Unstuck: Performance Coaching for Lower Scores and Greater Joy

Send us a text Tim O'Connor shares his journey from golf-obsessed amateur to performance coach, revealing how the mental game is often what separates good players from great ones. • Getting into golf initially as a caddy, observing and learning from scratch players • Moving from technical, "tab A into slot B" approaches to more instinctual, joy-focused golf • Understanding that mistaking the golf ball for the target creates unnecessary tension • Recognizing how we typically view golf as a test of competency rather than an experience • Exploring "inside-out thinking" and finding happiness from within rather than external results • Balancing competitive drive with present-moment awareness • Learning to embrace negative thoughts rather than fighting them • Using awareness as a curative tool to diffuse performance anxiety • Practicing "quiet mind" putting by simply enjoying your stroke without technical thoughts Find Tim at www.oconnorgolf.com and follow his blog "Up and Down" on Substack, or listen to his podcast "Swing Thoughts" now in its 10th year.
