There's no way I can miss 10 00:00:36,719 --> 00:00:39,240 e let given the ball, and that's what the mentally 11 00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:42,960 tough athlete thanks. They always want the ball. They always 12 00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:45,560 see the next shot as an opportunity, and they keep 13 00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:49,600 on shooting, shooting, shooting, And people in all that are 14 00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:52,159 not my light top don't do that. They're defeated when 15 00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:53,560 they get to the course that are defeated. 16 00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:56,240 Speaker 4: If they get three holes in, they started bogey, double bowie, 17 00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:58,719 it's all over. They don't think that way more. We 18 00:00:58,799 --> 00:00:59,479 help people in. 19 00:00:59,439 --> 00:01:02,799 Speaker 3: This program understand that the whole bowl of golf is 20 00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:05,040 to be able to walk up to your golf ball 21 00:01:05,359 --> 00:01:08,359 and see an opportunity to do something amazing. 22 00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:12,319 Speaker 4: The highlight reel is virtually never from the tea box 23 00:01:12,439 --> 00:01:13,200 or the center of the fair. 24 00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:17,879 Speaker 3: With the highlight reel is from impossible situations, tough lines, 25 00:01:18,079 --> 00:01:20,000 no view of the pin, You got to hook it around, 26 00:01:20,359 --> 00:01:22,879 go over something, you made a long putt to save par, 27 00:01:23,439 --> 00:01:25,599 you were down that you weren't out, You came back 28 00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:27,640 and you made five birdies to finish the round. I 29 00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:29,920 mean that's the stuff that highlight reels a right. So 30 00:01:30,519 --> 00:01:33,400 instead of hitting the ball somewhere that you don't like 31 00:01:33,599 --> 00:01:38,640 in saying this sucks or now I'm screwed, why not say. 32 00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:39,799 Speaker 4: This is perfect? This couldn't be better. 33 00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:42,439 Speaker 3: Because when I put this ball around this tree and 34 00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:44,560 a bounce between those buckers and a coast of. 35 00:01:44,519 --> 00:01:46,680 Speaker 4: The cut, this crowd is going to lose their mind. 36 00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:56,239 Speaker 3: And that's how a mentally tough athlete thinks. 37 00:01:56,599 --> 00:01:59,599 Speaker 1: Jeff Ritter's preview of his upcoming fifty two week Make 38 00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:02,400 the Turn Challenge.

I'm sure whatever their Saturday is, 187 00:08:54,039 --> 00:08:57,159 they may work on weekends and Wednesday is their Saturdays. 188 00:08:56,759 --> 00:08:57,960 Speaker 4: Right exactly. 189 00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:01,000 Speaker 3: You know, the weekend challenge is just you know, it's 190 00:09:01,039 --> 00:09:03,279 a good moniker for a program like this, and if 191 00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:07,159 somebody doesn't complete the challenge, it doesn't mean that the 192 00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:10,159 next time they go out they don't actively participate or 193 00:09:10,159 --> 00:09:12,000 work on it. You know, it's just sort of something 194 00:09:12,039 --> 00:09:14,639 we can put out every single week for fifty two weeks, 195 00:09:14,639 --> 00:09:16,480 and it's something people can look forward to. 196 00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:18,600 Speaker 4: So certainly they can choose the day that works best 197 00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:20,759 for them. But of course if they don't complete the 198 00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:21,919 challenge day one, now they know. 199 00:09:21,919 --> 00:09:24,240 Speaker 3: That they get something to work towards and they can 200 00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:27,120 infuse that practice session with that sense of purpose that we're. 201 00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:28,200 Speaker 4: Trying so hard to supply. 202 00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:30,919 Speaker 1: So let me play this skeptic here for a minute 203 00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:36,720 on this idea, if you don't mind without me offending you. So, 204 00:09:37,639 --> 00:09:40,600 you're not requiring a lot of time in each challenge. 205 00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:42,039 Speaker 4: Not at all, not at all. 206 00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:44,480 Speaker 3: I mean in the time that you're normally going to 207 00:09:44,519 --> 00:09:47,960 dedicate at the golf course. It's just adding purpose to 208 00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:51,519 that time that you're already setting aside pretty much. 209 00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:54,120 Speaker 1: And so that is key, is just adding a purpose 210 00:09:54,720 --> 00:10:01,480 exactly exactly. So I do challenge the first five, six, 211 00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:05,919 seven weeks, and now we're starting now the eighth week, 212 00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:08,480 ninth week. Now I'm starting to get into the rhythm 213 00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:10,919 of each each week you have a different challenge, but 214 00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:15,480 you're going to be repeating these. What's going to remind 215 00:10:15,519 --> 00:10:17,519 me of what challenge one was when I get to 216 00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:21,080 week ten and why that was important at that time 217 00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:22,240 but it's no longer important. 218 00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:23,720 Speaker 4: Yeah. 219 00:10:23,759 --> 00:10:26,879 Speaker 3: Well, basically all the challenges will be listed on to 220 00:10:26,879 --> 00:10:28,960 make the Turn blog, so you can actually go back 221 00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:31,799 there and catalog the challenges and make sure. 222 00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:35,279 Speaker 4: That you can reference them. They're all going to be important. 223 00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:37,519 It's one of these things where just because you. 224 00:10:37,519 --> 00:10:40,600 Speaker 3: Completed it, it doesn't mean that it's being left behind, 225 00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:45,039 you know. So for example, if you've completed you know, 226 00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:47,360 five to the fitness challenges, these are all things that 227 00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:51,240 are designed to be sort of combined together that can 228 00:10:51,279 --> 00:10:52,639 actually become a. 229 00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:54,120 Speaker 4: Relevant workout routine for you. 230 00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:56,600 Speaker 3: You know. But right now I'm not saying you have 231 00:10:56,639 --> 00:10:57,960 to get into a workout program. 232 00:10:58,039 --> 00:11:00,679 Speaker 4: I'm challenging to get up in the morning and learn 233 00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:01,000 how to. 234 00:11:00,919 --> 00:11:04,000 Speaker 3: Stretch properly with one basic stretch or challenging you get 235 00:11:04,039 --> 00:11:06,360 up in the morning and do a balance drill, or 236 00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:09,559 get up in the morning and spend five minutes doing 237 00:11:09,639 --> 00:11:12,039 some kind of a strength based drill that can be 238 00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:14,559 done in the comfort of your own home. And you know, 239 00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:18,279 life is all about building momentum. You know, anyone who's 240 00:11:18,279 --> 00:11:20,279 really gotten involved with fitness knows that. You know, the 241 00:11:20,279 --> 00:11:23,120 first day you go out there, you know, it feels like, 242 00:11:23,159 --> 00:11:24,960 you know, the moment that you move or stretch or 243 00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:26,799 pick something up, it feels like your muscle is going 244 00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:27,639 to rip off the bone. 245 00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:30,120 Speaker 4: It's it's a terrible thing, you know, the first time you. 246 00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:34,399 Speaker 3: Experience fitness, if you are if you are unfit, or 247 00:11:34,399 --> 00:11:36,840 if you're not conditioned for that. But the moment you 248 00:11:36,879 --> 00:11:40,960 start to see yourself becoming more flexible or feel yourself 249 00:11:41,039 --> 00:11:43,440 getting stronger, or you don't have that soreness, the next 250 00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:45,240 day you can. 251 00:11:45,159 --> 00:11:46,879 Speaker 4: Go farther and farther into the program. 