Podcasts about mental game

Do you equate the mental game of #poker with tilt avoidance? Then this episode of the podcast will be a huge eye-opener. Sure mental resilience is a critical part of playing winning poker, but there are many other edges you can develop through mindfulness. Directed study moves more concepts into unconscious competence, making decisions faster and more accurate. Creating a flow state will optimize your performance and thus your hourly rate.

What's up everyone! This week I'm sitting down with Jerrod Lile, CEO of Hunting Fool and one of the most underrated elk hunters you've never heard enough from. Jerrod spent 14 years working alongside Dan Evans at Trophy Taker—yeah, THE Dan Evans—and the stories and lessons he picked up during that time are absolute gold. This conversation goes deep. We talk about how Jerrod went from being a good shooter to a great archer after Dan called him out on his bad habits, the mental game required to perform under pressure (spoiler: it's just like you to make a good shot), and why he's helped 15 first-time bowhunters kill their first elk. Jerrod breaks down his hunting philosophy into one simple mantra: get as close as you can for as long as you can, and good stuff will happen. But this episode isn't all tactics and tips. Jerrod gets brutally honest about the emotional rollercoaster of elk hunting—from getting too cocky after a string of successes and missing a giant bull at 35 yards, to the heartbreak of his father passing away in the middle of a 23-point Arizona hunt. That story alone is worth the listen. It's raw, it's real, and it's a reminder that elk hunting is about so much more than antlers. We also dive into the psychology of hunting with other people (spoiler: it usually makes you worse), why repeating the same game plan year after year is a trap, and how to pivot when things aren't working. Jerrod doesn't hold back on his mistakes—like setting up a comfy wall tent camp in Arizona and being too stubborn to relocate when the pressure got heavy—and the lessons he's learned from them. If you want to hear from someone who's been in the trenches for decades, worked with legends, and still gets humbled by elk every single season, this is the episode for you. Jerrod is humble, authentic, and full of hard-earned wisdom that only comes from putting in the work year after year. Sponsors Stone Glacier - If you're in the market for a new pack, Jerrod and I both run Stone Glacier gear. I packed out a lot of animals this year with the Sky Archer 6400, including a couple elk. The thing I love about Stone Glacier packs is they work whether you're on a 10-day backpack trip or day hunting from the truck. Minimalist design, tough as nails, and they collapse down so you don't need multiple packs. Built by mountain hunters for mountain hunters. Check out the Sky Archer 6400 at stoneglacier.com and use code TRO. Tricer - Tricer makes way more than just tripods. One of my favorite products is the RP Bipod—a legit hunting bipod with all the features you'd expect from a high-dollar setup. At 10.5 ounces, it's lightweight enough to take on any hunt. Comes with everything: long legs, short legs, works on Picatinny or Arca. For $350, it's a no-brainer. I've shot a lot of critters off mine. Head to tricer.com and use code TRO to save 10%. OnX Hunt - We didn't have an OnX ad in this episode, but if you're a Hunting Fool member or thinking about becoming one, OnX Elite members get Hunting Fool for free. Plus, OnX is running a giveaway right now through April 15th—a hunt for two, no charge to enter. Just visit the OnX website, click the single sign-on button, and you're automatically entered.

Timestamps 00:00 - Intro: The underrated elk hunter you need to hear from 04:30 - Working alongside Dan Evans at Trophy Taker 09:15 - Going to first and second grade together 14:20 - The story that changed everything: Dan circles a bull in New Mexico 19:45 - "Iron Elk Syndrome" and why calling is the default trap 24:30 - Helping 15 first-time bowhunters kill their first elk 28:50 - The mantra: Get as close as you can for as long as you can 32:40 - Managing the emotional rollercoaster of new hunters 37:10 - Dan breaking down Jerrod's shooting and rebuilding it 42:20 - "It's like me to make a good shot" - the mental game 46:15 - Getting cocky and missing a giant bull at 35 yards 50:30 - Arizona 2023: Hunting with his son and running into people 55:40 - The lesson: Don't repeat the same game plan year after year 58:20 - Hunting with multiple people makes you worse 1:02:15 - The 23-point Arizona hunt and losing his father mid-hunt 1:08:45 - Shooting the bull on the last night with 15 minutes of light 1:12:30 - Carrying his dad's ashes on every hunt 1:15:00 - Hunting Fool giveaway and closing thoughts Three Key Takeaways Master the Mental Game of Archery - Jerrod learned from Dan Evans that you can control every variable in elk hunting except whether you'll panic when the moment comes. He spent months blind bailing, shooting 5-spots, and reading books like With Winning in Mind to build his mental game. His mantra under pressure: "It's like me to make a good shot." Repeating that phrase in third person creates psychological distance from the pressure and keeps you focused on execution. Great elk hunters aren't just good woodsmen—they're elite archers who can perform when it counts. Hunting with Others Usually Makes You Worse - Jerrod's favorite way to hunt with buddies? Share camp, high-five in the morning, split up, and reconvene at night. When you're constantly consulting with a partner—should we go this way? Should we move?—you have 15 mini-meetings a day and 0.5x the decision-making power. Even worse, if your gut disagrees with your partner's call, you'll be less committed, step on a stick, or miss the subtle cues that lead to success. Pick a point person, trust them completely, or hunt solo. Don't Fall in Love with Last Year's Game Plan - Jerrod burned his Arizona hunt by repeating the same meal plan that worked the year before. Just because elk were in a certain spot last year (or the last three years) doesn't mean they'll be there this year. People change, pressure changes, and elk are nomadic. If you're consistently running into hunters or the elk aren't doing what they did before, pivot early. Don't lose four days being stubborn. The devil you don't know might be better than the devil you do.

