod - Coronavirus Edition Mar 16, 2020

Show notes

Finally getting back in the saddle for an update on how things have been. There was a point in this coronavirus pandemic that I would've hesitated to permanently etch the subject in the shownotes of a podcast, but now I believe this situation is large enough to warrant the small act of including it here. With multiple tournaments being cancelled, the Masters being postponed, and entire college seasons being brought to a hault, I think this is justified.

Anyway, listen up for some thoughts I've had lately 😅

46: Playing it Safe Feb 04, 2020

Show notes

The difference having a better strategy on the course can have on your long-term scores is massive. Make that decision now and look back in a decade and realize how smart of a mental switch it was.

45: Special Guest Vanderbilt Head Coach Scott Limbaugh Jan 30, 2020

Show notes

Back with another awesome conversation with a high level college coach! Well, I don't know if the conversation is awesome. At least Coach Limbaugh's half of the conversation is awesome. Why do awesome coach's keep agreeing to stoop to my level? Might never know. But listen up here because Coach Limbaugh is a down to earth, self proclaimed (and geographical) southerner, and really great, quotable, fun guy to talk to and learn from. And not to mention one of the best coaches in the country. Hope you enjoy and get something out of it!

44: My Goals for My Game in 2020 Jan 27, 2020

Show notes

We all need to set goals, and if I as a mental coach cannot set goals and hold myself accountable to those goals, then I'm really being disingenuous. So I have set goals for myself and my own golf game for this year. I hope you can learn and be able to set some realistic and some stretch goals for yourself this year as well.
