Join us for a wonderful three days in Manchester in November Get in touch at https://themindfactor.net/the-certification-course/  One of the secrets really stood out to me Socratic questioning and how being prepared to ‘go into’ the problem you have with your game could actually help find a solution What would you ‘need’ to do to slice the ball? Can you actually experience what you would need to do to deliberately create the ‘mistake’? This area of enquiry was just one of the fascinating topics that we managed to cover in a really wide ranging conversation: Why trying to get rid of the ‘ego’ is the ultimate ego trip Playing to your strengths as a coach The uses and misuses of technology Becoming more of a SHOT coach Giving our shots a ‘name’ The problem with ‘Method Coaching’ and why this is perhaps the least effective coaching model The dangers of relying on our memory   Nick has had a very long and distinguished coaching career, studying with some of the world’s best coaches like David Leadbetter and then going on to coach top players such as Justin Rose He is a deep thinker about the game and is refreshingly honest and forthright in his opinions of what we need to do to get the best from our game To find out more about Nick go to https://www.bradleygolf.com/ Get a copy of his latest book ‘The 50 Secrets to Great Golf you don’t know about YET’ Are you going to take ACTION and become a Certified Mind Factor coach?
