Golf is full of distractions.

In this episode I want to go through two scientifically proven ways you can improve your attention span and equip you with tools to use while you’re on the course and give you the best chance to play well for a whole round, not just part of one.

One of the most common things I hear from players is how they can’t access their skill in competition. Like something comes over them when they get in a tournament.

Why does golf feel like a completely different game when it’s competitive? It’s the same clubs, same course—so why does everything change the moment the stakes go up? Today, we’re diving into the truth about pressure, where it comes from, and how embracing it can be the key to unlocking your best game. We’re going to go through what I call The Two Laws of Pressure and how they can help you play better in tournaments.

It’s the end of the year and very soon the beginning of 2025, so we’re going to talk about fitness. But before you click away, I’m not going to preach at you about getting in shape.

In this episode, Matt Myers of Nerd Fitness and I hit 3 major topics that have been huge for me: the all-or-nothing mentality, mindful eating, and systems over goals. And these aren’t strictly limited to fitness or nutrition. These principles apply to any endeavor you’d like to set out on, like any of your golf or life goals.

I'm confident you'll leave this episode with a thorough understanding of how to get and stay motivated to accomplish fitness goals, not to mention any other goal you have for 2025.
