Take a Hard Look at Your Mental Habits w/ Raymond Prior (Re-release part 2)

2023-09-05

On this episode we’ve got part 2 of our re-release of my all-time favorite episode of the podcast. It’s from the very first conversation I had with Raymond Prior titled Golf Beneath the Surface released back in February of 2022.

And it’s the way I believe we should all be addressing our own improvement.

Again, this conversation was formative for me because it completely shifted my focus from the surface level mental game that we read about and hear on social media to deeper level psychology that actually gets at the heart of the issue. And it’s the way I believe we should all be addressing our own improvement. Rather than jumping from one quick fix to the next, instead taking the time to address what’s at the heart of our struggles. As Prior says, patiently and systematically working on something might be a slow road, but it’s still the fasted road to sustainable change.

So I hope you learn as much as I did in talking to Raymond Prior. I think you can even hear how I’m being challenged on my thinking during this episode. So I encourage you to take some notes and commit these things to belief.
