@joshuagibson77 @CMcCormickGolf Expectations about score and perfection can create negative emotions during a bad hole. Every player will make mistakes on the course, so the key is to accept and refocus. Create a short word or phrase that helps bring focus back to the next shot. i.e. "present" "next shot"
You don’t need enough courage for the entire journey. You only need courage for a few seconds to overcome self-doubt before you take the next step.

@AlexAuerbachPhD Body language. If an athlete doesn’t appear to be confident, engaged or comfortable in competition/practice based on posture, eye contact, mannerisms, etc. sharing this observation can help them reflect on what was occurring for them.
Part of embracing the process is understanding that no matter how focused you are or how hard you work, you can’t force how fast the results come. Manage your emotions as things unfold, when results aren’t lining up with your expectations, keep focusing on what you can control.
