In the final episode of our 3 part Habits series, Dr. Raymond Prior and Chase Cooper discuss the final stage of habit mapping: Upgrading from the old "bad" habit to the new "good" habit. Episode 1 focused on the anatomy of a habit (trigger, behavior, reward). Episode 2 focused on the rewards, what we get from these rewards and what they feel like . In this episode, it's all about the upgrade. Can we give our brain a better option? They also discuss the three criteria needed for it to be a credible upgrade and also the 4 main options for upgrades. Enjoy!

In part 2 of our 3 part series on Habits, Dr. Raymond Prior and Chase Cooper take a closer look at the rewards we are getting from our habits. In last week's episode (habits 101), we identified what a habit actually is and discussed the differences between behaviors and habits. In this episode, we start to break down the first step in changing our habits, and that is identifying how these habits make us feel and what benefit we are getting from them (both the good and the bad). Enoy!

In episode 21 of The Golf Beneath the Surface Podcast, Dr. Raymond and Chase kick off a three-part series focusing on habits. In part 1, they discuss the differences between behaviors and habits, the anatomy of a habit (trigger, behavior, reward) and how they’re formed. Enjoy!

It's been a minute but the boys are back for another episode of The Golf Beneath the Surface Podcast. In this episode Raymond and Chase talk through all things pre-shot routine. From the information gathering stage before the shot, executing over the golf ball, to assessing the results, no stone is left unturned in discussing what makes up a great pre-shot routine. They also discussed the ever important idea of acceptance. How it gets more and more difficult to accept all outcomes as the stakes get higher and ways we can work through those difficulties. And finally they touch on the importance of not letting our identity be too heavily tied into outcomes. Enjoy!

In Season 2, episode 3 of The Golf Beneath the Surface Podcast, Chase and Raymond take a deep dive into how to decide if it's your physical or mental skills that are limiting your performance. Are you swinging freely with stable confidence but still aren't getting the results you want? Do you hit it great on the range or at your home course by yourself but don't seem to perform as well during tournaments? The boys also discuss how to play golf courses that don't fit your eye, playing our best when we are uncomfortable, and the many layers or levels of performance. Enjoy!
