In this episode, Alyssa and Nadia have an honest conversation about Nadia's journey toward medical school and what it really means to become a physician in today's healthcare system.Alyssa, a physical therapist, shares her concerns after hearing countless patient complaints about their experiences with doctors — from rushed appointments to feeling unheard. She worries about the challenges Nadia will face: the difficulty of getting into medical school, the grueling training process, and the weight of patient expectations that can leave even the best doctors feeling like they've failed.Nadia responds with remarkable clarity about her motivations. She discusses why she's drawn to treating a broader range of illnesses beyond musculoskeletal issues, why nursing and PA programs don't feel like the right fit for her, and how her public health background is preparing her to be a more compassionate, team-oriented provider. They explore what makes a good doctor — from communication skills to humility about working with other healthcare professionals.The conversation touches on systemic issues: why there's a doctor shortage despite months-long wait times, how the healthcare system often works against physicians, and the pressure of being put on a pedestal while having only minutes with each patient. But it also celebrates the possibility of excellence, with Alyssa sharing a story about an exceptional obstetrician who exemplified what patient-centered care looks like.This is a vulnerable, thoughtful discussion about career paths, healthcare challenges, and the determination it takes to pursue a calling despite knowing all the obstacles ahead.TakeawaysGetting into medical school is extremely competitive, even as we face a doctor shortageThe path to becoming a physician is long and demanding — but it acts as a filter for those truly committedPatients often feel disappointed by rushed appointments and communication gaps with their doctorsSystemic issues (limited appointment times, administrative burdens) often aren't the doctor's faultGood doctors communicate clearly, show compassion, and work well with the entire healthcare teamHaving a public health background and allied health family members provides valuable perspectiveAcademic strength and motivation are crucial — medical school rewards those who are good at schoolBeing a good provider means making the most of whatever time you have with patientsThe most important qualities: confidence, clear communication, respect for colleagues, and patient-first thinkingChapters0:10–1:30 – Introduction: A Sister's Concerns About Medical School1:31–3:33 – Concern #1: The Challenge of Getting In3:34–7:24 – Exploring Alternatives: DO Programs, International Schools, PA & NP Paths7:25–9:28 – What Draws Nadia to Medicine vs. Other Healthcare Careers9:29–11:56 – Why Not Nursing or PA?

Setting and Managing Expectations - Mike CohnMy first Scrum project was incredibly successful, yet it was almost a failure.All of the technical aspects of the project were going extremely well. We were ahead of schedule, stress and scalability tests showed that we'd exceed uptime and reliability goals. Everyone on the team was having fun and doing their best work.The problem was that user expectations had been growing faster than the functionality being developed.The project was call center software to be used by hundreds of nurses initially, scaling to thousands. Nurses would use the system to triage patients, provide advice, dispatch emergency personnel when needed and so on.In monthly sprint reviews with the nurse users, I was routinely shocked by what they'd come to expect, some of which wasn't even technically feasible. With about three months left on the year-long project, I realized my focus had to change. From then on, I spent almost all of my time on expectations management.I met with nurses in each of the call centers and described exactly what would and would not be in the delivered system. I toned down their expectations about the system's impact on world peace, global warming, and personal weight loss.Had I not done this, the product would have been perceived as a failure.Since that project, I have been acutely aware of the importance of expectations management to the overall success of any project. Setting and managing expectations is perhaps even more important when an organization seeks to adopt or improve its agility.With agile improvement efforts, I find it helpful to set and manage expectations about four things: How quickly teams will improveHow long it will take to gain additional predictability from the team's new way of workingHow there will almost always come a time when turning back looks easier than sticking with itThe level of involvement in the transition that will be necessary from various stakeholders and organization leadersBy properly setting expectations you can avoid the problem of having an otherwise successful transition or project sunk by unrealistic expectations,How to connect with AgileDad:- [website] https://www.agiledad.com/- [instagram] https://www.instagram.com/agile_coach/- [facebook] https://www.facebook.com/RealAgileDad/- [Linkedin] https://www.linkedin.com/in/leehenson/

