Fear of Failure 

Is your motivation to succeed in golf (or life!) embedded in a fear of not succeeding or not performing to the best of your ability?Or in other words, do you want to do well to avoid failing?

Golfers need to understand HOW to engage in golf practice so that golf swing changes stick and eventually transfer to the golf course. 

“What golf ball do I need?”

This used to be a fairly simple question, which the pro in your local shop could answer almost at once, with only the most cursory knowledge of your game.  

Neurofeedback is a relatively recent addition to the range of psychological techniques and mental training exercises which athletes from many different sports have used to try and gain a competitive edge.

But already a significant number of elite sporting organizations swear by its benefits, including top European soccer teams and national Olympic teams.

The FocusBand is an EEG device designed to help golfers train their brain to get into a state conducive of high perfromance. 

From his distinctive Hogan-style cap to his unusual single-plane swing, from his controversial putter to his single length irons, there’s little that’s conventional about Bryson DeChambeau.

But as much as golf’s favorite “mad scientist” may amuse and baffle the purists, there’s no doubting the success of his methods.

There are hundreds of golf coaching certifications about how to move the golf club, but very few on how golfers can actually learn these movements in a way that makes them stick!

When searching for a golf coaching certification GLT would highly recommend that aspiring coaches do their homework. At GLT we are very passionate about evidence led coaching, therefore we would recommend that golf coaches look for certifications that are research based. 

When the air turns frigid and the fairways freeze, golfers must head for cover to hone their skills. While hitting indoors is better than sitting around idly, firing shot after shot into the net is hardly an ideal golf practice routine.

Although many golfers choose the winter, or offseason, as the appropriate time to pursue technical improvements to their swing motion. However, we never recommend following a golf practice routine focused solely on technical growth. Furthermore, the brain is not designed for repetition during golf practice - or any other time.
