Deepening your level of ACCEPTANCE – Raymond Prior PhD #350

Deepening your level of ACCEPTANCE – Raymond Prior PhD #350

Author: Karl Morris March 14, 2025 Duration: 48:51

The ultimate mental game skill

Today on the Mind Caddie we welcome back my good friend and colleague Dr Raymond Prior.

Raymond is one of the top performance consultants in the world. He works with some of the very best golfers in the world on the PGA Tour as well as athletes from many other sports and also actors and entertainers.

He is the author of a wonderful book 'Golf Beneath the surface'

We also co contributed to a great program called:

'Stable Confidence'

The foundations of stable confidence are a willingness to accept ALL and EVERY possible outcome you may face in a round or in a tournament.

In today's conversation we deepen the understanding of developing the skill of ACCEPTANCE

We discuss what acceptance is and perhaps more importantly what it isn't.

  • It is not giving up or resignation
  • It is not being 'happy' with poor outcomes
  • It is not feeling comfortable all the time
  • It is a willingness to embrace the REALITY of the game
  • Why your brain is 'primed' to focus on avoidance
  • Your brain doesn't care about golf it cares about SURVIVAL
  • How can we begin to work with and understand this?
  • How can we actually develop acceptance skills? Yoga and cold water, what is the link?
  • Why being in a state of pursuit is so important
  • What is the flow state actually like?

This conversation WILL really make a difference to your game. It is a wonderful discussion about the crucial skill of ACCEPTANCE

Karl Morris has spent years working as a performance coach with some of the best golfers in Europe, and in Mind Caddie-Improve Your Mental Golf Game, he shares that expertise directly with you. This isn't just about swing thoughts or technical fixes; it's a deep, practical exploration of the psychology that dictates performance on the course. The conversation moves beyond simple positive thinking to address the real challenges players face: handling frustration after a bad hole, maintaining focus over eighteen holes, and building a resilient confidence that doesn't vanish under tournament pressure. Each episode feels like a personal session, breaking down the mental frameworks used by tour professionals into actionable strategies for any committed player. You'll hear discussions on managing expectations, creating effective pre-shot routines, and understanding how your brain can be your greatest asset or your biggest obstacle. The aim is to provide the tools that help you access your best game more often, turning those range sessions into reliable performance when it truly counts. Tune into this podcast for honest, nuanced talks that get to the heart of why we play the way we do, offering a distinct advantage that has nothing to do with new equipment and everything to do with the space between your ears.