400 Episodes of the Mind Caddie: The Real Keys to Golf Improvement What could the Mind Caddie do for your golf game this year? Today marks a huge milestone — Episode 400 of the Mind Caddie podcast. Hard to believe that over the past 8 years we've shared hundreds of conversations exploring the mental game of golf, performance psychology, and what it truly takes to improve your game. Have we solved every problem in golf? Probably not. But along the way, we believe we've started asking better questions about how golfers actually improve. In this special episode, we turn the tables as Ben interviews Karl Morris about the evolution of the Mind Caddie and the lessons learned from 400 episodes of conversations about golf mindset, coaching, and performance. Together they explore: • The real keys to lasting improvement in golf • How to rediscover the joy and creativity of shot-making • The biggest myths and misconceptions about the mental game • Why golfers struggle to transfer practice range skills to the golf course • The power of being open to new possibilities in your game • The impact of AI and technology on the future of golf coaching • Practical steps you can take right now to improve your golf The Mind Caddie exists because of the incredible support of listeners around the world.

If you care about elite golf performance, you can't ignore your golf mindset or your golf mental game. In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Michael Lardon—a psychiatrist and performance expert who has worked with Olympians, major champions, and elite competitors—to explore what truly separates good players from those capable of sustained excellence. Together, we go beyond surface-level routines and visualization to clarify the difference between sports psychology and sports psychiatry, unpack what anxiety actually is from a biological and nervous system perspective, and explain why so many golfers sabotage their performance by time-traveling into the past or future. You'll learn why outcome goals create pressure while process goals unlock performance, how to channel intensity without tipping into volatility, and why positive obsession, creativity, rest, and play are essential to sustaining elite golf performance over years—not just one hot stretch. In this episode, you'll learn: The difference between sports psychology vs sports psychiatry—and why it matters What anxiety is (physiology, emotions, thoughts) and why it becomes chronic How "time traveling" creates anxiety—and how presence dissolves it Positive obsession vs destructive obsession—and how to sustain passion for decades How to use the creative mind (visual, rhythm, feel) to access the zone Why the best performers are humble, curious, and mastery-driven The role of rest, recovery, humor, and play in elite longevity If you want a stronger golf mental game, more emotional control under pressure, and a deeper understanding of how to access the zone on demand, this conversation delivers both the science and the strategy.

It arises when your mind leaves the present moment and starts time traveling into the past or future, creating a gap between where you are and where your thoughts are. Elite golf performance is built on process goals, not outcome goals. Winning, making the cut, or shooting a number are results; committing fully to each shot is the only controllable path to those results. Positive obsession fuels mastery; destructive obsession fuels burnout. The difference is whether your intensity is rooted in passion and love for the craft—or fear, validation, and imbalance. The creative mind unlocks the zone. Great players move from left-brain planning (distance, wind, lie) to right-brain creation (see it, feel it, rhythm it) before executing with trust and "no brain." Fun and pressure cannot coexist at full volume. Reconnecting to enjoyment, perspective, and passion lowers anxiety and opens the door to freer, more instinctive performance. Key Quotes: "So if I can be fully present, there is no anxiety, if you will. Now, not an easy thing to do… but where should my mind be? It should be in the gap between two thoughts." "If you want the good grade, you don't think, 'I'm gonna make the good grade.' What you think about is, 'This is the material in front of me and I need to master it.' And if I do that, that translates into a good grade." "Fun and being pathologically nervous—they're not possible together. If you're laughing and you're having fun, we open up the avenue of really doing good things." "Those who know do not think. And those who think do not know." "We're the noisiest passenger of our own ship. We think we know what's going on—we think we control it—but not really. Our unconscious mind is processing things all the time."

