In this episode, Karl interviews renowned performance coach Steven Yellen. They discuss Steven’s new book, which delves deeper into the principles of fluid motion and sports performance, specifically in golf. Key topics include the importance of building and accessing fluid motion, the dangers of unnecessary swing changes, and the role of the basal ganglia in storing motion memory. Steven shares insights from his collaboration with top sports neuroscientist Dr. Fred Travis and explains how elite golfers can avoid 'swing prison' by creating a threshold level of wholeness. Practical advice on achieving wholeness and timing in the golf swing is provided, along with discussions on common missteps and how to build a strong foundation for consistent performance. 00:00 Introduction and Greetings 00:36 Discussing the New Book 01:05 The Importance of Motion in Sports 01:37 Challenges of Swing Changes 02:31 The Role of Basal Ganglia in Motion Memory 04:05 Risks of Swing Changes for Elite Players 06:15 Human Nature and the Desire to Improve 14:18 The Concept of Wholeness in Fluid Motion 21:37 Practical Steps to Achieve Wholeness 25:11 Understanding Wholeness in Golf 25:49 Practical Application: Shallowing the Club 26:44 Associating Wholeness with Swing Changes 28:19 Evaluating Wholeness During Practice 28:54 The Role of Abstract Criteria in Golf 32:05 The Importance of Internal Learning 35:07 Programming the Golf Swing 38:36 The Ideal Pre-Shot Routine 45:02 The Science of Silence: Tiger's Secret 52:11 Final Thoughts and Resources To book YOUR Mind Caddie workshop go to www.themindfactor.com To start your free 7 day trial of Mind Caddie go to https://www.mindcaddie.golf/
