Today I'm excited to welcome back Dr. Izzy Justice—a sports neuroscientist, author of 8 books including his latest, Your Brain Swings Every Club. His first time on in 2023 was a game changer as he helped you understand the concepts in GYRA Golf (one of my favorite mental golf books ever).
Dr. Justice has spent over 30 years studying emotional intelligence (EQ) in sports and has trained more than 300 coaches across golf, football, basketball, and endurance sports. He's also a serious athlete himself, having completed over 40 triathlons, including 8 Half Ironmans and 5 full Ironmans.
When you listen to this episode, you will learn:
- Why heads up putting is a bad idea.
- How to pick targets from tee to green.
- Why you need to digital detox to let your brain relax.
- The importance of picking targets early in your routine.
- The practice keys to get your range game to the golf course.
- How the process of picking targets actually relaxes your brain.
- How highlight videos before bed can help you improve your swing.
And so much more.
