We sit down with Alex Rose to talk about why golf exposes our inner world so quickly and why that can actually be healing. We dig into identity, the inner critic, and how self-talk shapes our nervous system and our ability to play free under pressure.
• the difference between a golf player and a golf lover
• why the course reveals patterns that everyday life can hide
• separating identity from performance and the scorecard
• reframing the inner critic as useful feedback instead of truth
• using awareness, gratitude, and inner dialogue to reset fast
• why words hit the nervous system and change your physiology
• simple on-course experiments to shift mindset and build belief
• expectations versus possibilities and what alignment feels like
• keeping perspective so you can work hard and still have fun
Alex has graciously given the green light to put his information on, and he's available to be worked with one-on-one. http://www.alexrose.life/ alex@alexrose.life