252 00:11:46,919 --> 00:11:49,399 Speaker 3: That's where you start building that momentum where you you 253 00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:50,840 really want to go to the gym and you want 254 00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:51,320 to push it. 255 00:11:51,279 --> 00:11:51,879 Speaker 4: Harder, you know. 256 00:11:51,919 --> 00:11:56,480 Speaker 3: So this is all about creating you know, challenges that 257 00:11:56,519 --> 00:11:59,240 are that are doable, but they are are challenging, you know, 258 00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:02,720 revealing you might have a deficiency. But once you complete 259 00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:05,279 a challenge, inspiring you to go ahead and tackle another one. 260 00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:08,000 Speaker 1: Wow, I thought I was going to be a bad 261 00:12:08,039 --> 00:12:10,720 guy and throw out something you wouldn't have an answer for. 262 00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:20,679 Now I'm curious, so we've got let's review what the 263 00:12:20,879 --> 00:12:23,360 the categories of challenges are again mental. 264 00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:27,919 Speaker 3: Well, so we'll start with the golf performance, which, yeah, 265 00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:33,440 the technical aspect of proficiency, right, and then there's mindset, fitness, 266 00:12:33,759 --> 00:12:34,600 and nutrition. 267 00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:36,720 Speaker 4: Those are four key categories. 268 00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:38,720 Speaker 1: Define mindset. 269 00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:43,480 Speaker 3: Mindset would be you know, the attitude which is the 270 00:12:43,919 --> 00:12:46,879 precursor to each and every action that you have throughout 271 00:12:46,879 --> 00:12:49,200 the day. 272 00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:57,720 Speaker 1: Okay, so let's okay, golf proficiency, mindset, fitness, nutrition. 273 00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:01,840 Speaker 3: You got it. Golf performance, we'll say golf perform, golf performance, golf. 274 00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:04,240 Speaker 4: Performance, mindset, fitness and nutrition. 275 00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:09,799 Speaker 1: All right, let's uh, let's start. Let's I'm really, I'm 276 00:13:09,879 --> 00:13:13,039 so curious. I want to do one challenge of each 277 00:13:13,519 --> 00:13:16,240 of these and that that's well, we'll cover the rest 278 00:13:16,279 --> 00:13:19,159 of the uh the next twenty minutes. Well, let's do that. 279 00:13:19,399 --> 00:13:22,000 So I'm sure that you. I know that you can 280 00:13:22,039 --> 00:13:25,559 put five minutes into each of these. We've talked so 281 00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:27,399 many times. I know you can give me a five 282 00:13:27,399 --> 00:13:28,519 minute answer if you need to do. 283 00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:31,240 Speaker 3: Yeah. Well, and some of these are going to be 284 00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:33,480 you know, all these challenges that I'm doing, they're going 285 00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:36,000 to be video based challenges, so not only can you 286 00:13:36,159 --> 00:13:38,519 hear what I say, but you can see me demonstrating 287 00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:41,039 the challenge right before your eyes. So some of these 288 00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:43,759 right here are going to be pretty difficult to explain, 289 00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:45,639 such as the stretch that I have going. 290 00:13:45,759 --> 00:13:49,200 Speaker 1: But but no, I'll just you will do it slowly 291 00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:51,919 and I'll do it along with you. You'll I'll get there, okay, 292 00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:54,120 So listen, I've done yoga for golfers a number of 293 00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:56,960 times in this show. I can we can get across 294 00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:57,879 anything in audio. 295 00:13:58,639 --> 00:14:00,799 Speaker 4: Well cool, and the one I'm going to give you today. 296 00:14:01,039 --> 00:14:02,080 Some are more difficult. 297 00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:05,320 Speaker 3: So the first challenge, which is a short game based challenge, 298 00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:07,120 is probably not a challenge that you would start with. 299 00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:08,279 Speaker 4: But I'm going to throw it out there anyway. 300 00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:09,000 Speaker 1: So I love it. 301 00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:11,039 Speaker 3: You know, when people go out to the golf course, 302 00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:13,720 they buy a bucket of balls and they just start 303 00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:16,879 whacking them. You know, and when it comes to putting, 304 00:14:16,919 --> 00:14:18,480 you know, they'll drop down two or three balls and 305 00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:20,360 I'll put them around for a few minutes and they say, well, 306 00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:23,559 I got my putting practice in. And also if they 307 00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:26,440 do have a couple of drills that they've learned, you know, 308 00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:29,480 those drills get stale after time. So one of my 309 00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:33,000 one of my favorite drills over the years is a 310 00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:35,159 it's a four shot short game drill. 311 00:14:35,559 --> 00:14:37,600 Speaker 4: And what someone's going to do it it's important that 312 00:14:37,639 --> 00:14:40,919 they can find a decent short game area to practice at. 313 00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:43,000 Speaker 3: Doesn't have to be perfect, doesn't have to be like 314 00:14:43,039 --> 00:14:46,639 it's one of PGA West or some Race Jones masterpiece 315 00:14:46,759 --> 00:14:47,240 right like that. 316 00:14:47,279 --> 00:14:48,759 Speaker 4: But you know, we would like to be able to 317 00:14:48,759 --> 00:14:49,919 set up four different shots. 318 00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:54,559 Speaker 3: A fifty yard pitch, a fifteen yard pitch that goes 319 00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:56,919 over a mound or over a bunker to the green, 320 00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:01,600 a forty five foot chip, and then also a fifteen 321 00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:05,799 foot putt. So basically, what they're going to do is 322 00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:09,399 they're going to take ten balls and put them at 323 00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:14,039 each one of these locations, and the goal is to 324 00:15:14,159 --> 00:15:17,039 take as much time over each shot. So, for example, 325 00:15:17,039 --> 00:15:19,200 if you're doing the forty five foot schip, you're going 326 00:15:19,279 --> 00:15:22,799 to take as much time over each shot as if 327 00:15:22,799 --> 00:15:24,279 you were trying to get up and down during a 328 00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:25,879 round of golf. So we're trying to get away from 329 00:15:25,879 --> 00:15:28,840 that rapid fire aspect. 330 00:15:28,919 --> 00:15:30,399 Speaker 1: Of practice of the bucket. 