  • Today we have the opportunity to spend some more time with coach Kent Osborne.

    He is the author of the book ‘Scratch Attitude’

    Are you going to take ACTION and become a Certified Mind Factor coach?

    Join us for a wonderful three days in Manchester in November

    Get in touch at https://themindfactor.net/the-certification-course/

    Here is a great quote from his website

    "You see 
 before I became a golfer I was a pioneer in the executive coaching field, My experience working with professional athletes and corporate leaders revealed this truth: Feelings precede thoughts. Or, to put it differently, you can’t think positive when you feel negative."

    Kent is a good golfer in his own right and he charts his own personal experiences of the game with a big following of players.

    The first time we spoke it was clear that Kent and I shared many similar trains of thought.

    In particular the importance of JOURNALING

    We had a truly memorable conversation discussing the numerous benefits of being a regular journal taker.

    It is something we have spoken about on this show and promoted heavily in the Mind Caddie app

    We discussed

    The difference between THINKING about gratitude and actually FEELING it The ability to be playful when you are hitting your shots Why journaling can help us to balance out the overload of information that is coming at us in the modern world Why evolution got us to focus on the negative and our mistakes How our thinking patterns become so habitual and how journaling can help shift this Why BALANCE is so important from an evolutionary perspective Why journaling can help us to still get something out of a bad outcome day on the course The ability to develop spontaneous acceptance and to be able to be NEUTRAL to the variety of outcomes. The importance of acknowledging the GOOD shots and the good experiences If this was your LAST round of golf how would you want to experience it?

    So much of what Kent says is based in real world experience and makes for that most elusive of qualities common sense. When you listen to him you realise just how precious this NEXT opportunity is to play the game.

    Take the plunge and embark on a year of journaling and just see what it can do for your game.

  • The Skill of ACCEPTANCE and why it is SO important to develop – Karl Morris

    Why you will always fall short of your true capability without this skill

    Thanks for joining me on today’s Brain Booster which is a solo run from me. I wanted to take the opportunity to bring together some of the key concepts from the previous months and some of the recent guests.

    Are you going to take ACTION and become a Certified Mind Factor coach?

    Join us for a wonderful three days in Manchester in November

    Get in touch at https://themindfactor.net/the-certification-course/

    At the heart of so much of what we have been discussing is the SKILL of acceptance.

    If we are not willing to be ok with the variability of potential outcomes the game can throw at us then we will always be at less than our best.

    Acceptance is NOT resignation. We are not trying to pretend to be happy after a bad shot or a missed putt but we ARE willing to deal with the reality and move on

    So many people are sold the idea that this swing fix or this ‘secret’ will PROTECT them from a poor outcome yet in reality NOTHING will ever protect us from the need to develop a robust relationship to undesired outcomes

    Acceptance is an ongoing set of skills that requires a diligent and consistent approach Today I will share with you the building blocks of acceptance Skills that have helped many players at all levels to ACCESS their current skills Why the skill acceptance begins well before the round starts Why ‘contamination’ of your shots is such an issue The value of journaling Why making a commitment to develop acceptance is so important What acceptance does to your physiology Why the expression of your technical skill is dependent on your acceptance skills An opportunity for you to really bring together and clarify some of the key Brain Booster concepts of the previous few months HOW you can actually take action and release more of your capabilities ....Enjoy!

    Simon has spent many years interviewing and being around some of the greatest names in sport.

    People who have achieved what others may think as being the ‘ultimate’ experience

    Yet often he detected there was an underlying dissatisfaction

    Champion Thinking is a counter to the ‘success evangelism’ that is so prevalent.

    Typically, we think we’ll be happy when X happens (the job, house, relationship, World Cup win, Olympic gold medal). However, frequently people reach the top of their success Everest and feel underwhelmed or even empty.

    But the experience of flow is inherently enjoyable. Why is that? Because as thoughts about past and future drop away, so does our identity and sense of self. And we love it when that happens! The trophy is just a symbol of that moment. That’s why we love losing ourselves – in sport, music, conversation, books, dance – the portals are vast.