Summary The meeting was day three of a launch week focused on complications in surgery, presented by a surgeon who is also an author, podcast host, and certified coach. The presenter emphasized that complications are inevitable in surgical practice and provided guidance on how to manage them effectively. The presenter began by outlining the main topics to be covered: understanding what a complication is, perfectionist thinking, asking for help, the prolonged stress cycle, self-compassion, managing negative emotions, shame resilience, confidence and self-confidence, and peer review assessment. The presenter defined a complication as a failure to achieve a stated outcome, specifically a perfect procedure where nothing goes wrong. They addressed perfectionist thinking as a double-edged sword - while striving for perfection is admirable, it can lead to fear, overwork, and burnout. The presenter recommended shifting perspective from focusing on the gap between achievement and perfection to celebrating the best effort given with available knowledge and resources. The prolonged stress cycle was discussed as a significant issue for surgeons, where continuous stress without recovery leads to cognitive impairment, decreased empathy, irritability, anxiety, depression, and potentially self-harm. The presenter offered strategies to interrupt this cycle, including deep breathing, music, exercise, mindset work, and community support. For managing complications during surgery, the presenter advised checking one's pulse, taking deep breaths, stepping back to think, asking for help, and considering the next best step. They emphasized the importance of clear communication with partners about expectations when asking for help. After a complication, the presenter stressed the importance of naming emotions, practicing self-compassion, and using shame resilience strategies: reaching out to trusted sources, talking kindly to oneself, and owning the story to control the narrative. They highlighted that patients primarily want to know what happened, that the surgeon did their best, that they won't be abandoned, and that learning occurred from the experience. The presenter also discussed peer review processes, advising surgeons to control the narrative in medical charts, respond non-defensively to inquiries, and seek legal counsel if necessary. They emphasized the importance of measuring outcomes and knowing one's numbers to build confidence. The session concluded with advice on debriefing with teams and communicating with patients' families after complications, emphasizing the need to address emotional concerns before providing technical details. Chapters Introduction to Complications in Surgery ‎ 00:00:00 The presenter welcomed attendees to day three of launch week, focusing on complications in surgery. They acknowledged that while complications may seem like a heavy topic, it's important because all surgeons will experience them. The presenter introduced themselves as a surgeon, author, podcast host, and certified coach, emphasizing that complications are "near and dear to their heart." They outlined the main topics to be covered: what a complication is, perfectionist thinking, asking for help, the prolonged stress cycle, self-compassion, managing negative emotions, shame resilience, confidence and self-confidence, and peer review assessment. Understanding Complications and Perfectionist Thinking ‎ 00:01:46 The presenter began by addressing two common statements about surgical complications: "The only surgeon who doesn't have complications is the one who doesn't operate" and "Every surgeon carries within himself a small cemetery where from time to time he goes to pray." They defined a complication as a failure to achieve a stated outcome - specifically, a perfect procedure. The presenter discussed perfectionist thinking as a double-edged sword, explaining that while striving for perfection seems admirable, it can lead to fear, overwork, and burnout. They recommended shifting perspective from focusing on the gap between achievement and perfection (e.g., achieving 95% vs. 100%) to celebrating the best effort given with available knowledge and resources. The Prolonged Stress Cycle ‎ 00:07:17 The presenter explained how surgeons often experience prolonged stress cycles without recovery, especially when dealing with complications, hostile work environments, or difficult patients. They emphasized that surgical