331 00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:35,879 Speaker 4: Yeah, to try and practice like you play right, sweep. 332 00:15:35,559 --> 00:15:39,080 Speaker 1: And swing sweep and swing sweep and swing sweep, sweep 333 00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:40,879 the ball in front of you, hit it. Sweep the 334 00:15:40,879 --> 00:15:41,919 ball in front of you, hit it. 335 00:15:42,559 --> 00:15:45,279 Speaker 3: So once you hit your ten shots from fifty yards 336 00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:48,120 and then hit your ten shots you know in the 337 00:15:48,159 --> 00:15:52,320 pitching shipping rotation, and then you roll ten puts from 338 00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:55,320 fifteen feet, you're going to go back to these places 339 00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:57,799 and you're going to hit one shot and you're going 340 00:15:57,879 --> 00:15:58,960 to play that shot. 341 00:15:58,799 --> 00:16:00,559 Speaker 4: Out to the hole right. 342 00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:04,440 Speaker 3: So your goal to complete this challenge is the number one, 343 00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:08,360 hit all of your shots with that encore style attitude 344 00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:12,600 and then hit one shot, get all the shots up 345 00:16:12,639 --> 00:16:15,080 and down and make the fifteen foot putt. 346 00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:17,279 Speaker 4: That's a harbor preak. 347 00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:20,480 Speaker 1: Yes it is. That's the way. So after you've done so, 348 00:16:20,519 --> 00:16:25,759 now you've got you've given four different shots, taking ten 349 00:16:26,159 --> 00:16:30,919 swings each right or whenever, reiterate this yep, okay, and 350 00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:33,559 then when you finish those forty shots, you want to 351 00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:37,639 go back to your fifty yard pitch with one ball 352 00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:42,679 right and do the fifty yard pitch, but you want 353 00:16:42,679 --> 00:16:44,919 to get it up and down right. I see, Then 354 00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:46,559 you want to go back to your fifteen yard pitch 355 00:16:46,639 --> 00:16:48,399 and get it up and down right. 356 00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:51,120 Speaker 4: Yes, so the complete challenge. 357 00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:54,120 Speaker 3: You have to get all three shots up and down 358 00:16:54,279 --> 00:16:57,919 and make the putt to complete the challenge. So that 359 00:16:58,039 --> 00:16:59,840 that's a challenge that you could go out and do 360 00:17:00,159 --> 00:17:03,639 every time you practice a short game, right. So this 361 00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:05,880 is one of those challenges where I would be very 362 00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:09,359 surprised if people were able to complete it that day. 363 00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:10,640 Speaker 4: But that's why it's challenging. 364 00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:14,599 Speaker 3: So it's going to really show you how important short 365 00:17:14,599 --> 00:17:14,960 game is. 366 00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:15,799 Speaker 4: It's going to show. 367 00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:20,160 Speaker 3: You, you know, what your deficiencies might be and where. 368 00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:25,079 But any professional golfer could could go out and very 369 00:17:25,079 --> 00:17:27,559 easily complete complete this challenge. 370 00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:32,640 Speaker 1: I love this challenge. Yeah, I really love this challenge. 371 00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:36,400 I think I'm not going to sneak out now that 372 00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:40,039 the sun is it's not daylight saving time, you know, 373 00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:42,839 the local golf course, it's going to get dark early 374 00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:44,319 enough where I can get to a hole that no 375 00:17:44,319 --> 00:17:47,839 one's going to be around. I'm not really doing that. 376 00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:52,920 Speaker 4: I'm actually enough Fred. You know, if you've got a nice, decent. 377 00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:56,039 Speaker 3: Practice bunker in proximity, you could have a shot and 378 00:17:56,079 --> 00:17:58,960 do the same thing for about ten to twelve year 379 00:17:58,960 --> 00:17:59,599 old bunker shot. 380 00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:04,880 Speaker 1: Okay, a bunker shot for just a greenside bunker. 381 00:18:04,599 --> 00:18:06,559 Speaker 4: Shot, right, bunker shot, Yeah, exactly. 382 00:18:06,839 --> 00:18:10,000 Speaker 1: That's a phenomenal challenge. Oh that is so good. Okay. 383 00:18:10,039 --> 00:18:13,079 Fifty yard pitch, fifteen yard pitch, forty foot and ship 384 00:18:13,319 --> 00:18:17,440 forty five foot chip, fifteen foot put and then a 385 00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:18,400 green side. 386 00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:19,960 Speaker 4: Bunker greenside bumker shot. 387 00:18:20,039 --> 00:18:26,119 Speaker 1: Yeah, nice, very good. Okay, that is a great make 388 00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:28,359 the turn performance challenge. 389 00:18:28,559 --> 00:18:31,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, and that is a challenge that I actually got 390 00:18:31,799 --> 00:18:34,799 years ago. I saw it in Golf di Just magazine. 391 00:18:35,039 --> 00:18:36,640 You got to give credit where credit is due. I 392 00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:40,759 believe Jack Kin, Jack Nulkin had a I think it 393 00:18:40,799 --> 00:18:41,720 was a breaking. 394 00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:42,960 Speaker 4: Maybe one hundred and ninety or eighty, and that was 395 00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:43,279 in there. 396 00:18:43,279 --> 00:18:44,599 Speaker 3: But I think it's one of the drills that he's 397 00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:47,680 done over the years with his tour pros and whatnot. 398 00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:50,000 Speaker 4: And also his client. So I stole that from Jack Lumpkin, 399 00:18:50,039 --> 00:18:50,400 and that was. 400 00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:52,359 Speaker 1: Part of my challenge and I just stole it from you. 401 00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:57,680 I'll take full credit, Hurt. That's a good one, all right, 402 00:18:57,799 --> 00:18:59,680 let's move on to the mindset challenge. 403 00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:01,359 Speaker 4: Mindset challenge. 404 00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:06,880 Speaker 3: Well, in golf and also in life, we believe that 405 00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:10,559 people are at their best when they feel their best. 406 00:19:10,559 --> 00:19:13,559 Speaker 4: Would you agree with that form yes? Yes, okay. 407 00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:17,880 Speaker 3: So the way we understand performance with the psychology of 408 00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:22,759 performance is that your thoughts are where the whole chain starts, 409 00:19:22,759 --> 00:19:26,480 and thoughts turn into feelings. Feelings then become actions, and 410 00:19:26,559 --> 00:19:30,920 actions then become results. So as I'm working with my 411 00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:33,359 clients to help them understand that there's a formula which 412 00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:35,599 is and this is not going to be proper English, 413 00:19:35,599 --> 00:19:39,920 but we say think good, feel good, play good, and 414 00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:43,440 then we say think bad, feel bad, play bad. So basically, 415 00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:47,000 how you think during the round of golf is always 416 00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:51,599 either elevating or knocking down your mood. So we try 417 00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:53,400 and help people understand that if they're going to be 418 00:19:54,079 --> 00:19:58,640 playing at the pinnacle of their ability, then they always 419 00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:02,519 have to be elevating their mood into a positive circumstance 420 00:20:02,519 --> 00:20:05,400 as much as possible on the golf course. So what 421 00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:09,519 we do is we have an exercise in awareness. And 422 00:20:09,599 --> 00:20:12,400 this is our mindset challenge and it has to do 423 00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:13,920 with paper clips. 