    This is an episode I've been hoping to get recorded for a while now.

    E43: Playing "Stressed" Golf

    Many times I hear girls and parents say “I played great during my practice round” or “I can shoot X score when I play at home”. Bottomline is those are not and never will be the same as tournament golf. The goal is to better prepare for the difference and how you are inherently going to feel and react during tournaments. Create confidence in your game by preparing for those feelings and planning for worst-case scenarios. Learn how to make your practice feel more like tournaments vs trying to make your tournament rounds feel more like practice.

    E40: Williams College Coach Tomas Adalsteinsson
    Tomas Adalsteinsson, or as he usually goes by, Coach Tomas, has led the Williams College women’s golf program to back-to-back runner-up and a fourth-place finish at the NCAA Championship since taking over the program back in 2016. The team has become one of the most prominent golf programs in DIII women's golf. Utilizing his background in sports psychology, Coach Tomas implements his philosophy that "mindset" means "you get to set your mind to something" to lead the young ladies throughout their college golf careers. His hope is that not only do they become better golfers, but also better humans who can go out into the world more prepared for what lies ahead.