    While we think we want to become a ‘somebody’, we are happiest when we experience being ‘nobody’. On that level, we are always at peace, whole and fulfilled. The trick then is to embody this recognition, even when we are not 'in flow', and this book can show you how.

    This is a great conversation exploring some of the deeper topics around our experience.

    What is ‘non duality’? How can we incorporate this in our everyday life? What is the difference between our ‘thinking mind’ and our ‘observing mind’? How to create some separation from our thoughts so we don’t get so caught up in the content of our thinking What are the best way to set goals? What does make us truly happy? A really thought provoking session from someone who has been able to see through the illusion of ‘I will be happy when”

    Jim has had a BIG input on players who listen to the show and I wanted to get him back to talk at more length about a subject that is unfortunately very relevant to a LOT of golfers the YIPS.

    We had another wonderful conversation about how to dig yourself out of the doldrums if you are being affected by the yips in certain parts of the game.

    We discussed why the yips are becoming more and more prominent these days. Why an overload of technical input can be so damaging to your game How poor chipping concepts are often the cause of the yips to start Why we tend to fall into the trap of extremes Being able to find the ‘middle way’ How your unconscious mind is trying to PROTECT you from outcomes Separating your sense of self from golfing outcomes How golf can be a vehicle for psychological transformation Letting go of the sense of ‘I am not good enough’ Peer group approval and why it is hard wired into us The journey of golfing evolution The process of self contemplation

    A wonderful conversation with a truly great coach who has made such a difference to golfers and their experience of the game

    Today we have a wonderful conversation with Jay Carter who is the National Coach of the New Zealand golf team.

    Why does New Zealand punch above its weight in terms of producing great sports men and women?

    The influence of the ALL BLACKS

    It was a very open conversation about his own struggles as a player and some of the deep thinking he has done about what actually makes a difference to players who want to make the very best out of their development

    Why context is so important and how the brain responds differently depending on the environment you are in

    The limitations of data taken out of context The need for curiosity and exploration Why your IDENTITY as a golfer is so important and will influence everything you do Being clear WHO you are What have been your influences? What about your ancestry? Your culture? Can you see golf as an opportunity to explore? Can you be creative with what you do in your TRAINING? Could you get out onto the golf course with more purpose and engagement? Why do people make such good progress in Martial Arts and yet often stay the same in golf? Separating SKILL from technique Ryan Fox and the influence of the conversations around the All Blacks

    A really interesting conversation with a top coach who is passionately involved in trying to help golfers get better.

    Raymond and I collaborated on what we believe to be a ground breaking project called ‘Building Stable Confidence’

    It is a program that has had wonderful reviews and could be a wonderful assistance this year to help you get the best from your game.

    During the webinar we discussed the key concept of

    ‘Separating SELF from CRAFT’

    How can we develop the capability to create some space between our capability as a golfer and our self image as a human being

    How being ‘concerned’ about our value as a human is tied to our evolutionary development

    The early messages we receive as youngsters from important people around us and how this can weave into our identity

    The need to develop a ‘SAFE PLACE’ to play from How our performance can become a THREAT to our identity How this leads to unstable confidence Why your relationship to the game can become so toxic

    The necessity to ask yourself the question ‘Why do I play golf?’ Not to take your initial answer but to look deeper to what is REALLY important to you

    What are your INTRINSIC and SELF DIRECTED values to play the game? Challenging your core BELIEFS to see if they REALLY work for you The fragility of EXTRINSIC values and why you can never ‘get enough’ The need to JOURNAL your experiences and why that is so important What am I committed to TODAY? Think about WHY you play golf WHEN you play golf Being INTENTIONAL and on purpose

  • Today on the Brain Booster we are joined by an extraordinarily special guest Dr Ellen Langer

    Dr Langer has been one of the most influential people in the world of psychology over the past 40 years

    She was the first female tenured professor in psychology at Harvard

    Has written numerous books

    She has conducted so many incredible experiments, most notably the ‘counterclockwise’ experiment where she had older men go into a ‘pod’ that took them back to their younger selves.

