💡 Coach's Corner
You've likely heard me mention before how the mental game seems to be the toughest "nut to crack" when it comes to junior golfers (or any golfer, really). It's an area we've struggled with enormously as
parents with our competitive golfer, especially not knowing what to say during challenging times.
We reached out to Trevor Tellin, a mental performance coach, for the first edition of this Q&A. We met him through Instagram, but love his enthusiasm for coaching and how he can dissect actions and statements from professional golfers and turn it into actionable steps for the rest of us.
Trevor was kind enough to answer numerous questions we thought parents of junior golfers would want to know.
One of my favorite responses was when we asked Trevor what
his personal philosophy was for building mental toughness with junior golfers: "You already have what you need. I believe we all have the wisdom, intelligence, and skills within us. Often it’s just about uncovering those abilities, dusting them off, and getting out of our own way. And lastly, keep it simple. We overcomplicate things far too often. The simpler we keep it, the better we perform." Well said
Trevor!
