The problem with thinking so much and more importantly BELIEVING those thoughts

Today on the Mind Caddie we have a really special guest in the shape of Dr Chris Niebauer author of the incredible books 'No Self No Problem' and 'The No Self No Problem Workbook'

Chris's work has been a really big influence on my thinking over recent times.

He paints a wonderful picture of what Golf and Life could be if we began to have a different relationship to our thinking mind.

If we could understand what our thinking mind is actually up to.

We wouldn't take it so seriously.

We wouldn't try to control our experience as much

We discuss Left Brain – Right Brain theories and how important it is to understand the differences and how it can potentially help your life

• The importance of the book 'The Master and his Emissary'
• The 'voice in the head' and why we don't have to take it so seriously
• The constant creation of stories created by the Left Brain
• Ways to GROUND yourself in the present
• Why when the mind puts effort in one direction there is a pushback in another direction
• We cannot use thinking to stop us thinking !!
• Could thought itself be the problem?

Some really fascinating insights about our mind and how it actually works. I cannot recommend Chris and his work highly enough

Today on the Mind Caddie we are joined by former Manchester United star Lee Sharpe to talk about his journey from a top Premiership Footballer to potential player on the European Seniors Golf Tour

We had a fascinating conversation about his development of skills as a footballer. Kicking a ball against a wall over and over again to gain skill and control over the football.

Going into an environment of excellence with greats of football like Bryan Robson and Eric Cantona

• The way training was structured by Sir Alex Ferguson and Archie Knox
• Dealing with 'imposter syndrome' and how to handle the nervousness of running out into the cauldron of football called 'Old Trafford'
• The influence of Eric Cantona and what individuals can do to a team environment
• How golf came into Lee's life and ultimately became a support after his football career ended.
• The first round at Heaton Park in Manchester starting with 3 balls and losing 2 on the first!!
• Falling in love with the game of golf
• The role of golf psychology in his early development

Going on a quest to see what is possible with his golf and the dream of the Seniors Tour. The benefits of golf from a mental health perspective. Giving purpose to each day. Being willing to explore a different way to play and learn the game.

A fascinating conversation with a top footballer and aspiring Senior Tour golfer

Today we are joined on the Mind Caddie with my good friend and top coach Randy Joyner.

Randy is one of the very best coaches in the USA

His record with junior and college players is outstanding

We talk often about the game of golf but I wanted to invite him on to get an American perspective on what happened over those 3 Ryder Cup days in New York state at Bethpage Black

His insights will really get you to think deeply about your own game and the direction you can take it this winter

We discussed:

• The role of captaincy and how Keegan Bradley may have had his hands tied by the USPGA
• The thinking behind course set up
• What IS effective preparation for TEAM GOLF
• What was REALLY going on with the crowd?
• The ability to RESET focus of attention even in the most trying of situations.
• How the role of PURSUIT and AVOIDANCE played a role in the way each team performed
• We then look at what YOU could do this winter to really make a difference to your game
• The MAGIC of LOW POINT control

You will gain so much from this very entertaining conversation