424 00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:15,880 Speaker 4: So what we're going to. 425 00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:18,839 Speaker 3: Have the folks do is they're going to go grab 426 00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:22,799 a handful of paper clips, maybe twenty to fifty, and 427 00:20:22,839 --> 00:20:25,119 they're going to shove them in their front pocket and 428 00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:26,920 they're going to tee off on the first whole thread. 429 00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:32,240 And every time they have a negative thought or reaction, 430 00:20:33,279 --> 00:20:36,640 either to a shot they hit or anything going on 431 00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:37,319 in the golf. 432 00:20:37,079 --> 00:20:39,160 Speaker 4: Course, they have to recognize that. 433 00:20:39,319 --> 00:20:41,519 Speaker 3: Take one paper clip from their front pocket and they 434 00:20:41,559 --> 00:20:43,359 have to stick it in their back pocket. 435 00:20:43,279 --> 00:20:47,279 Speaker 1: And jam it in their legs. 436 00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:51,240 Speaker 3: They have to empty their back pocket and have to 437 00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:55,000 they have to count how many times their thinking is 438 00:20:55,240 --> 00:21:01,240 killing their performance. Interesting, Yeah, and that's something that you know, 439 00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:03,680 I do with all my competitive players, something that I 440 00:21:03,759 --> 00:21:06,519 do in all of my junior golf camps in Pebble Beach, 441 00:21:07,079 --> 00:21:10,559 and it's really revealing, you know. 442 00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:11,559 Speaker 4: How negative people are. 443 00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:14,039 Speaker 3: And the thing is is that I'm not saying that 444 00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:16,400 we're looking for someone to be positive all the time. 445 00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:20,119 You know, puppies and butterflies and all that stuff, But 446 00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:24,200 the number of times people kill themselves they're thinking throughout 447 00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:27,880 a day and also the golf course, it's astonishing. I 448 00:21:28,079 --> 00:21:30,440 could give someone a hundred paper clips and believe me, 449 00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:32,759 you know, for them to finish nine holes if they 450 00:21:32,759 --> 00:21:34,200 have a negative attitude might be. 451 00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:34,880 Speaker 4: A tall order. 452 00:21:35,599 --> 00:21:37,880 Speaker 3: So it's really all about awareness and the goal is 453 00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:42,960 to understand that you control your thinking, which means that 454 00:21:43,039 --> 00:21:46,640 you control your mood. And the more you control your mood, 455 00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:48,799 the more control you're going to have over your game 456 00:21:49,279 --> 00:21:51,559 in your score. So it's all about the art of 457 00:21:51,599 --> 00:21:54,359 awareness and being able to knock down some of that 458 00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:56,559 negativity over time. And of course that's a challenge which 459 00:21:56,599 --> 00:22:00,559 can be helpful both on the golf course and off. 460 00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:10,119 Speaker 1: And an example, you're on the tea box and you, uh, well, 461 00:22:10,279 --> 00:22:11,960 you know, you hit a drive. You feel like it's 462 00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:13,559 a good drive, but it ends up at a bunker 463 00:22:13,559 --> 00:22:16,559 and you go, oh, tiger, right. Isn't nobody always hells 464 00:22:16,599 --> 00:22:20,160 it himself? I mean, is that what we're talking about? 465 00:22:20,319 --> 00:22:23,079 Or is it when you tee off and the ball 466 00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:26,519 just just big right turn from the start and you 467 00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:28,519 just know as soon as you strike it, you know 468 00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:32,240 this is not going to be good. Is it a reaction? 469 00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:33,599 Is it a negative reaction? 470 00:22:34,599 --> 00:22:39,000 Speaker 3: It's it's a it's a negative thought or reaction to 471 00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:39,680 to anything. 472 00:22:39,839 --> 00:22:40,000 Speaker 4: You know. 473 00:22:40,039 --> 00:22:42,160 Speaker 3: So for example, you can walk up to your ball 474 00:22:42,799 --> 00:22:45,839 and you can say, I can't believe my ball is 475 00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:47,720 in this divit boy, I just got screwed. 476 00:22:47,759 --> 00:22:51,559 Speaker 4: Can you believe this? Right? That's that's negativity, right. 477 00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:54,680 Speaker 3: And if you hit a ball and it goes out 478 00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:58,359 of bounce, that's negativity. And the thing is that, you know, 479 00:22:59,279 --> 00:23:02,680 William shakes your fred nothing is good or bad until 480 00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:07,480 thinking makes it so. So you have a choice. Every 481 00:23:07,519 --> 00:23:10,599 time you walk up to a ball, make a swing, 482 00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:12,920 see a result, you have a choice. You have a 483 00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:15,319 decision as to how you're going to respond to it. 484 00:23:15,799 --> 00:23:19,240 And the disciplined athlete, the one that's mentally tough, knows 485 00:23:19,279 --> 00:23:22,880 that when they have negative thoughts and reactions to outcomes, 486 00:23:23,319 --> 00:23:27,079 they are diminishing, knocking down their mood, which is going 487 00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:30,559 to affect their performance in the law run. So basically 488 00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:35,279 there's an attitude which basically feeds off of this paper 489 00:23:35,279 --> 00:23:38,599 clip drill and weares drill. It's called the shooter's mentality 490 00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:41,799 and it comes from basketball and true story. So Michael 491 00:23:41,839 --> 00:23:45,920 Jordan goes out first night, you know, during a four 492 00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:48,559 or five game series, whatever, he's playing, and he goes 493 00:23:48,599 --> 00:23:52,119 out and he is on fire. Every time he gets 494 00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:54,920 the ball, throws it up, boom switch, nothing but net. 495 00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:57,440 And I always talk to my kids about this, so 496 00:23:57,480 --> 00:23:59,079 I say, okay, Now Michael. 497 00:23:58,880 --> 00:23:59,480 Speaker 4: Jordan goes out. 498 00:23:59,599 --> 00:24:03,759 Speaker 3: Heil his first ten shots, nothing but net, nothing but net, 499 00:24:03,839 --> 00:24:04,559 nothing but net. 500 00:24:04,599 --> 00:24:05,279 Speaker 4: What is he thinking? 501 00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:07,960 Speaker 3: You know? The kids are like, he's thinking, this is great. 502 00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:10,200 They say, he can give me the ball. That's what 503 00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:13,680 he's thinking. He's thinking, this is perfect, this couldn't be better. 504 00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:16,759 Speaker 4: Give them the ball. I won fire. Well, the next 505 00:24:16,839 --> 00:24:17,240 night he. 506 00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:19,400 Speaker 3: Goes out and he's playing the same team, and of 507 00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:20,960 course everyone on his team is the same. 508 00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:23,400 Speaker 4: The crowd might even be the same. They got season tickets. 