jobs are inherently difficult, stating "Our jobs are hard. Not everyone can do it." When stress continues without relief, it can lead to rumination, hypervigilance, isolation, impaired cognitive function, decreased empathy, irritability, anxiety, depression, and potentially self-harm. The presenter recommended strategies to interrupt this cycle, including deep breathing (especially exhaling), music, exercise, mindset work through neuroplasticity, and community support. Managing Complications During Surgery ‎ 00:11:25 For handling complications during surgery, the presenter advised: checking one's pulse first, taking deep breaths to interrupt the stress cycle, stepping back to think about what you know, asking for help, and considering the next best step. They used the analogy of viewing a maze from above versus being inside it to illustrate the importance of perspective. The presenter emphasized that how a surgeon responds during a complication influences everyone in the operating room, as they are all experiencing stress and looking to the surgeon for leadership. Asking for Help and Managing Expectations ‎ 00:13:51 The presenter discussed the importance of clear communication when asking for help, emphasizing understanding both your expectations and your partner's expectations. They shared examples of misunderstandings, such as a junior surgeon expecting a senior partner to scrub in during a complication while the senior partner was hesitant to appear to be taking over. The presenter advised explicitly stating what you need: "If you're the person in the operation and you want them to scrub in, just say, 'Hey, I really need you, can you scrub in?'" They also addressed "want mismatches" where partners have different expectations and recommended finding alternative sources of help if necessary. After the Complication: Managing Emotions ‎ 00:18:51 The presenter emphasized the importance of naming emotions after a complication occurs, describing it as learning a new language of emotional intelligence. They discussed "emotional alchemy" - the ability to transform one emotion into another, particularly distinguishing between guilt ("I feel bad that this event happened") and shame ("I feel bad because there's something wrong with me"). The presenter introduced Brené Brown's shame resilience framework: reaching out to trusted sources, talking kindly to oneself (self-compassion), and owning the story to control the ending. They explained self-compassion as "feeling a negative emotion and wrapping it up in love and respect for yourself." Communicating with Patients After Complications ‎ 00:24:51 The presenter shared insights about what patients want after complications: to know what happened while they were asleep, to know the surgeon did their best, to feel they won't be abandoned, and to know the surgeon learned from the experience. They emphasized the importance of giving complications purpose and using them as learning opportunities. The presenter advised being present with patients, acknowledging the reality of what happened, and providing certainty and stability during a confusing time. Peer Review and Professional Consequences ‎ 00:27:12 The presenter discussed peer review processes, acknowledging that surgeons have reason to be concerned but emphasizing that the goal should be quality improvement and patient safety. They advised controlling the narrative in medical charts by clearly documenting decision-making processes. The presenter outlined possible peer review outcomes: no action (sometimes even congratulations for handling difficult situations well), education/questioning, remediation requirements, or more serious consequences like privilege restrictions or National Data Bank reporting. They advised not signing anything without careful consideration and possibly consulting a lawyer if serious concerns arise. Building Confidence Despite Complications ‎ 00:33:48 The presenter distinguished between confidence ("I know I can do it because I've already done it") and self-confidence (the ability to take chances, stretch oneself, and manage failure). They recommended breaking down complex procedures into components, recognizing that surgeons typically know 95% of what they need to do, with only 5% requiring special focus. The presenter emphasized the importance of measuring outcomes and knowing one's numbers (complication rates, case volumes, etc.) to build confidence and counter drama with facts: "Information is the best solution when you have drama. Math always settles down drama." Debriefing with Teams and Families ‎ 00:41:54 In response to audience questions, the presenter discussed the importance of debriefing with both teams and patients' families after complications. For families, they advised leading with emotional reassurance before providing