Does the perfect golf swing exist? NO.  Does the perfect golf swing equal lower scores in golf? NO – Yet many golfers continue to strive to attain the “perfect swing.”  This is the topic of conversation today, where David and colleague Colm O'Donoghue talk about the problem with this approach and the implications for your golf game.  They also share some advice on what you could consider doing to improve your scores and your enjoyment of the game.  Key Learning Points:  Studies suggest that the variation in technique between low handicap amateurs and professional golfers is similar.    Consider how you practice your golf, if you practice solely in a technical manner it is likely to tie you up in knots and show in your golf scores.  Split your practice into technical, performance, process and creative practice.  Do you ever consider how you can access a flow state and what a flow state is for you on the golf course?  Connect with David Charlton  Join David @ The Sports Psychology Hub  Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIN  Podcast Episodes To Help Golfers Improve Their Scores  Ep017: Gio Valiante – How to Play Fearless Golf  Ep089: Will Shaw – How To Transfer Your Golfing Skills To The Course   Ep101: Compilation – 25 Mental Game Secrets to Improve Your Golf  Other Valuable Resources To Help Children, Young Golfers, Parents and Youth Sport Coaches  Youth Sports Psychology Library   Conversations With Kids Ideas  Frequently Asked Questions - Sport Psychology for Children and Parents  Resources To Support Golfers So That They Score Better  Frequently Asked Questions on Golf Psychology and Golf Mental Skills   Golf Psychology and Mental Skills for Golf Library  8 Better Ways to Practice to Your Golf  Do You Obsess over the Perfect Golf Swing?  Are You Missing Shots Before You've Started Your Swing 

Welcome to Church Pew Sports Ep 178 - Brains, Baggage & The Big Leagues - Why So Many Young Athletes Flame Out We welcome Kip Rodgers, founder of BrainCode Corp, for a deep and eye-opening conversation about what really goes on behind the scenes of the NFL Draft—and why so many talented athletes never live up to expectations. With over a decade of experience assessing NFL draft prospects' mental makeup, Kip shares how she uses neuroscience-based evaluations to help athletes, agents, and teams make better decisions. From entitlement issues to spiritual grounding, Kip dives into the mental, emotional, and spiritual traits that often determine whether a player succeeds or crashes out of the league. We discuss real stories of players who let pride and poor judgment derail their careers, and why some top talents fall in the draft for reasons beyond the field. Kip also explains the growing trend of college transfers, how money changes everything, and what she asks young players about their family life and faith background during evaluations. Also: What role does humility play in quarterback success? Why is strong faith a predictor of stability? And how should teams screen for red flags without crossing the line? It's a fascinating blend of sports psychology, faith, and football culture—an absolute must-listen for fans who care about what really shapes a player.   This week's CPS Starting Host Lineup: Bill Hobson Pastor Paul Miller Kip Rodgers --------- Did you know you can now WATCH Church Pew Sports on our new YOUTUBE Channel?

David Charlton hosts the Demystifying Mental Toughness podcast with his colleague and a fellow competitive amateur golfer, Colm O'Donoghue today.  Colm discusses his journey from playing golf as a child to returning to the sport in his mid-20s, driven by an interest in the psychological aspects of golf.  He shares his struggles with perfectionism and the importance of maintaining a present-focused mindset. Together they talk about a case study of a young golfer, who excels in match play but struggles with stroke play due to focusing too much on the score.  Colm and David emphasize the importance of a pre-shot routine in maintaining his focus and staying present, which can help manage his arousal levels, in turn, lowering his scores. Key Learning Points: ·        Trying to play perfect golf and focusing too much on the score can impact enjoyment of the sport. ·       Colm explains the difference between match play and stroke play, emphasizing the reset nature of match play and the need to focus on the process in stroke play. ·        Self-awareness is critical, recognising and being able to reset when you are ahead of yourself and predicting future holes, shots or score and identifying when you are stuck in the past, dwelling on mistakes.

Today, in episode #279 David and Gerard discuss the challenges faced by a 12-year-old cricketer named Amir (pseudonym), who is a leg spinner struggling with inconsistent selection due to the club's preference for pace bowling.  Amir's fluctuating motivation and confidence, as well as the potential for dropping out of cricket are attributed to poor communication from coaches and his own difficulty in expressing frustrations.  Key Learning Points: ·         Helping the cricketer develop psychological flexibility to separate his self-worth from the selection decisions made by the coaches is key. ·         Encourage the cricketer to focus on the controllables, such as his attitude, effort, and the key ingredients that make up a good performance, rather than the uncontrollable factors like the perfect delivery. ·         Coaches should consider carefully how they communicate to prevent young cricketers and athletes from feeling undervalued and potentially quitting the sport.  Connect with David Charlton Join David @ The Sports Psychology Hub Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIN Podcast Episodes Related To The Youth Sport Experience Ep176 Camilla Knight: How To Help Enhance The Psychological Wellbeing Of Children In Sport #BITESIZE Ep168 - Andrew Simpson: How To Navigate Youth Sports So That Children Enjoy The Experience More   Ep141 -David Charlton: How to Help a Child Who Wants to Quit Sport   Other Valuable Resources To Help Children, Young Athletes, Parents and Youth Sport Coaches Youth Sports Psychology Library Conversations With Kids Ideas Frequently Asked Questions - Sport Psychology for Children and Parents Resources To Support Cricketers So That They Play With Confidence Cricket Psychology Library 7 Questions to Ask Yourself Before You Bowl Every Delivery Make Bowling Simple by Avoiding these 3 Common Mental Game Errors

