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

Today on the show we have a personal story of my own attempt to get back to health and fitness.

After pretty much living in a gym for the past 30 or so years I had major surgery and then complications which stopped me training or playing for over 3 years

With the help of Josh Leyes at Par4Success I have managed slowly to coax my body back into training.

Even to be back in the gym at all feels like a major victory

I couldn't have done any of it without the help of the guys at Par4Success

They are without doubt the best I have come across in terms of fitness and conditioning in the past 30 years

It was great to get Josh on the show

We discussed:

• The importance of taking the 4 Rotary Tests
• Why data gives you an inspiring goal to aim at
• Why functional rotation is so important
• How speed training alone can be dangerous for your body
• Are you an injury waiting to happen?
• The joy of being able to move better
• The role of the mind in effective training

A really great session with a top trainer who has helped me so much

I cannot overemphasise how important it is to take the ROTATIONAL TEST

The problem with thinking so much and more importantly BELIEVING those thoughts

Today on the Mind Caddie we have a really special guest in the shape of Dr Chris Niebauer author of the incredible books 'No Self No Problem' and 'The No Self No Problem Workbook'

Chris's work has been a really big influence on my thinking over recent times.

He paints a wonderful picture of what Golf and Life could be if we began to have a different relationship to our thinking mind.

If we could understand what our thinking mind is actually up to.

We wouldn't take it so seriously.

We wouldn't try to control our experience as much

We discuss Left Brain – Right Brain theories and how important it is to understand the differences and how it can potentially help your life

• The importance of the book 'The Master and his Emissary'
• The 'voice in the head' and why we don't have to take it so seriously
• The constant creation of stories created by the Left Brain
• Ways to GROUND yourself in the present
• Why when the mind puts effort in one direction there is a pushback in another direction
• We cannot use thinking to stop us thinking !!
• Could thought itself be the problem?

Some really fascinating insights about our mind and how it actually works. I cannot recommend Chris and his work highly enough