But it's not about talent or access.The real reason? Mental game. Fear of judgment, anxiety, pressure to perform, low confidence.In this episode, my co-founder Kristina and I are sharing our personal stories about quitting our sports. Stories we don't usually tell.Kristina was a basketball starter who quit her senior year because she physically couldn't shoot anymore. Not because she lost her skills, but because she couldn't handle the pressure of standing out and the fear of friends getting mad at her for being too good.I turned down college volleyball offers after my senior year because the emotional cost felt unbearable. Between my parents' divorce and perfectionism, I felt like I was failing everyone no matter what I did.We both came back to our sports later. But we shouldn't have had to quit in the first place to find peace.That's why we built The Elite Competitor and the Play, Stay, Lead mission.What You'll Learn:✅ Why girls quit sports at twice the rate of boys (and it's not what you think)✅ The real reason talented athletes walk away from their sport✅ How mental game challenges show up (pressure to be invisible, perfectionism, anxiety)✅ What keeps girls in sports longer and turns them into confident leaders✅ The mission behind everything we do at The Elite Competitor

In Part 2 of Season 13, Episode 5, we sharpen the most important club in your bag — your mind. Dr. Bob Winters, “The Confidence Doctor,” returns with a powerful lesson on patience, resilience, and mental toughness in golf. This month's Dr. Bob-ism says it all: “Patience is confidence waiting to happen.” We dive into how emotional control, persistence, and belief directly impact your scores — especially when the round starts going sideways. If you're looking to lower scores through better golf psychology and course management, this segment is for you. Then Dave Stockton Jr. makes his long-overdue return to the show. We talk about the legendary Stockton family's influence on the game, Ryder Cup success, and why their winning mindset could be exactly what Team USA needs next time around. Dave also shares stories from recent rounds at some incredible West Coast golf courses, including time spent at Goathill Park, the oceanside public course co-owned by Bill Murray, plus hanging out with Dodgers and Padres legend Steve Garvey. From mental game mastery to Ryder Cup strategy and hidden gem golf courses, this episode blends instruction, insight, and great stories from inside the game.

https://www.siegergolf.com/online-courses⁠⁠ In this week's episode of The Golfing Mind, we move to Part 2 and step away from swing mechanics, equipment, and technique, going right to the heart of what truly separates great players from the rest of the field: the mental skills that stand up under pressure. Most amateur golfers believe the difference between them and the professionals is talent. In reality, it's a lot more than that. The main difference is psychological structure—how elite players think, decide, recover, and regulate themselves when the stakes are high, and the margin for error is thin. In this second part, continuing from last week's podcast, we rank the fourth and fifth of the five most important mental skills used by successful professional golfers. Not the most fashionable ideas, not the most talked-about clichés—but the skills that fail first when players unravel, and the ones that hold firm when champions close. We explore why emotional control sits above everything else, why rapid recovery matters more than confidence, and why great decision-making prevents pressure before it even appears. We also look at commitment, acceptance, patience, and process—and how amateurs can begin to train these skills deliberately rather than hoping they'll magically appear on the back nine. If you've ever wondered why your best golf doesn't show up when it matters most, this episode will give you clarity—and a clear mental framework to start changing that.

UPDATE: I have decided to start anew on Instagram. Follow me @thepaulsalter for your daily dose of high-performance wisdom, insights, and actions. In this episode, I sit down with Scott Fawcett for our third conversation—and this one goes far beyond strategy charts and strokes gained. We dig into what actually separates golfers who want to play good golf from those who are genuinely committed to winning. Scott shares unfiltered insights from working with elite players, his own experiences chasing professional golf, and the uncomfortable psychological traits that show up at the highest levels of performance. We explore obsession, selfishness, loving nerves, emotional regulation, meditation, and the hard truth that elite success often requires becoming someone most people are unwilling—or unable—to be. This conversation also weaves into life, parenting, money, identity, and how meditation and awareness prepare you for the inevitable storms both on and off the course. This is a raw, wide-ranging discussion about excellence, suffering, fulfillment, and what it really costs to pursue greatness. In this episode, you'll learn: The real mental difference between wanting to play well and being committed to winning Why elite golfers fall in love with monotony and repetition How "loving nerves" becomes a competitive advantage Why being "too nice" can quietly cap your potential How meditation builds emotional regulation under pressure Why reframing thoughts—not eliminating them—is the real work How defining success incorrectly sabotages long-term fulfillment Get your pencils ready and start listening.  P.S.

