Start here. Learn how this system works, what to expect, and how to get the most out of each module.
Review how to pace yourself through this system (1-2 modules per week) and write down one thought from your last round where your brain got in your way.
Golf exposes your ability to manage your mind faster than anything else. Learn what "mental" really means and why this game gets in your head.
Play your next round and notice your thoughts every 3 holes. Don't judge them, just notice.
Your brain is designed to see danger, be negative, and get loud under pressure. Learn what to expect so you can work with it, not against it.
Notice when your brain rattles the hamster cage. What triggered it? What thoughts showed up?
Most golfers try to play well without deciding how they want to feel. Identify your preferred state: Calm, Certain, Confident.
Think back to a round where you played well. What were you feeling? Write down your preferred state.
Learn the 4 ways people deal with emotions (avoid, react, resist, allow) and why allowing is the skill that keeps you in your preferred state.
Next time you play, notice what you do with emotions. Do you avoid, react, resist, or allow them?
Stop wasting energy on things you can't control. Weather, bounces, people, pace of play — arguing with reality costs you your best golf.
Before your next round, list 3 things you can't control and decide ahead of time how you'll think about them.
Situations don't create emotions — thoughts do. Learn the STEAR framework to decode what's happening in your head and change it.
After your next round, use the STEAR Tool to decode one moment from your round.
You're only as consistent as your process. Learn the 4 containers (pre-shot, post-shot, pre-round, post-round) where STEAR lives.
Next time you play, notice: Do you have a process? Where do you have one and where don't you?
The Big 3 pre-shot emotions (anxiety, pressure, doubt) come from specific thoughts. Learn to choose Power Thoughts instead.
Go to the app and pick 2-3 Power Thoughts for 'Before a Shot.' Write them down and use them on every shot for your next round.
The 60-90 second reset. Learn how to allow emotions and get back to your preferred state before the next shot.
Pick 2-3 Power Thoughts for "After a Shot" and practice the 60-90 second reset on your next round.
The Junk Drawer technique. Clear mental clutter before you play so you start in your preferred state.
1-2 days before your next round, do the Junk Drawer Exercise and create certainty.
Turn every round into a learning opportunity. Be a scientist, not a drama queen.
After your next round, answer: What went well? What didn't? What will I do differently?
You've completed the foundation. Here's what to do next, how to keep building your toolkit, and where to go from here.
Commit to using this system for the next 30-90 days. Log every round in the app and track your progress.