509 00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:26,319 Speaker 3: And he goes out and he has the exact opposite 510 00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:28,960 start to the game. Instead of making his first ten, 511 00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:32,559 he actually misses his first ten airball brick. I mean, 512 00:24:32,599 --> 00:24:34,319 he doesn't have his best stuff. So I see the 513 00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:37,960 kids what is he thinking? And the first kid says, 514 00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:39,079 he's thinking, don't give me the ball. 515 00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:43,240 Speaker 4: I said, no, it's not what he's thinking. He's Michael Jordan, 516 00:24:43,559 --> 00:24:44,200 give me the ball. 517 00:24:44,319 --> 00:24:46,720 Speaker 1: Give me the ball. It's going to turn any moment. 518 00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:51,599 Speaker 3: He's thinking this is perfect, this couldn't be better. I 519 00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:54,079 missed my first ten. There's no way I can miss 520 00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:56,680 all that and give you the ball. And that's what 521 00:24:56,759 --> 00:24:59,960 the mentally tough athlete thanks. They always want the ball. 522 00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:03,799 They always see the next shot as an opportunity, and 523 00:25:03,799 --> 00:25:07,960 they keep on shooting, shooting, shooting. And people in golf 524 00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:10,960 that are not mentally tough don't do that. You know, 525 00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:12,839 they're defeated when they get to the course. 526 00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:13,440 Speaker 4: They're defeated. 527 00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:15,519 Speaker 3: If they get three holes in and they started bogey, 528 00:25:15,559 --> 00:25:16,680 double bowie, it's all over. 529 00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:19,039 Speaker 4: They don't think that way, you know. 530 00:25:19,079 --> 00:25:22,119 Speaker 3: So the more we help these these kids and also 531 00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:25,319 my clients and people in this program understand that, you know, 532 00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:28,640 the whole bowl of golf is to be able to 533 00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:32,079 walk up to your golf ball and see an opportunity, 534 00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:37,000 an opportunity to do something amazing. The highlight reel is 535 00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:39,839 virtually never from the tea box or the center of 536 00:25:39,839 --> 00:25:43,279 the fair with. The highlight reel, you know, is from 537 00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:47,400 impossible situations. You know, tough lines, you know, no view 538 00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:49,359 of the pin, you got to hook it around, go 539 00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:50,400 over something, you made. 540 00:25:50,279 --> 00:25:52,799 Speaker 4: A long putt, you know, to save par. 541 00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:55,240 Speaker 3: You know you were down, that you weren't out, and 542 00:25:55,319 --> 00:25:57,519 you came back and you made five birdies to finish 543 00:25:57,519 --> 00:25:57,920 the round. 544 00:25:57,960 --> 00:25:59,960 Speaker 4: I mean, that's the stuff that highlight reels are. 545 00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:03,480 Speaker 3: So instead of hitting a ball somewhere that you don't 546 00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:07,519 like in saying this sucks or now I'm screwed, why 547 00:26:07,559 --> 00:26:09,440 not say this is perfect. 548 00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:10,880 Speaker 4: This couldn't be better. 549 00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:13,440 Speaker 3: Because when I put this ball around this tree and 550 00:26:13,519 --> 00:26:15,880 a bounce between those bunkers and a coast of that cut, 551 00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:18,759 this crowd is going to lose their mind, you know. 552 00:26:18,839 --> 00:26:22,319 And that's how a mentally tough athlete thinks. And that's 553 00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:24,720 what we're going to try and do, and start with 554 00:26:24,759 --> 00:26:28,759 this little paper clip challenges, building the art of awareness, 555 00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:32,599 recognizing that your thoughts are killing you and count how 556 00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:35,480 many times that's happening, and then from there be able 557 00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:37,680 to start knocking down the number of times you kill 558 00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:41,079 yourself until you turn yourself into a mentally tough performance. 559 00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:47,000 Speaker 1: I have, actually multiple times I know that when I 560 00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:49,920 will have a bad first hole or all three put 561 00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:52,440 a hole something like that, it's like my attitude is, 562 00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:55,240 oh good, got that out of the way. Now I 563 00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:57,359 don't have to worry about doing that again, you know, 564 00:26:57,400 --> 00:26:59,640 it's not going to come back, all right? Is that 565 00:26:59,759 --> 00:27:01,640 kind of a similar to what you're talking about. 566 00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:04,480 Speaker 4: You know, it's it's a positive way to look at it. 567 00:27:04,519 --> 00:27:06,480 Speaker 3: I think you could flip it around a little bit 568 00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:08,640 more and be even more excited. 569 00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:11,279 Speaker 4: But it's a good start. It's not looking at it 570 00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:12,920 in a negative light. 571 00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:17,119 Speaker 3: And it's funny because when I do this exercise with 572 00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:21,359 the kids in my camps number one, they see how 573 00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:23,759 much they clill themselves, and then we start working on 574 00:27:23,799 --> 00:27:27,359 some of these practices such as the shooter's mentality, and 575 00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:29,000 the next day they could have come back and say, 576 00:27:29,079 --> 00:27:31,039 Coach Chet, I can't believe it. 577 00:27:31,039 --> 00:27:31,839 Speaker 4: It worked. You know. 578 00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:33,480 Speaker 3: I got over the ball. I said, this is going 579 00:27:33,519 --> 00:27:35,160 to be awesome. I can't wait to hit the shot. 580 00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:37,839 I got myself pumped up, you know, I was relaxed, 581 00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:39,960 you know, I was excited to engage in the shot, 582 00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:41,559 and all of a sudden, the ball started going towards 583 00:27:41,559 --> 00:27:44,319 the hole, you know. And it's it's just amazing how 584 00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:48,559 much control we actually do have over our performance, and 585 00:27:48,599 --> 00:27:49,039 we do. 586 00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:53,640 Speaker 4: Things that we've been conditioned to. 587 00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:56,359 Speaker 3: Do, and we don't realize that it's been fit into 588 00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:59,200 us through conditioning and the moment you realize that you 589 00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:01,880 have a choice and you think, and you're thinking. 590 00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:02,920 Speaker 4: Really does affect your performance. 