About this episode

Julie Elion discusses mental performance coaching and how Wyndham Clark overcame adversity to win the U.S. Open.

Get Julie Elion’s new book Mastering Your Mental Game (link to Amazon) On this episode we’ve got THE Julie Elion. Most notably the mental performance coach for Wyndham Clark. She’s also the author of her new book Mastering Your Mental Game, which is excellent. So the timing of this one was pretty dang cool with Wyndham just winning the U.S. Open last week. We of course talk a lot about Wyndham and how he handles the adversity of the crowd and seemingly the whole world being against him. And we discuss how Wyndham and other tour players improve their mental resilience, emotional regulation, and other very accessible and normal practices golfers can do to perform better under pressure. By the end of this episode I’m confident you’ll be able to reframe your nerves, handle anger better, and develop mental habits that give you the best chance to succeed more often. ----- Timestamps & Topics: 0:00 - Intro: Listen to Josh’s new podcast Project Mid-Am: A Golfer’s Journey on Apple or Spotify 2:36 - The Nerve-wracking Experience of Coaching Wyndham Clark 9:04 - Why Honesty and Self-Awareness is Important for Golfers 16:09 - ⛳️ The Divot Board: Get 10% off at…
