Have you ever stood at life's crossroads, contemplating a leap of faith that could redefine everything? Cailyn Henderson did just that, swapping collegiate golf greens for the arduous chase toward the professional ranks. This episode invites you into Cailyn's world, where she lays bare the mental challenges that came with this transformative decision. Her story sheds light on the seldom-discussed mental side of sports, particularly the high stakes of the LPGA's Q school, and the subsequent lows that can follow. As we navigate her journey, Cailyn reveals how redirecting her focus towards her company, Fore the Girls, and embracing a larger social media role provided a pivot point to redefine her identity beyond the sport. The mental side of golf is certainly a challenge. From having confidence in tough shots to dealing with very real challenges like the putting yips, Cailyn explores some of the challenges that she has faced on the course.