591 00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:05,240 Speaker 3: It's easy to start shifting it, you know, more in 592 00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:07,720 your favor, but it is something that happens over time. 593 00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:12,359 Speaker 1: Another excellent challenge, and you can do fifty of these 594 00:28:12,519 --> 00:28:14,720 fifty two of these fifty two. 595 00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:17,680 Speaker 4: Wow, it's only thirteen in each category. It was actually 596 00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:19,400 pretty easy to come up with this, right. 597 00:28:19,559 --> 00:28:23,160 Speaker 1: Well, and as you have already admitted, you're not creating 598 00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:25,200 all these you're taking them from other resources that you've 599 00:28:25,279 --> 00:28:28,559 used in the past. Absolutely great, Well, I just love 600 00:28:28,559 --> 00:28:30,960 them anyway. All right, let's move on to next would 601 00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:32,240 be the Fitness Challenge. 602 00:28:32,839 --> 00:28:33,880 Speaker 4: Fittest Challenge. 603 00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:38,960 Speaker 3: So when it comes to stretching, people understand that it's 604 00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:41,759 important to be loose some numbers to prevent injury, but 605 00:28:41,839 --> 00:28:45,880 also maximize range of motion to increase clubhead speed and 606 00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:49,039 power and all that good stuff. But instead of trying 607 00:28:49,079 --> 00:28:52,319 to do ten different stretches before you go to the 608 00:28:52,319 --> 00:28:55,119 golf course. At the golf course, I'm going to introduce 609 00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:58,640 to you one stretch to start with that might be 610 00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:02,400 the only stretch you ever need, called the World's Greatest Stretch. 611 00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:08,599 Speaker 1: Fread the world's greatest stretch. Fred. Wow, how what a coincidence? 612 00:29:09,039 --> 00:29:14,400 Speaker 3: World wretch Comma, Okay. 613 00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:19,880 Speaker 1: An exclamation point for enthusiasm, Okay, Fred, Fred, Okay, we'll 614 00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:22,039 just call this stretch Fred. 615 00:29:22,279 --> 00:29:26,880 Speaker 4: That's right. It's called the world's greatest stretch. And it's 616 00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:28,279 actually a stretch. 617 00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:31,799 Speaker 3: That I learned in my time training at a facility 618 00:29:31,839 --> 00:29:33,680 here called athletes Performance. 619 00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:35,200 Speaker 4: I don't know if you've heard of athletes. 620 00:29:34,839 --> 00:29:40,799 Speaker 3: Performance before, but Athletes's Performance is. It's an amazing place. 621 00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:41,720 Speaker 4: It's not a gym. 622 00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:45,880 Speaker 3: It's actually an off season haven for the world's greatest athletes. 623 00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:48,200 And when I was training there, you know, I was 624 00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:51,839 training alongside no More Garcia Para and Mia Hamm. 625 00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:55,920 Speaker 4: And Nikolai, Cobby Bullen and Marlon. 626 00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:58,920 Speaker 3: Jackson of the Indiapolis Colts, and the list goes on and. 627 00:29:59,039 --> 00:30:02,559 Speaker 1: Oh cool, and that's the Phoenix area. I'm sure where 628 00:30:02,599 --> 00:30:03,759 they all congregate in the winter. 629 00:30:04,519 --> 00:30:09,599 Speaker 3: Last year, Athletes' Performance turned out fifteen first round NFL 630 00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:12,119 draft picks. 631 00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:13,359 Speaker 4: It is the real deal. 632 00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:17,240 Speaker 3: So back in the day, for they were actually located 633 00:30:17,279 --> 00:30:20,720 within walking distance of my lesson tee at the time, 634 00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:21,960 which was at Arizona State. 635 00:30:22,039 --> 00:30:25,160 Speaker 4: They actually had a partnership with Arizona State. 636 00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:28,920 Speaker 3: They built their training facility on Arizona State property. 637 00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:31,799 Speaker 1: Wasn't that the Solheim Center. 638 00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:32,880 Speaker 4: Oh it was. 639 00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:36,759 Speaker 3: Different, different, okay, but that's where it was, and it 640 00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:40,759 was it was absolutely massive, and I got a chance 641 00:30:40,759 --> 00:30:42,599 to go over there every day before I started teaching 642 00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:45,799 and actually train with their trainers in a pretty cool program, 643 00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:47,319 and it really changed my life. And one of the 644 00:30:47,319 --> 00:30:51,559 things that we learned was one of these stretches called 645 00:30:51,559 --> 00:30:53,960 the World's Greatest Stretch. It was part of our movement 646 00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:57,039 prep in the morning before we actually went out and 647 00:30:57,119 --> 00:31:00,599 started lifting weights and doing all our strength based practices. 648 00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:04,880 So if you were at a Major League Baseball event, 649 00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:07,440 like I know you're a baseball fan, or an NFL 650 00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:11,960 game prior to the start of kickoff, or a soccer 651 00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:14,119 match or whatnot, you might see players out there doing 652 00:31:14,119 --> 00:31:16,160 their pregame warm ups and you might see them doing 653 00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:18,640 a stretch known as the World's Greatest Stretch. And the 654 00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:22,720 reason why it's called the World's Greatest stretch is that 655 00:31:22,799 --> 00:31:25,640 within a couple of moves that are all linked together, 656 00:31:26,119 --> 00:31:30,039 this stretch hits your hamstrings, your hit flexus. 657 00:31:29,599 --> 00:31:32,400 Speaker 4: You're growing works on balance and. 658 00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:35,240 Speaker 3: Improves trunk rotation, so it does all of these things 659 00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:39,000 in one move. So the challenge would be for people 660 00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:41,000 to get up in the morning, go ahead and take 661 00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:43,119 the counch and move it aside, or walk out back 662 00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:45,240 and go ahead and try the stretch, which is going 663 00:31:45,279 --> 00:31:47,720 to really get them understanding more about number one, what 664 00:31:47,759 --> 00:31:50,519 their limitations are. But give them one move that they 665 00:31:50,519 --> 00:31:53,359 can master to improve a lot of various relevance to 666 00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:56,000 feeling better and also of course performing better. 667 00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:04,119 Speaker 1: Do we get to know what the world's good stretches? 668 00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:05,279 Do we get to do it? 669 00:32:05,839 --> 00:32:08,640 Speaker 4: I'll describe it. So the first thing you want to 670 00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:10,759 do is you would want to sort. 671 00:32:10,559 --> 00:32:13,640 Speaker 3: Of stand in attention as if you were in the military, right, 672 00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:17,680 so abs drawn in, chest out, shoulders back, chin up, 673 00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:20,039 and then you're gonna go into a lunge. 674 00:32:20,119 --> 00:32:22,079 Speaker 4: Most people know what a lunge is. So let's say 675 00:32:22,079 --> 00:32:23,359 you leave your left foot in place. 