Wanting to eliminate nerves is a losing strategy; learning to love them is essential. Being nice and being kind are not the same—and niceness often limits success. Winning requires emotional regulation, not emotional suppression. Thoughts only gain power when you attach to them and rehearse them. Meditation trains awareness that transfers directly into performance under pressure. Fulfillment comes from meaningful pursuit, not chasing pleasure or avoiding discomfort. Key Quotes: "Elite players don't try to get rid of nerves—they learn to love them." "You can't force yourself to be ruthless if it's not how you're wired." "Thoughts are just thoughts until you give them power." "If you don't meditate, you're probably meditating—just on the wrong things." "Winning isn't about outcomes; it's about getting one percent better every day." "Life is messy—and if it's not messy, it's lonely." "You're not the thinker of your thoughts; you're the observer of them."

On this episode, the mood is a mix of celebration and nerves as Matt prepares to go under the knife for his full knee replacement surgery the very next morning.In this episode:The Bionic Leg: Matt talks about the high-tech recovery gear dropped off by Cobra Medical and discusses the timeline for his return to the links (Landmand or bust!).Tour Talk: We recap the chaos and "cultural experience" that was the Waste Management Open and look ahead to the 80-man, no-cut field at Pebble Beach.Halftime Hot Takes: The crew debates the Super Bowl halftime show—was it a vibe or a snooze fest compared to Prince?Tech & Trivia: Matt terrorizes the guys with creepy AI-generated videos, and we play a round of "Google Gemini" trivia regarding the most important dates in modern golf history.Plus, we talk TGL failures, Disneyland horror stories, and give away some fresh Garson gear.Special thank goes out to our show sponsors:

Scott Fawcett flips the script and interviews me—Paul Salter, The Golf Hypnotherapist—to pull back the curtain on what hypnosis actually is (and what it's not), how it compares to meditation, and why so many golfers struggle with their mental game and stay stuck even when they "know what to do." We dig into the real reason consistency collapses (hint: it's not laziness), what I mean by destructive mindset programs, and how fear of next-level success quietly drives self-sabotage. I also explain memory reconsolidation—why your past isn't "over" just because you've compartmentalized it—and how releasing old emotional charge can free up energy, focus, and execution when it matters most. In this episode, you'll learn: The real difference between hypnosis and the "pocket watch" caricature Why meditation helps—but why it often isn't enough for identity-level change How fear of success can be the hidden reason you stop doing what works What "memory reconsolidation" is and how it impacts performance Why the yips and performance anxiety often have roots outside golf The difference between surface-level tools vs subconscious rewiring Why stress is often an "energy leak" from unresolved internal conflict If you've tried sports psychology, visualization, breathwork, and self-talk… and still feel like there's something deeper running the show, this conversation will connect a lot of dots.

The work is simply learning to access it intentionally for change. Meditation and hypnosis overlap in brainwaves, but hypnosis adds direction. It's not just relaxing—it's targeted problem-solving and identity work. Most inconsistency is subconscious protection, not lack of discipline. When success feels unfamiliar, the mind pulls you back toward "safe" and predictable. Self-sabotage is often sneaky and cumulative. It shows up as small broken promises (sleep, meditation, workouts), not just obvious destructive behaviors. Next-level performance requires detachment from outcome. "Need to / have to / should" language is a dead giveaway you're gripping the result. Memory reconsolidation changes your relationship with the past. You don't erase memories—you drain the emotional charge so they stop hijacking the present. Your golf game carries your whole life onto the course. Unresolved family dynamics, identity pressure, and old emotional pain can create mental interference that looks like "golf problems." Key Quotes: "Hypnosis…it's not magic. It's not brainwashing. It's a natural state of mind." "If you know what to do and you're not doing it…that's a mindset problem." "Most people are afraid of next level success or being the best version of themselves." "The sneaky lowercase-s self-sabotage…is breaking the little promises you keep to yourself." "You can control your process…but not the outcome." "Memory reconsolidation is like opening a Word document and doing some editing." "You bring your whole self to the golf course…most of the stressors are completely unrelated to golf."
