Sports parents get counsel from Coach Tim and GSL on how to stop worrying and—for some—stop living vicariously through your kid; also, GSL says he feels safe in Mexico and how he played—wait for it—only for fun. Sponsored by TaylorMade Golf Canada and Par4success.com
We dive into Tim’s new YouTube video Why Your Child is Under-Performing—And What to Do About it

  • Many kids give up sports (and music) because of over-involved parents

Hosted by The Sonar Network, Swing Thoughts explores the often overlooked inner game of golf. This isn't a technical breakdown of swing mechanics or equipment reviews. Instead, each conversation delves into the psychology, the pressures, and the unspoken mental challenges every golfer faces, from the weekend warrior to the touring professional. Guided by golf expert Tim O'Connor and Humble Howard Glassman, the podcast creates an engaging space where the mental hurdles of the game are openly discussed and dissected. Listeners will find a blend of personal anecdotes, practical strategies for overcoming frustration and maintaining focus, and insightful commentary on the mindset required to play better and enjoy the game more. The discussions are grounded in real experience, offering relatable perspectives that go far beyond simple tips. Tuning into this podcast feels like eavesdropping on a thoughtful conversation between two knowledgeable friends at the nineteenth hole, where the topic always returns to what happens between the ears before, during, and after a shot. It's for anyone who has ever stood over a putt and felt their confidence waver, or who wants to understand how the mental landscape directly shapes performance on the course. Swing Thoughts builds on the idea that great audio is a theater for the mind, making a show about golf's mental side a perfect fit.
