On today's show we have a unique combination of two of the game's foremost thinkers and coaches Jon Sherman and Adam Young.

They host the fabulous podcast 'The Sweet Spot' which I have been fortunate to be a guest on a few times.

Adam Young is the author of the 'Practice Manual' and Jon Sherman is the author of 'Four Foundations of Golf'

We had a fabulous conversation about how to REALLY make a difference to your game

• We discussed the Big Three of Impact
• The non negotiables
• Face Orientation
• Strike Location
• Ground Contact
• The difference between focusing on Micro and Macro in coaching
• How the genius lies with the student not the coach
• Why it is easier to sell a 'swing system' than giving the power to the student
• Know what you are signing up for if you are working on MACRO changes
• Getting to the 'scene of the crime' with impact
• Understanding the power of INTENTION
• Can you do the process as a student
• What is ACTUALLY happening at impact
• Keeping track of your impact patterns
• Being open to what you HAVE today as opposed to what you WISH you had
• Understanding how you need to change your questions to change your game.
• A ground breaking conversation with two wonderful coaches
• Are YOU going to be brave enough to keep it simple?

Today on the Mind Caddie we welcome back one of our most popular guests and coaches Dr Raymond Prior.

Raymond is carving a reputation at the very highest levels of the game as one of the world's best Performance Psychologists

His book 'Golf Beneath The Surface' has gained critical acclaim from both players and coaches alike

It is an absolute necessity in any players library

On today's show we had a wonderful conversation about the role of our brain in performance and what it is actually doing to us when we feel anxiety

The importance of understanding this cannot be overstated

We discussed:

• Why our brain is really concerned primarily with PROTECTING us from OUTCOMES
• What is REALLY holding you back
• Priority NO 1 is to help you SURVIVE
• The PERCEPTION of threat and how it manifests in golf
• The OVERESTIMATING negative outcomes is a brain working perfectly
• Why our prehistoric brain is essentially out of date
• The 3 stages of ANXIETY and what to do about it
• Why ACCEPTANCE is the ultimate mental game skill to develop

We had a great conversation as usual about all things golf but in particular how to get the very best from your winter training

• Stop searching and start building
• Take stock of what ACTUALLY happened in your season
• How did you move this year?
• How efficient is your physiology?
• The power of 10 and how you can compound improvement
• Start from where you are with incremental steps
• Where are the GAPS in your statistics?
• Are you putting too much curve on the ball?
• How is your LOW POINT control
• Pace yourself with your improvement
• The trap of ambition and the myth of the END GOAL
• Every day do GOOD WORK
• Take action and DO what you need to do
• Energy management over time management

A great conversation with a TOP CLASS COACH