technical details: "First, I know things took a little longer, but everything is okay." For team debriefs, they recommended acknowledging everyone's efforts, discussing what went well and what could have gone better, and identifying next steps. The presenter also endorsed proactively reporting complications to administrators rather than waiting to be discovered: "Don't give into that kind of suffering... You're going to decrease the amount of suffering that you're going to have by doing that." Action Items The presenter recommended shifting perspective from focusing on the gap between achievement and perfection to celebrating the best effort given with available knowledge and resources. ‎ 00:05:54 The presenter advised interrupting the stress cycle through deep breathing (especially exhaling), music, exercise, mindset work, and community support. ‎ 00:09:51 The presenter suggested discussing expectations with partners before complications occur to establish when and how to call for help. ‎ 00:14:47 The presenter recommended explicitly stating needs when asking for help: "If you're the person in the operation and you want them to scrub in, just say, 'Hey, I really need you, can you scrub in?'" ‎ 00:15:59 The presenter advised practicing shame resilience by reaching out to trusted sources, talking kindly to oneself, and owning the story to control the ending. ‎ 00:21:54 The presenter suggested controlling the narrative in medical charts by clearly documenting decision-making processes. ‎ 00:28:01 The presenter recommended not signing anything without careful consideration and possibly consulting a lawyer if serious concerns arise during peer review. ‎ 00:32:14 The presenter advised measuring personal outcomes and knowing one's numbers (complication rates, case volumes, etc.) to build confidence. ‎ 00:36:37 The presenter suggested debriefing with teams after complications using a simple assessment: three things that went well, three things that could have gone better, and next steps. ‎ 00:45:24 The presenter recommended proactively reporting complications to administrators rather than waiting to be discovered. ‎ 00:48:38

In this episode of the Child Anxiety FAQ Podcast, we've got a listener's question about handling backsliding in anxious children. I emphasize that backsliding is a natural part of managing anxiety, particularly during times of increased stress, such as the end of summer and the beginning of the school year. I explain that children with anxious brains are more prone to see negativity and potential disaster, and learning to manage anxiety is an ongoing process. I discuss various scenarios that may trigger backsliding and advise parents to reframe it as an opportunity to reinforce coping skills rather than viewing it as a regression. I also highlight the importance of supporting children through these periods and being kind to both the child and oneself. I encourage listeners to consider the context of their child's backsliding and offers guidance on how to navigate these challenging times.00:00 Introduction to the Child Anxiety FAQ Podcast00:29 Understanding Backsliding in Anxious Children04:46 Reframing Backsliding as Progress05:28 Common Triggers for Backsliding06:56 Managing Expectations and Support08:45 Handling Stressful Situations and Behaviors10:32 Consistency and Flexibility in Parenting12:28 Conclusion and How to Submit Questions

Today's conversation comes straight from our Q&A series, where I answer real questions from listeners.Andrea wrote in to share about an ongoing struggle with her 10-year-old daughter. She describes her as a “gladiator,” strong-willed, demanding, and often wanting everything her way. These traits can make family events stressful, sometimes leading to meltdowns and blow-ups that derail the day.With a trip to the theme park on the horizon, Andrea wanted to know: How do you prepare and set things up so the whole family has a better experience, even with a gladiator child on board?In this episode, I'll share practical strategies to help you set expectations ahead of time, manage transitions during the day, and create a plan that supports both your gladiator and the rest of the family. Because yes, family trips don't have to be a battle. With a few intentional steps, you can help your gladiator child feel more grounded while protecting the joy of the day for everyone.Jennifer's Takeaways:Introduction to the Episode and Andrea's Question (00:00)Understanding Neuro Spicy Kids and Their Behavior (01:38)Managing Expectations and Pre-Planning (02:52)Divide and Conquer Strategy (05:23)Handling Overwhelm and Making Choices (07:59)Dealing with Tantrums and Leaving Early (11:43)Meet Jennifer KolariJennifer Kolari is the host of the “Connected Parenting” weekly podcast and the co-host of “The Mental Health Comedy” podcast.

