Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Mental Trap That Creates the Yips w/ Jason Kuhn
Q: What practical steps should a golfer take to start overcoming the yips?
Start with a dry-fire routine, identify a single cue, practice very small movements, reward the feeling, and progressively expose yourself to realistic conditions while keeping a clear focus on the cue and maintaining identification with a broader purpose.
The Mental Trap That Creates the Yips w/ Jason Kuhn
Q: What exactly are the yips and what aren't they?
The yips are involuntary muscle contractions due to subconscious threat perception, not a simple mental weakness; they involve both mechanics and subconscious nervous-system responses, and require training that addresses both physical cues and emotional factors.
The Mental Trap That Creates the Yips w/ Jason Kuhn
Q: Tell us a little bit about who you are and what your story is.
Kuhn describes his background from baseball to Navy SEALs, then becoming a performance coach focusing on the yips, reverse-engineering the problem, and helping athletes like Lucas Glover overcome it through a cue-based, cue-focused dry-fire approach.
The Art of Looking Ahead & Setting Goals w/ Kent Osbourne (Part 2)
Q: What's a productive place to start when looking ahead?
Determine what memories and experiences in the past support your goals for the future.
Why Trying Not to Think About Your Score Makes Golf Harder
Q: How do you not think about your score while you play?
Accept the fact that you'll think about your score, but focus on other aspects of your game such as your routine and strategy instead.
