#144 - Confidence Pt 5: Pro Golfer Jocelyn Bruch on Using These Tools On The Course

MP3•Episode home

Today, I’m joined by Jocelyn Bruch: Indiana individual state champion, Division I golfer at Purdue, national championship competitor, and now a professional who just returned from Q-School.

We dig into the real tools she used in competition — not theory — to calm nerves, trust her preparation, and perform when it counts:

Diaphragmatic Breathing (16+ seconds, not 2!) to lower heart rate and get present
FMR (Forced Muscular Relaxation) to release tension before swings and putts
Go-To Statement she repeats before every shot to push out negative thoughts
Caddie Game-Plan Meetings and a simple “got it” cue to protect her routine
Earned / Shows / Trained Confidence (and why “fake it till you make it” cracks under pressure)
Using the book out of order to solve immediate problems, then spot-checking before rounds

If this helps you, please share it with a teammate, parent, or coach who could use a practical confidence framework.
