Q & A 13.0: Practice, Pressure & Performance Part 2

How do you know if your practice is actually making you better? In Part 2 of our Q&A, Chase and Raymond dig into practice, pressure, and performance. They discuss how we should measure improvement, why success in practice doesn’t always transfer to the golf course, and how different types of practice can help players build skills that actually hold up when it matters. They also dive into when a golf swing needs to be changed versus left alone, short-term fixes for anxiety and the yips, and why constantly trying to protect yourself from bad outcomes can eventually get in the way of playing your best. At the center of the conversation is a simple question: are you playing to see how good you can be, or playing to make sure you don’t fail?
