About this episode
Send us a text Unlock the secrets to mastering your golf mindset and transform your performance both on and off the course! In this episode of the Flag Hunters Golf Podcast, we are joined by the insightful Paul Salter, a performance coach and licensed hypnotherapist from Tampa, Florida. Paul shares his expertise on overcoming subconscious fears and anxieties that can't be outworked on the practice range. Learn how emotional triggers like a bad shot or a competitor's success can activate destructive mindset programs, and discover practical strategies to change belief patterns and improve self-talk for enhanced performance and enjoyment of the game. Imagine reprogramming your mind by shedding outdated beliefs and fears that hinder your progress. Paul introduces the concept of de-hypnotizing ourselves, with a focus on becoming process-oriented rather than results-oriented. Using examples from top athletes like Scotty Shuffler, Paul explains how surrendering to the process fosters confidence and peace. Through hypnotherapy, maladaptive thoughts can be identified and reprogrammed, enabling the creation of new neural pathways and a significant paradigm shift. This transformation not only improves your mental game but also boosts your overall performance. Our conversation takes a deep dive into the emotional intricacies of self-sabotage and unconscious reactions, especially in the context of golf. Paul emphasizes the critical role of shifting from unconscious reactions to conscious responses, using techniques like hypnosis and pattern interrupts. We discuss the importance of teaching these skills early in life to leverage the malleability of young minds. By addressing hidden mental blocks and overcoming the fear of success and scarcity mindsets, golfers can break free from self-sabotage and elevate their game to new heights.