Why did you start your podcast? Was it for money, passion, or both? Today, we play a TikTok clip from the Okay Sister Pod that lays out three honest tips for launching a show. Their takes sparked a lively debate. Some agreed that podcasting shouldn't begin with money as the goal, while others argued that it is possible to earn if you approach it with a clear plan and treat it like a business. We also discuss the reality of low early downloads, why consistency matters more than a weekly schedule, and how to reframe your analytics. To close out the week, we keep our Friday tradition alive by sharing and celebrating wins from our community.Episode Highlights: [03:21] TikTok Clip: Okay Sister Pod Launch Tips[06:00] Don't Do It for the Money Debate[09:00] Business Plans, Sponsorships, and Monetization[13:00] Why Podcasting Is Harder Than It Looks[26:00] Slow Growth and Managing Expectations[36:00] Consistency and Communication [41:00] Friday WinsLinks & Resources: Join The Empowered Podcasting Facebook Group:www.facebook.com/groups/empoweredpodcasting⁠Get Your Tickets for The Empowered Podcasting Conference:www.empoweredpodcasting.comClip From Okay Sister Pod:www.tiktok.com/@okaysisterpod/video/7362940797903310122It's Amanda Yoa:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/its-amanda-yoa/id1646444562ReThinking Podcasting by Matt Bliss:https://rethinkingpodcasting.com/episode/alive-internet-theory-and-actually-seeing-your-listenersLate Bloomer Living by Yvonne Marchese:https://www.latebloomerliving.com/Remember to rate, follow, share, and review our podcast.

There is no guarantee on race day.  Anything can happen, no matter how perfect or imperfect your build was. In fact, one of our favorite race mantras is: "Show up and see what you've got," which acknowledges the fact that the only thing you can do on race day is your best. We all have race day energy, nerves, and—most of all—expectations. Sometimes we might be afraid to voice our goals out loud, for fear we will not meet them or they will weigh us down. In this episode, we dig into the art of managing and embracing expectations so they become a source of strength, not stress. We dive into how to make realistic race goals and  how to change them on the fly.  We talk about your athlete personality might be a part of the way you react to the lead up to a race or a disappointing performance.  There is a lot to unpack in this one!

Today marks the 2-year anniversary of my divorce.   While some days and weeks seemed to pass excruciatingly slowly, the last two years also seem to have passed in the blink of an eye.  I truly feel like a radically different person than I was 3 years ago.  But so often we grossly underestimate how much mental and emotional work goes into changing a belief at the core.  Which means there will be seasons of life (months or even years) that will be focused more on healing and personal growth, instead of weight loss.  The key is to not be upset or frustrated with yourself if you're in a season of healing and personal growth, and the scale may not be moving as quickly as you'd like.  Join me for this conversation about how to recognize what phase you're in and how to hold space if you are in a season of healing, and trust that your weight loss season will come.    When you're ready for extra support in navigating both of these seasons of life, I'd love to chat.

In Episode 13 last year, I covered some of what I discussed in my free webinar series, Become Your Horse's Healer.We have a replay of that episode today, so tune in to learn how to reset your expectations for your horse's health.Understanding Healing PatternsHorses usually respond to healing programs in four different ways. Some horses respond positively to a new program and show rapid improvement. Others experience a temporary worsening of their conditions as their bodies start the healing process, often marked by fatigue or increased inflammation. Some horses show initial improvement followed by a later setback, while others progress gradually.Emotional and Physical Health InterplayHealing is a complex journey that involves physical, emotional, spiritual, and mental health. In addition to addressing their physical symptoms, owners must understand the emotional aspects that might impact their horse's well-being. Challenges may arise when a horse's physical and emotional health are misaligned. Recognizing all the interconnected elements is essential for comprehensive care and successful healing.Setting Realistic Expectations and GoalsIt is essential to set realistic expectations at the start of a health journey. Each horse has a unique healing trajectory, and patience is paramount. Making rushed decisions due to having unrealistic expectations could lead to setbacks. Owners need to acknowledge their horse's individuality, taking their age, constitution, and any chronic conditions they may have into account. Horses with