    The results as we find out today were extraordinary

    She has been studying Mindfulness for the past 35 years and makes clear that mindfulness is NOT meditation

    Mindfulness is being aware of what is ACTUALLY happening as opposed to what we think is happening based on our auto pilot responses

    Why we need to realise that we DON’T know How our assumptions keep constantly tricking us How research only gives us PROBABILITIES not absolutes The ‘counterclockwise’ study and the amazing possibilities that open up Is ageing a direct consequence of our beliefs surrounding what we believe SHOULD be happening? Can we think ourselves WELL? Can we think ourselves SICK? What living a mindful life looks like

    We delve further into the nature of experience and how it is all generated by your thinking

    The Lost Art of Golf 2 day school at Archerfield Links with Karl Morris and Gary Nicol

    The ULTIMATE interactive learning experience at the ULTIMATE location

    Andy is very prolific on Twitter/X

    His main message is that he offers the opportunity to develop your game without using lots of mental game strategies and techniques

    Why we fall into the trap of focusing too much on the CONTENT of our thinking This often actually creates the opposite effect of actually making the mind even busier What could we put our faith in that will have some longevity? What is the true nature of thought? What is actually creating our experience BEFORE the content of our thinking?

    The difference between having a clear INTENTION about the shot as opposed to falling into the trap of thinking ‘what does this shot say about me?’

    How we hang on to our ‘personal thinking’ Changing our relationship to what the game actually means The ability to ‘stay in the game’ Why trying to ‘fix’ our thinking can be so detrimental A really interesting session with a coach working with players at all levels of the game

How is it accessed

    The Lost Art of Golf 2 day school at Archerfield Links with Karl Morris and Gary Nicol

    The ULTIMATE interactive learning experience at the ULTIMATE location

    Today a slightly different show with a solo effort from myself. I have had a few people ask me recently to clarify some of the key ideas from the Mind factor trainings so here we go.

    What path are you ACTUALLY on?

    Could you embark on a ‘path to mastery’ as opposed to being on a path of fear, anxiety and avoidance?

    What game are you ACTUALLY playing? How is the game of golf occurring for you? Are you allowing golf to be a judgement on your VALUE as a person? Does the golf course appear as a threat or an opportunity? How can you change your ‘story’? A story that is holding you back What do you want to really experience with your game? Understanding what TRUE GRATITUDE actually is Why gratitude is a PERFORMANCE state

    In this short session we explore some really important territory and ask some question that are not ordinarily asked of golfers.

    Yet if we don’t ask these questions we will NEVER get to the real source of performance and perhaps more importantly what is holding that performance back.

    We discussed in great detail perhaps the most overlooked opportunity to improve your game.

    The 90% of golf that isn’t golf!!

    We spend so much of our golfing time NOT playing golf and yet how many golfers really look into what is happening during this time and HOW they can maximise their experience?

    I have long contended that the quality of what you do in the 90% will have a DIRECT influence on what you do when it comes to play your shots.

    We discussed:

    The value of being EXTERNAL in between shots Making a conscious decision to connect with the beauty of the golf course Connecting and coming to your SENSES The connection with the ‘Power of NOW’ Losing your absorption in your own SELF Connecting with other people and how this can cross over into your life Your behaviour in between shots and how this becomes totally unconscious The pace of you walk and the ‘Mind Body’ connection The danger of focusing too much on OUTCOMES

    How tuning into your external world helps you LISTEN to the golf course. Being attuned to your ENVIRONMENT and then being able to RESPOND to that environment

    The value of good conversation and being WIDE with your focus The feeling of ‘lightness’ and how that can help you get into the shot Moe Norman and ‘positive indifference’ Random reinforcement syndrome – what is it and why do we fall into its trap

    It is such a pleasure to speak to Jim

    He has such a wonderful INTENTION to help golfers

    You can only benefit from is wonderful wisdom.
