  • Ep. 18: The Ultimate Skill: How Mental Focus Transforms Performance - Joel Turner Shot IQ Mind IQ
    2024/10/26

    In this episode, Landon Michelson sits down with Joel Turner, creator of Shot IQ and Mind IQ, to explore the transformative power of mental training for athletes. Known for his revolutionary approach to handling performance anxiety and refining motor skills, Joel shares his insights on how shooters, archers, and golfers alike can benefit from conscious decision-making, speech-based focus techniques, and understanding open vs. closed loop systems in sports.

    Key topics include:

    • The psychology of performance anxiety and Joel’s approach to overcoming "target panic" in shooting—paralleled to the golfer’s struggle with the “yips.”
    • Open and closed loop control systems: how golfers can use these principles to adjust their swing and improve consistency.
    • The concept of “getting loud in your head” and how conscious self-talk can help athletes remain focused, even under intense pressure.
    • Practical applications of Shot IQ and Mind IQ for golfers, as well as Joel's insights on how conscious attention to detail can help athletes build repeatable, reliable performances.
    • Gender differences in perception and vision in sports, and how these nuances can influence performance.

    Listen in to discover how to apply these groundbreaking mental techniques in your game, develop a stronger mindset, and take control of your performance.

  • Ep. 17 Intersection of Fear and Anxiety - Dr. Michael Lardon University of California, San Diego
    2024/10/22

    In this episode of the Connected Instructor podcast, I sit down with Dr. Michael Lardon, a renowned sports psychiatrist and mental performance coach. We dive into Dr. Lardon's fascinating background, his unique approach to sports psychology, and what it takes to truly understand the needs of athletes.

    We cover a range of topics, from balancing the demands placed on athletes with creating a supportive environment, to how parenting styles can shape athletic success. Dr. Lardon also provides insightful strategies for managing anxiety and fear during high-pressure moments.

    A key part of our discussion revolves around the mental side of competitive sports, especially golf. Dr. Lardon explains how mastering anxiety, developing effective pre-shot routines, and using mental scorecards to track performance can make all the difference in your game. He also shares a new mental training tool designed specifically to help golfers elevate their performance.

    • Understand each athlete’s unique needs. Every athlete is different, and recognizing those differences is essential for growth.
    • Balancing pressure and support is key to effective coaching.
    • Parenting styles have a significant influence on an athlete’s drive and determination.
    • Anxiety can be a tool in small doses, helping athletes reach peak performance.
    • Fear vs. Anxiety: Fear is primal, while anxiety is a normal response to pressure, but understanding the distinction is critical.
    • Listening to athletes is one of the most important things a coach can do.
    • Managing anxiety isn’t about avoiding it; it’s about embracing it to improve performance.
    • The mental game is as important as the physical game. Relaxation techniques and desensitization help athletes thrive in competition.
    • Pre-shot routines are essential for consistency.
    • The left brain and right brain play distinct roles in decision-making, and understanding this balance can lead to more successful shots.
    • The mental scorecard is a valuable tool for tracking performance and mental processes, which can boost success rates.
    • Discipline in mental training leads to better outcomes in competitive environments.
    • Transitioning between mental states helps maintain focus during gameplay.
    • Playing under pressure can actually make the game more enjoyable.