a more robust constitution and those at risk due to breed characteristics may respond differently. Understanding these factors allows owners to tailor their expectations and approaches accordingly. Setting achievable goals and celebrating small victories allow owners to navigate the healing process with more of a positive mindset.Addressing Obstacles to RecoveryIn some instances, despite your well-intentioned efforts, obstacles may still hinder your horse's progress. So it is crucial to identify physical and emotional sources of toxicity or address the lifestyle factors that impede the healing process. Gradual changes, observation, and responsiveness to the horse's cues help create a more effective healing environment.Chronic Nature of Diseases and Pathology Chronic diseases in horses are particularly challenging. Conditions such as side bone, ring bone, and bone remodeling in the feet or joints that show tissue changes complicate issues. Horse owners must learn to distinguish inflammation from degeneration because once tissues (especially bone) start changing, it complicates recovery. Setting realistic expectations is crucial for determining whether or not full recovery is possible. Genetic Predispositions and Melanomas Genetic predispositions, like melanomas or related conditions, impact a horse's health. (White and grey horses often have melanomas due to genetic factors.) Improvement is possible in those cases, especially when owners can recognize the genes that influence the disease expression. Managing a horse's diet, nutrition, and lifestyle is crucial for modulating genetic expression and switching off detrimental genes to mitigate their effects.Constitution and Environmental Factors The constitution of a horse is influenced by factors starting in the womb. In some horses, constitutional weaknesses show up as susceptibility to allergies or illnesses. With proper care, strengthening a horse's constitution is possible. With certain breeds, especially easy-keepers that are predisposed to conditions like insulin resistance, owners may need to tailor their expectations to incorporate genetic and environmental factors.Managing Expectations for Aging...

Episode 94 – Client Education and Managing Expectations   Wow, this turned into a bit of a philosophical episode… because these are topics I have been thinking about and contemplating a lot lately. What is it that actually creates a positive outcome in the Veterinary Behaviour Medicine World? Of course, behaviour change in the patient is an important part, but what about a shift in the expectations, beliefs and understanding of the caregiver? How important is this in creating a successful outcome?   In this episode I touch on managing expectations and how some of my cases have massively turned around for the better once the caregiver was able to shift their expectations of their pet and life with their pet. I also talk about leadership styles within a consultation and how declarative versus cooperative we should be as Behaviour Professionals to achieve the best outcomes and how our own as well as caregiver beliefs influence our consultations…   I told you, a bit of a philosophical one, but an episode I really enjoyed recording.   Here is the Trinity Client Handouts E-Book that I mentioned in the episode, just click here to get access for only 14 US$: https://katrin-jahn.mykajabi.com/trinity-e-book   You will receive 55 pages of client handouts and monitoring tools that will support you in your client education journey and perhaps help to open the conversation about behavioural health with some of your clients.

Frequency Specific Microcurrent (FSM) offers a breakthrough solution for these challenges, providing effective treatment options for conditions that were once deemed intractable. Below, we explore practical insights and techniques that medical practitioners can incorporate into their practice, drawn from experiences in using FSM to address nerve pain. The Challenge of Identifying Treatment Effectiveness When patients do not visibly feel the effects of FSM during treatment, it raises the question of how practitioners can ascertain if the therapy is working. Initial pain relief is an evident indicator; however, alternative markers such as improved range of motion or delayed onset of pain alleviation can also signal effectiveness. Practitioners should encourage patients to monitor their pain levels and range of motion post-treatment to evaluate its impact. Managing Expectations and Exploring Options Chronic nerve pain may not always yield immediate relief. Practitioners must advise patients that while the effects may not be instant, a progressive approach—evaluating changes over the course of hours or days—is essential. This ensures that patients understand FSM is one tool among many, aiding practitioners to pivot in treatment approaches as necessary to suit individual needs. Current Type and Frequency