The fight-or-flight reflex is always lurking just below the surface. When things get sufficiently stressful, our hormonal system dumps enormous amounts of adrenaline into our bloodstream, and—BOOM—suddenly we're ready for action. That adrenaline serves a purpose: it elevates your heart rate, makes you much stronger, more pain tolerant, and able to ignore injury. If you ever have to lift a car off a child, you don't want to be calm. Instead, you want to be mad, scared, enraged—whatever it takes to get into that adrenaline-soaked state of high arousal to lift the damn car with your bare hands. But that superhuman strength comes at a cost; as adrenaline floods your system, you lose a significant amount of fine motor control and higher brain function. Take whatever IQ you started with and cut it in half.

In today's episode, #278 David and Gerard discuss the impact of a shouty coach on an 18-year-old rugby player named Tom (pseudonym).  They explore how such coaching styles can lead to self-doubt, low self-esteem, and increased self-criticism, affecting both on-field performance and confidence levels.   They emphasize the importance of coaches fostering a supportive environment where players can express themselves freely. Key Learning Points: ·        The conversation highlights the broader issue of youth sports participation and the need for a supportive coaching culture. ·        Develop standardised behaviour routines for young athletes, focusing on the attributes of their favourite players (e.g., work rate, commitment, shooting of Ronaldo). ·        Ask the athlete questions to understand their perspective on what behaviours mean to them personally (eg. work rate and commitment).  Often a coaches' or parents' interpretation can be very different. ·        Focus on solutions to help young footballers and athletes manage their emotions effectively.

In episode #277 David and Gerard Fitzgerald discussed how to help shift the focus of an extra competitive footballer or athlete, using the example of a boy named Joe who hates losing.   Key points included the importance of harnessing anger positively, as seen with Wayne Rooney's iconic goal in 2005 for Manchester United versus Newcastle United.  They also share the need to normalise emotional responses like anger where footballers may kick out, tackle over aggressively, shout at team-mates or display poor body language.   Parents and coaches are advised to avoid adding to the child's stress and activating their sympathetic nervous system anymore by shouting and yelling at them, instead helping them regulate emotions. Key Learning Points: ·        Develop standardised behaviour routines for young footballers, focusing on the attributes of their favourite players (e.g., work rate, commitment, shooting of Ronaldo). ·        Ask the athlete questions to understand their perspective on what behaviours (work rate, commitment) mean to them as often a coach or parents' interpretation can be very different. ·        Accept and seek to understand individual perspectives, traits and subsequent behaviours without being overly judgemental. ·        Focus on solutions to help young footballers and athletes manage their emotions effectively.

Behind the bright lights, electric energy, and boisterous fans that come with professional sports, can sometimes be a dark, lonely, depressing space some elite athletes find themselves in. Recent research shows that between 5% and 35% of elite athletes report a mental health disorder. It was revealed this week that Red Sox outfielder Jarren Duran made a suicide attempt during the 2022 season. The shocking admission came during a Netflix documentary set to be released this week. We discussed the often-unspoken mental challenges that some athletes battle.Listen to WBZ NewsRadio on the NEW iHeart Radio app and be sure to set WBZ NewsRadio as your #1 preset!

Today marks the start of an 8-episode series where David Charlton is joined by a colleague.  Gerard Fitzgerald features in this episode, as well as the next 3 episodes.  They go on to discuss a case study of a young female footballer, 11 years old with a pseudonym name called Carly who is a sensitive soul who worries too much about other people (team-mates specifically in this case).  We go on to normalise emotional sensitivity in young athletes, highlighting that it can be a strength if managed properly.  We also talk about the challenges of emotional sensitivity where young athletes often face mental drain and self-doubt.  David and Gerard then go on to share some advice for parents and coaches to manage emotionally sensitive players who can focus too much on their team-mates. Key Learning Points: ·        Explore ways to normalize the emotional experiences of young athletes and help them manage the mental demands of the sport. ·        Develop strategies to shift the focus from negative self-criticism and comparison to a more positive, responsibility-based approach. ·        The conversation explores how a neutral third party can provide a fresh perspective and help both parents and children understand each other better. ·        Constant comparison to teammates can lead to self-doubt and criticism in young athletes and footballers. ·        The discussion concludes with a reminder that the win-at-all-costs attitude can sometimes drive young athletes away from sport emphasising the need for fun and enjoyment.