676 00:32:23,759 --> 00:32:25,920 Speaker 3: You're gonna go ahead and stride forward and go into 677 00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:28,960 a nice deep lunge to balance yourself. You go ahead 678 00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:32,000 and put your left hand out to the side, and 679 00:32:32,039 --> 00:32:35,640 then you're gonna take your right forearm and you're going 680 00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:37,839 to try and press it way down to the ground 681 00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:41,400 so that your elbow is right to the inside of 682 00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:42,279 your right end step. 683 00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:43,960 Speaker 1: So when you do okay, now I'm trying to do this, 684 00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:46,119 but wait a minute. So I'm standing at attention and 685 00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:48,079 I lunge with my left or my right foot. 686 00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:52,039 Speaker 3: You're gonna lunge with your right foot, okay, and then 687 00:32:52,039 --> 00:32:54,039 you're gonna ahead and put your left hand down sort 688 00:32:54,039 --> 00:32:56,799 of a balance. And now you're gonna take your right 689 00:32:56,960 --> 00:32:59,720 forearm and you're gonna try and touch it the whole 690 00:32:59,759 --> 00:33:00,960 way down to the ground. 691 00:33:01,839 --> 00:33:06,240 Speaker 4: So that's your right form is right inside the right instep. 692 00:33:06,519 --> 00:33:10,920 Speaker 3: Of your shoe, and you should feel quite a stretch 693 00:33:12,119 --> 00:33:13,559 in that left hip flexer. 694 00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:17,000 Speaker 4: Oh that's good, and also probably in the in the 695 00:33:17,039 --> 00:33:17,759 right growing area. 696 00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:22,839 Speaker 1: Oh. I like that, So that is a good one. 697 00:33:23,720 --> 00:33:27,440 Speaker 4: So from there, you're going to leave your left hand 698 00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:27,880 in place. 699 00:33:28,920 --> 00:33:31,039 Speaker 3: You're gonna lift up your right arm and you're going 700 00:33:31,119 --> 00:33:34,839 to reach it up and over like you're looking over 701 00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:37,039 your right shoulder. So now I'm gonna get some trump 702 00:33:37,119 --> 00:33:41,640 rotation in there. Reach for the sky, turn your head 703 00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:43,960 to the right. Try and look at your fingers as 704 00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:45,279 you reach over your right shoulder. 705 00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:46,960 Speaker 4: It's not that par fright. 706 00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:51,680 Speaker 1: I'm in pain today anyway, so that's not a great 707 00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:54,000 thing to be doing. Doing this. 708 00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:57,279 Speaker 4: The next thing you're gonna do, d is you're gonna 709 00:33:57,279 --> 00:33:59,960 take that right hand and I'll put it outside your 710 00:34:00,079 --> 00:34:01,519 right foot, so your. 711 00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:03,119 Speaker 3: Left hand and your right hand are sort of on 712 00:34:03,319 --> 00:34:07,240 the ground, you know, even separation. But now your right 713 00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:09,559 hand is outside your right knee and your right hand 714 00:34:09,639 --> 00:34:11,639 is down outside your right foot. 715 00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:15,159 Speaker 1: I feel like we're playing the game twister. Shouldn't you 716 00:34:15,199 --> 00:34:16,159 just say right hand? 717 00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:16,519 Speaker 3: Red? 718 00:34:18,119 --> 00:34:19,320 Speaker 1: That's what it feels like. 719 00:34:20,039 --> 00:34:23,199 Speaker 3: Once you do that, Fred, you're gonna rock back towards 720 00:34:23,199 --> 00:34:25,840 your left foot and you're gonna take your right toe, 721 00:34:26,119 --> 00:34:27,920 lift it off the ground and try and bring it 722 00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:28,760 up towards your nose. 723 00:34:29,519 --> 00:34:31,880 Speaker 4: And you should feel a huge hamstring stretch. 724 00:34:32,039 --> 00:34:36,039 Speaker 1: Wow. And this is what I love about podcasts that 725 00:34:36,079 --> 00:34:37,800 I can back this up and go, okay, now what 726 00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:38,519 did he say again? 727 00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:44,280 Speaker 4: Once you do that, there is more. 728 00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:48,519 Speaker 3: Once you do that, you're gonna explode off your back 729 00:34:48,559 --> 00:34:51,920 foot and you're going to try and stick your landing 730 00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:55,000 so that you're standing just on your right foot and 731 00:34:55,079 --> 00:34:57,400 your left leg is up in front of you as. 732 00:34:57,280 --> 00:34:58,880 Speaker 4: If you're going to take your next step forward. 733 00:34:59,599 --> 00:35:00,800 Speaker 1: And going to your next lunch. 734 00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:04,400 Speaker 4: Exactly. Wow, stick it for just one second. 735 00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:07,320 Speaker 3: So the way that you know football players and baseball 736 00:35:07,360 --> 00:35:09,480 players and these other athletes do this. They'll actually go 737 00:35:09,559 --> 00:35:12,159 out to let's say the football field, and they'll stand 738 00:35:12,199 --> 00:35:14,960 on the goal line and they will do the world's 739 00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:16,880 greatest stretch for ten yards out. 740 00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:18,960 Speaker 4: They'll turn and do it for ten yards back. 741 00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:20,400 Speaker 3: Right. 742 00:35:20,559 --> 00:35:22,199 Speaker 4: So it's nice to have a little bit of room. 743 00:35:22,239 --> 00:35:23,480 You don't have to have that much. 744 00:35:23,400 --> 00:35:26,079 Speaker 3: Room, but it's great if you can sort of link 745 00:35:26,119 --> 00:35:28,360 these motions together. So this is more of an active 746 00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:32,719 stretch versus a passive stretch. You know, active is moving 747 00:35:32,760 --> 00:35:36,760 through one motion into another, as opposed to just taking 748 00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:38,679 a body part, pinning it somewhere and holding it. 749 00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:44,360 Speaker 1: Excellent. That's a good one, man. That's if you can. 750 00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:46,440 Speaker 3: Learn how to do that, that is literally the only 751 00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:48,639 stretch you might ever need. And if you can start 752 00:35:48,679 --> 00:35:51,480 each day going out back with the dog or your 753 00:35:51,559 --> 00:35:54,719 kids ten yards out, ten yards back, you'll be amazed 754 00:35:54,760 --> 00:35:57,039 at how much loose you are, how much more ready 755 00:35:57,039 --> 00:35:59,280 you are for the day, and over time, how much 756 00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:01,280 you know pain in certain areas such as your hip, 757 00:36:01,360 --> 00:36:01,800 your back. 758 00:36:02,119 --> 00:36:05,119 Speaker 1: Okay, so I'm going to beg you, Jeff, to make 759 00:36:05,199 --> 00:36:08,800 that the third week challenge so that I can see 760 00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:12,599 the video as soon as possible.

But if you take it slowly on 764 00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:20,639 the audio, you'll figure it out. 765 00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:23,360 Speaker 4: And I will. 766 00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:25,559 Speaker 3: I will actually send you some information ahead of time 767 00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:26,880 because I've actually done that. 768 00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:28,679 Speaker 4: Stretch a couple of times in a few different amazing. 769 00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:30,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, So I can. 770 00:36:30,199 --> 00:36:33,480 Speaker 3: Send you over those links, and I can dig into 771 00:36:33,519 --> 00:36:38,039 my athlete's performance video archive and uh send that one 772 00:36:38,079 --> 00:36:42,039 over as well.

