#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!

#40: How I learned Acceptance TWICE in one qualifier

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!

#36: The Good and the Bad of 2019

The Mental Golf Show ·

2019/12/30

This has been a really good year. When I look back over the whole year in retrospect it really looks like a roller coaster. A lot of lows where I was going through a slog of building a new business from scratch, waiting for new players to work with, and trying to think of new things to create and post. But so many highs, with a ton of newly learned skills, so many things that I created, and best of all dozens of people that I would've never talked to had I not started this venture. So long story

#34: Forget Your Goal

The Mental Golf Show ·

2019/12/23

Merry Christmas everybody! On this episode, I go through an excerpt of "Better Than I Found It" by Baylor Head Coach Mike McGraw. This particular passage struck me as so important for everyone to hear. If we can all on some level focus more on the process and less on the result then we can be more free and have more fun along the journey. Thanks for listening! For more, head to joshnicholsgolf.com.

The Mental Golf Show ·

2019/11/18

I talk with Boston University Head Women's Golf Coach Bruce Chalas to talk about his philosophies on the mental game and how individuals improve differently from each other. Coach Chalas is a counterintuitive thinker, something that a lot of golf coaches aren't because they're afraid they might say something wrong. Coach Chalas is more interested in the long-term improvement of the person rather than the short-term good scores, yet his coaching has produced some awesome results! Thank you for
