• How we can ‘Battle Back’ from adversity – Mark Shervill #377

  On today’s show we have a wonderful conversation with Mark Shervill a tremendous coach from the hidden gem that is Lilleshall Golf Club in Shropshire I have known Mark for very many years We first met when he was a PGA Trainee at The Belfry over twenty years ago. Since then he has spent time evolving himself into a really effective coach He spent many days with Nick Middleton from Zen Golf on the DP World Tour His approach is really holistic and embraces all aspects of the Body-Mind system He and his wife Lisa Shervill, a former Ladies European Tour professional run some fantastic programs at Lilleshall especially focused around junior development His enthusiasm is infectious Perhaps the work that gives Mark most pleasure though is his work with ex forces personel in the ‘Battle Back’ program Helping ex military men and women get back on track with their lives through the medium of golf. This is genuine contribution to the game and really makes you think about the sheer privilege we have just to be able to go out and play golf in a beautiful environment We discuss the importance of creating SHOTS and the sheer joy which can be gained in turning an image in your head to the reality of a beautifully struck shot Over 50 of Mark‘s pupils have now completed the Mobilise Your Swing Programme that Mark, Lisa and Aaron have created together combining physical, technical and mental aspects of golf with great results in all of these individuals from Junior to Senior Golfers. This great success has led them to  form the Shervill Golf Performance website where you can access the Mobilise Your Swing programme for yourself to help your body make the best golf swings possible!

• The Mystery of the Yips – Could this be the solution? – Trevor Jones #376

  Today on the Mind Caddie we are joined by a great guest in the shape of Trevor Jones. Trevor is a top Mental Performance coach who has done extensive research on the YIPS and more importantly has been finding ways to really make a difference to people who suffer from this debilitating issue. With a couple of esteemed colleagues he has put together a potentially revolutionary program We had a great discussion about Trevor’s own background, his own playing and what led him to have such an interest into the specific area of yips in golf and indeed in other sports How an individual lesson that didn’t work out well got Trevor thinking about a different approach to the yips What is causing more people to get the yips What is the mind actually trying to achieve with the yips? Is it technique or is it mental? The importance of the correct CONCEPTS Having a FLEXIBLE framework How more and more information can only cause more damage How RESISTING your experience is often the root of the issues The power of ACCEPTANCE and CURIOSITY Establishing ‘psychological safety’ Playing from a ‘safe place’ Stop trying to FEEL better and get better at FEELING What the ‘fear’ is really trying to do for us Being willing to ‘observe’ the yips The myth of the ‘perfect state’ How the individual is SACRED. Once size doesn’t fit all one size fits NONE You will gain so much from this very enlightening conversation To find out more about Trevor Jones go to https://www.trevorjonesgolf.co.uk/ To join us on the Mind Caddie journey go to https://www.mindcaddie.golf/ Shop with code : MINDFACTOR10 at checkout for 10% OFF your next order at www.fenixxcell.com @fenixxcell

The big difference between the SHORT GAME swing and the POWER SWING and why you need to know the difference. Learning a new set of physical skills The crucial element of the pivot in the short game Why you don’t have time to ‘save’ the shot in the short game in the way you do in the long game The difference between CLASSICAL chipping and MODERN chipping The debate between STEEP and SHALLOW, using the leading edge or using the bounce What is the real truth and is it a combination of the two The law of forward shaft lean and the low point How to turn your skills into SHOTS Taking your short game skills to the course As ever with Jim this is a brilliant conversation full of absolute gems of great information It would be impossible to listen to this podcast and not have a better and more clear approach to your scoring shots To find out more about Jim Waldron go to https://balancepointgolf.com/ To join us on the Mind Caddie journey to better golf go to www.mindcaddie.golf Shop with code : MINDFACTOR10 at checkout for 10% OFF your next order at www.fenixxcell.com @fenixxcell