So yeah, if that one intrigues you 790 00:37:19,679 --> 00:37:22,639 as it much as it does me, then look at 791 00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:25,000 the show notes for the link, or just go to 792 00:37:25,039 --> 00:37:27,360 golf Smarter dot com and click on it. It'll be 793 00:37:27,440 --> 00:37:32,559 right there. Awesome, Okay. And then our final nutrition peak 794 00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:35,280 at the Make the Turn Challenge. 795 00:37:35,920 --> 00:37:42,960 Speaker 3: Yes, so nutrition, We'll just start with sugar consumption. Sugar 796 00:37:43,760 --> 00:37:45,599 is one of those things that we are learning as 797 00:37:45,639 --> 00:37:49,599 a society that is absolutely it's absolutely killing us. So 798 00:37:49,679 --> 00:37:53,079 it's all about, you know, starting the day and just 799 00:37:53,119 --> 00:37:56,960 for one day, try and remove sugar from your diet 800 00:37:57,039 --> 00:37:59,159 through the drinks that you consume. So a lot of 801 00:37:59,199 --> 00:38:03,880 people like drinking sodas and whatnot. They're full of sugar. 802 00:38:04,400 --> 00:38:08,480 The sodas that are diet in nature because of the 803 00:38:08,519 --> 00:38:12,039 sweeteners that they use. Artificial sweeteners might be worse for 804 00:38:12,119 --> 00:38:14,920 your health than the actual sugars that are part of 805 00:38:15,719 --> 00:38:18,159 the regular soas itself. So what I'm going to do 806 00:38:18,400 --> 00:38:22,199 is encourage people to try two things. Number One, if 807 00:38:22,199 --> 00:38:25,280 it's going to be cutting soda out. I want you 808 00:38:25,320 --> 00:38:27,360 to try a product called Zba. 809 00:38:27,480 --> 00:38:30,519 Speaker 4: Have you heard of Zeba? No I have not, So 810 00:38:30,840 --> 00:38:37,280 Zba is ze v i okay okay. 811 00:38:37,519 --> 00:38:43,440 Speaker 3: Zba is an all natural soda which is sweetened with 812 00:38:43,519 --> 00:38:48,400 a product called Stedia and Cedia is actually an erb 813 00:38:49,119 --> 00:38:52,840 that comes from New Zealand. It's entirely natural. It's actually 814 00:38:53,320 --> 00:38:57,159 sweeter than table sugar, but it's not actually sugar itself. 815 00:38:57,159 --> 00:39:00,559 It doesn't have an effect on your body's insult and levels. 816 00:39:00,559 --> 00:39:02,360 So the things that get out of wacked lead to 817 00:39:02,519 --> 00:39:06,280 weight gain and diabetes or whatnot. So it tastes great. 818 00:39:07,519 --> 00:39:09,639 Kate Monroe, who as you know, is my fiance, she's 819 00:39:09,679 --> 00:39:13,199 the nutritionist. She's actually sponsored by Zeba. 820 00:39:13,559 --> 00:39:16,400 Speaker 4: They send a truckload of this stuff to our house. 821 00:39:16,440 --> 00:39:19,440 Speaker 3: You use it in a lot of for nutrition consultations. 822 00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:21,440 And I used to be a big soda drinker and 823 00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:24,360 I switched over to this stuff. And now on a 824 00:39:24,400 --> 00:39:28,079 Sunday when I'm watching football, instead of having a traditional soda, 825 00:39:28,199 --> 00:39:30,159 I have a Zeba and it tastes great. It's got 826 00:39:30,159 --> 00:39:33,280 the physit it's a great soda replacement. You can go 827 00:39:33,360 --> 00:39:35,360 on their website, which is zb dot com, and you 828 00:39:35,400 --> 00:39:37,320 can find a retailer new you. We actually get it 829 00:39:37,400 --> 00:39:40,960 from from a place called Sprouts, which is a food 830 00:39:41,039 --> 00:39:43,320 chain here. I believe it's also a whole foods. It's 831 00:39:43,320 --> 00:39:45,000 showing up a lot of other places. I think now 832 00:39:45,079 --> 00:39:49,400 Southwest Airlines might actually carry it. Wow, that's an alternative if 833 00:39:50,159 --> 00:39:51,639 you're not a soda drinker. 834 00:39:51,840 --> 00:39:55,760 Speaker 1: Which I am not. Actually, my sugar consumption consists of 835 00:39:55,840 --> 00:39:59,440 two teaspoons of sugar, not sweetener, but sugar in my 836 00:39:59,559 --> 00:40:04,639 cup of decaf coffee in the morning, and that's pretty 837 00:40:04,719 --> 00:40:07,000 much it. I have a chocolate chip cookie at the 838 00:40:07,079 --> 00:40:09,920 end of the day maybe, but that's that's pretty much it. 839 00:40:10,079 --> 00:40:11,719 So do I really have to give that up? 840 00:40:12,320 --> 00:40:14,960 Speaker 4: Nope, But you know what you do? Yeah, you did 841 00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:15,840 have to give it back. 842 00:40:15,880 --> 00:40:21,920 Speaker 3: Because now you can actually buy instead of sweet and 843 00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:23,880 low or some kind of artificial sugar. 844 00:40:23,960 --> 00:40:24,760 Speaker 1: Yeah I don't like those. 845 00:40:25,239 --> 00:40:28,800 Speaker 3: You can actually buy stevia in powdered form or even 846 00:40:28,800 --> 00:40:30,920 a liquid form, and you can use it as a 847 00:40:30,960 --> 00:40:35,519 replacement in your coffee or tea's or even lemonades. So, 848 00:40:35,639 --> 00:40:37,639 for example, if I'm going to have lemonade, we'll just 849 00:40:37,639 --> 00:40:40,280 take fresh lemons, We'll squeeze them, we'll add the water. 850 00:40:40,400 --> 00:40:42,559 We'll throw in a couple of scoops of Stevia, and 851 00:40:42,599 --> 00:40:44,199 now you got lemonade without all the sugar. 852 00:40:44,639 --> 00:40:47,679 Speaker 1: Anyway, Stevia and zvia. 853 00:40:47,800 --> 00:40:50,920 Speaker 4: Right, So obviously Zeba is sweetened with Stevia.

We make it in the 863 00:41:09,280 --> 00:41:11,840 French press, and then I have my cup of coffee 864 00:41:11,840 --> 00:41:13,840 and I throw about one to. 865 00:41:13,800 --> 00:41:15,960 Speaker 4: Two little tiny scoops of steed in there. 866 00:41:16,280 --> 00:41:17,960 Speaker 3: So now I have the sweetness of my coffee, but 867 00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:20,920 I don't have the sugar that raises that is so. 868 00:41:20,960 --> 00:41:25,039 Speaker 1: I will definitely look into stevia and swear that next 869 00:41:25,079 --> 00:41:26,920 time I go to the East Coast, I won't go 870 00:41:27,039 --> 00:41:28,320 do a dunkin Donuts run. 871 00:41:29,880 --> 00:41:33,320 Speaker 3: So Fred, you can see that in just four weeks 872 00:41:33,360 --> 00:41:37,639 you've got some purpose with your short game. You're going 873 00:41:37,679 --> 00:41:40,800 to the golf course and you're adopting a mindset challenge 874 00:41:40,840 --> 00:41:43,079 that creates an awareness of how your thoughts are affecting 875 00:41:43,119 --> 00:41:44,760 your moods, which could help you on the course. 876 00:41:44,599 --> 00:41:45,360 Speaker 4: But also off. 877 00:41:45,800 --> 00:41:48,119 Speaker 3: You've learned the world's greatest stretch, and now you start 878 00:41:48,199 --> 00:41:50,920 to get looser, maybe sort of get rid of some 879 00:41:50,960 --> 00:41:53,920 of that pain that you have relative to your stiffness. 880 00:41:53,960 --> 00:41:55,679 And then all of a sudden you've been able to 881 00:41:55,679 --> 00:41:57,880 cut some of the sugar out of your diet. So 882 00:41:57,920 --> 00:42:00,119 it's a fifty two week challenge. Only four weeks, and 883 00:42:00,679 --> 00:42:02,199 look how much you've been affected already. 884 00:42:02,400 --> 00:42:05,840 Speaker 1: I like the purpose and awareness part and and the 885 00:42:05,880 --> 00:42:12,840 flexibility and less sugar.
