Episode description

On this episode of The Mental Golf Show, we have Coach Nicole Erickson to discuss identity in golf, the problem with outcome-focus, managing anger and frustration, handling pressure and nerves, how to track your mental game improvement, and more.

But before we get into the episode, I encourage you to go take the Mental Game Assessment. It’s a 15 minute personality quiz, but for golf. When you complete it, I’ll send you a personalized report of your results that will tell you what your mental strengths are and where you can put your effort to improve and a specific way to do it.
