#53: There’s No One Way to Think

The Mental Golf Show ·

2020/05/04

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.

#50: Visualization Practice

The Mental Golf Show ·

2020/04/16

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

#49: When Things Feel Out of Control

The Mental Golf Show ·

2020/03/30

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. Thanks for listening! For more, head to joshnicholsgolf.com.

#48: Wrong but Committed

The Mental Golf Show ·

2020/03/24

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. Link to How Champions Think by Dr. Bob Rotella Thanks for listening! For more, head to joshnicholsgolf.com.

#47: Update Pod - Coronavirus Edition

The Mental Golf Show ·

2020/03/16

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

#45: Special Guest Vanderbilt Head Coach Scott Limbaugh

The Mental Golf Show ·

2020/01/30

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

#44: My Goals for My Game in 2020

The Mental Golf Show ·

2020/01/27

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. Thanks for listening!

#42: Leaderboard Blindness

The Mental Golf Show ·

2020/01/20

What if you never looked at a leaderboard for an entire tournament? Or purposely had no clue what you were shooting for the day? I think we've all threatened to do this, or at least posed the thought experiment. But what if you actually did it? Baylor Head Coach Mike McGraw did it with his players, and he wrote it down in his book "Better Than I Found It". Listen up and learn. And maybe you'll be compelled to experiment for yourself!

The Mental Golf Show ·

2020/01/13

I know I haven't been at this whole mental coaching thing that long relative to so many awesome, experienced coaches out there. But I do have quite a bit of playing experience under my belt. And in my own life I have learned that there is a very high correlation between high acceptance and player better. In this episode, I tell a story about how I learned acceptance twice in one competitive round of golf. Thanks for listening! For lots more, head to joshnicholsgolf.com. Have questions? Email me:

#38: Your Practice Isn’t Hard Enough

The Mental Golf Show ·

2020/01/06

Just me this time, and I want to address how so many players are too casual in their practice relative to a tournament or competition. If there is a dramatic difference in intensity from practice to tournament, then their will be a big difference in mindset as well. So here are some ways to give yourself the best opportunity to play your best when it matters. Thanks for listening! For lots more, head to joshnicholsgolf.com. Follow me!
