About this episode
On this episode of The Mental Golf Show, we have Coach Nicole Erickson to discuss identity in golf, the problem with outcome-focus, managing anger and frustration, handling pressure and nerves, how to track your mental game improvement, and more. But before we get into the episode, I encourage you to go take the Mental Game Assessment. It’s a 15 minute personality quiz, but for golf. When you complete it, I’ll send you a personalized report of your results that will tell you what your mental strengths are and where you can put your effort to improve and a specific way to do it. ----- Nicole Erickson on Instagram - @coachnicole.e Nicole Erickson's website - nicoleerickson.com ----- 00:58 - Nicole Erickson 05:20 - Typical golfer struggles 07:38 - The problem with wrapping up your identity in golf 11:16 - How to be less outcome-focused 20:58 - How to manage emotions like anger and frustration 25:07 - How to handle pressure and nerves 27:36 - Controllables vs. Uncontrollables 29:30 - Tracking mental game improvement 33:31 - What percent of golf is mental and physical 34:28 - @coachnicole.e on Instagram ----- Take the Mental Game Assessment and learn your top mental game traits and your areas in most need of improvement. ----- Click here to sign up for The Mental Re-Grip ⛳️ newsletter to receive golf psychology help in your email inbox every-ish Tuesday. ----- Have a suggestion for a topic or guest?
