Today on the show we are joined by top coach Nick Bradley to discuss a fascinating topic. MISTAKES and more importantly your relationship to those mistakes.
Nick sets the scene with a great story about challenging some of the best coaches in the world at the PGA show in Orlando about what they COULD have learned from their biggest mistakes.
- The question was largely ignored.
- An opportunity for everyone to learn was missed.
- Why do we have such a poor relationship to our mistakes and more importantly what can we do about it?
- How we stigmatise mistakes and the consequence of this limits our learning
- How mistakes are so essential in our evolution as a player
- Why we need to look at the journey of a player as opposed to just looking at perfect ‘swing positions’
- Nick also gives us some great insights into working with top players
- How a great relationship CAN turn sour and go in the wrong direction
- The need for CLARTY on the financial side
- How to keep challenging players effectively
- How to become a better STUDENT
- Why Butch Harmon is such a great coach
- Why ‘method coaching’ can be an ego trip and intellectual snobbery
- On the business side why it is important to consider ‘staying in your lane’
