The State of Coaching Today – Kendal McWade #356

Author: Karl Morris April 25, 2025 Duration: 1:21:38

Could you look at the game from a different perspective?

Today we welcome back a very great friend and colleague Kendal Mcwade from Instinctive Golf

Kendal has had a huge impact on my own coaching as well as many other players and coaches.

He has been a pioneer in exploring the nature of learning

We had the chance to look deeply into the nature of learning and how we try to develop in the game of golf

  • How can we deepen awareness?
  • Hitting objects with tools – natural motion
  • What is the nature of deep learning?
  • Have we lost a deep connection to how we use and utilise tools?
  • What innate capabilities have we hidden from view?
  • The joy of 'messing around' and creating shots
  • Keeping the brain FULLY engaged
  • Deliberate shanks, deliberate toe shots
  • Deliberate tops
  • Hitting drivers of grip length tees
  • Exploring what the club can actually do
  • Hitting the 'Bomb Draw'
  • The golfing hammer

Just a wonderful conversation with a very deep thinker about the game who has influenced so many players and coaches

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.
