In this Tiger Dads episode, we’re joined by world-renowned mental performance coach Rick Sessinghaus, best known for coaching major champion Collin Morikawa, for a deep and practical conversation every golf parent and junior needs to hear.

Rick breaks down how parents can better support their junior golfer’s mental game, why stress shows up so strongly in competition, and how unrealistic expectations can quietly derail development. We talk about what healthy junior progress actually looks like, how parents can manage their own emotions during tournaments, and why staying calm is a skill that must be trained...just like a golf swing.Rick also shares insight into how Collin Morikawa approaches adversity, pressure, and setbacks, along with simple mental techniques juniors can use to stay focused, confident, and present during rounds. This episode is packed with actionable advice, mindset shifts, and mental game tools that help juniors compete freer...and help parents become a source of calm instead of pressure.If you care about long-term development, emotional resilience, and helping your junior golfer enjoy the game while performing their best, this is a must-listen episode.