Decisions Not all FSM treatments are identical, with varying currents and frequencies applicable based on the patient profile. The choice between alternating and polarized positive currents can affect treatment outcomes, and starting with default protocols like alternating for non-athletes or polarized positive for athletes can be beneficial. Continuous assessment and adaptation of these settings based on patient response form an integral part of personalized FSM therapy. The Complexity and Fluidity of Pain Diagnosis Practitioners often encounter patients with multifaceted conditions where nerve pain is only one symptom. It's crucial to distinguish whether pain originates from nerve damage or other structural or musculoskeletal issues. For instance, pain labeled as nerve-related might sometimes result from facet joint issues or disc problems. Thus, thorough evaluations and applying the specific currents and frequencies designed for these conditions are vital for accurate diagnosis and effective treatment. Treatment Strategies for Recurrent and Complex Pain Those practicing FSM should also recognize that symptoms can sometimes resurface, suggesting underlying issues were not fully resolved. This necessitates a proactive approach in evaluating and adjusting treatment plans based on ongoing patient feedback and reevaluation of initial diagnoses.  Importance of Education and Continuous Learning Treating nerve pain effectively with FSM involves understanding both the body's physiology and the patient's individual experience. Continuous learning and application of FSM protocols ensure practitioners keep abreast of best practices, thus providing patients with comprehensive care.  By integrating these insights into practice, medical professionals can enhance treatment regimens involving Frequency Specific Microcurrent to manage nerve pain and related conditions, ultimately offering their patients improved quality of care and hopeful recovery outcomes.

Ninety percent of people's problems in their lives and business are that they don't manage expectations properly.    I've been married 4 times, divorced 3.    A long time ago, when I met Amy, we sat down and had a conversation.    I've been with her about 11 years and once we decided we were going to be getting serious, we sat down and had a conversation.    Pre-nup.    No matter what you think, everything begins and ends with agreements.     When we discussed our marriage, we outlined what the consequences would be if:    Either of us cheated Filed for Divorce Didn't stay in shape   The list goes on.    The crazy thing is at the time, I was making about 7 figures and she was making 6.    We still have separate bank accounts to this day, but we didn't want our marriage to be anything but successful.    Do we argue?    Yes.    Do we have disagreements?   Yes, just like every other couple.    Imagine if everyone decided to make agreements like this?    What would the world be like?    No matter what you think or believe, there is a always as way to manage expectations better.    Lean in and take notes.    This one is going to be a game-changer for how you make agreements moving forward in life.    About the ReWire Podcast   The ReWire Podcast with Ryan Stewman – Dive into powerful insights as Ryan Stewman, the HardCore Closer, breaks down mental barriers and shares actionable steps to rewire your thoughts.

Dana Dahlquist is a Golf Magazine Top 100 Teacher and a Golf Digest Top 50 Golf Instructor.  Recognized as one of the best on the Professional Golf, Dana's goal is to help players create swings that are functional and repeatable under pressure, not just swings that look good on camera on the driving range. Originally trained with a background in mechanics (MORAD specifically), his teaching has evolved to understand the forces players must apply to create the matchups needed in their swing.  Dana also works with Bryson DeChambeau and joins #OntheMark to set up the US Open and help you get a better understanding of how to build a dynamically stable and repeatable golf swing. He takes a deep dive into technique as he discusses elements that a lot of golfers misundestand: Hitting Down in Contrast to Presenting Better Dynamic Loft for better Strikes and more Power How to effectively Make Changes for Consistency when embarking on Game Improvement Measures, and Managing Expectations and Setting Positive Timelines for Improvement. As he elaborates on these important topics Dana talks about Ben Hogan, Mac O'Grady, Lee Trevino and Bryson DeChambeau.  He also talks about game improvement's "Heirarchy of Needs" and how hitting the shot that is needed is better than hitting a good shot - as he uses Jack Nicklaus, Tiger Woods and Scottie Scheffler as examples. This podcast is also available as a vodcast on YouTube.  Search and subscribe to Mark Immelman's YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/@MarkImmelman
