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

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

Author: Karl Morris September 26, 2025 Duration: 1:00:00

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

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.
