288: Matt Myers - Become a Better Golfer One Pushup at a Time (Q2 2026 Check-in)

We've got another check-in with Nerd Fitness Matt.
Ok, sure, these are thinly-veiled selfish conversations with my fitness coach. But also I firmly believe they're a peak for you into the mindset that builds real consistency and actual results with fitness, nutrition, habits, self-care, and just general relationship with ourselves and what we need.
Hope you learn more about yourself listening to this.

287: Gary Belsky - The Mental Game Difference Between Pros and Amateurs

If you've ever played your best golf alone but fallen apart the moment others are watching, this episode is for you.
In this conversation, Gary Belsky makes a compelling case that solo golf isn't just a scheduling convenience — it's a mental training ground that can rewire how you handle pressure, self-criticism, and the performative noise that creeps in during a round. You'll walk away with some fresh perspective on why the mental game is so hard, and a genuinely practical tool for building it.
Gary is a New York Times bestselling author, journalist, and decision-making expert who spent 14 years at ESPN, and his newly released book Solo Golf: The Zen of Playing Alone and How It Can Transform Your Game is unlike anything else in the genre.

286: Andreas Kali - Embracing Discomfort, Exposing False Practice, and Earning Real Confidence

Andreas Kali is a golf coach based in Denmark who works with nine professional golfers across four tours, including players ranked inside the top 50 in the world. He's spent the better part of two decades coaching, and his philosophy runs counter to a lot of what you see or hear — harder practice, honest feedback, and no false confidence. Things that I love and agree with.
This is going to be a conversation that makes you reflect on your own improvement process and how you could be getting more from yourself.
Here's are the topics we hit:
The Importance of Getting It Wrong
Practicing Under Pressure and Discomfort
Balancing Mastery and Competition
The Role of Statistics in Improvement
The Importance of Being Present in Golf
The Evolution of Practice Techniques
Redefining the Purpose of Playing Golf
Passion and Curiosity in Coaching
Knowing When Your Swing is Good Enough
Mental Approach Over the Ball
The Balance of Math and Creativity in Golf
Calming the Mind: Overcoming Performance Anxiety
The Importance of Perspective in Golf
Coaching Styles: Balancing Tough Love and Support
How do Pros Structure and Plan Their Improvement
The Future of Coaching: Personal Growth and Development
Expectations vs. Reality: Insights from Tour Events
Are Danish Golfers the Best Ball Strikers?

285: The Question That's Rewiring My Golf Brain

You ever feel like the mental game advice you try doesn't stick? That's because most mental game advice is superficial and not effective in high-pressure moments. Including some of the stuff I've put out.
That's because there has to be a deeper layer underneath that advice for your mental game to actually be effective. In this episode, we dive into that.
Key topics:
The Ineffectiveness of Common Mental Game Advice
Understanding Yourself: The Key to Improvement
The Five Whys: A Deep Dive into Self-Reflection

284: Jeff Troesch - Great Golf Requires Imbalance, Confidence is Overrated, and How to Think Like a Better Golfer

Jeff Troesch is a mental performance coach to major champions on PGA Tour and LPGA Tour, Olympians, and athletes in nearly 100 other sports.
He has just released a new book titled One Day Better: Mental Performance Concepts to Transform Your Game and Life. It contains 150 one or two-page lessons on the most important facets of performance. It's unlike anything else I've read in any other mental game book. I've been reading it and I find myself taking in one facet and spending that day chewing on just that one. I like this way of going about mental game improvement.
This conversation was great. Jeff has 40 years of experience helping the best athletes access their skill when it matters, and that comes through on this episode.

283: Matt Young - Why Your Golf Game Spirals (and How to Regain Control)

Matt Young is an Emotional Change Specialist. His expertise is in helping people move past their limiting beliefs and protective/automatic emotions in order to access their best as often as possible. Matt's an avid golfer himself, and in this episode we we dive in to some real-world case studies of PGA Tour players, as well as Matt's (and my own) golf game to discuss the deeper psychology of how and why we tend to do what we do on the course, and how to overcome it.

282: Rye Stinson - How to Be Great At Golf, Successful at Work, and Avoid/Navigate Injury

Rye Stinson is perhaps the only person in the world who is all of these things: Occupational Therapist, Certified Hand Therapist, TPI M3 Certified, AND has qualified for a U.S. Mid-Amateur, which he did in 2024.
So I took that as an opportunity to dive right into how on earth he is so successful in his work while also being such a high level player. He plays humble, but he shared some great wisdom for how he does it.
We also get into the nuances of injuries, navigating the healthcare system when it comes to diagnoses, dealing with apathetic orthopedic surgeons, and what to do if you are in fact injured. I really enjoyed this conversation (hence why we went so long!) so I think you will too.

281: How to Take Your Game from Indoors to Outdoors

It's that time of year. You've been working hard on your game all offseason, grinding on your swing, getting things dialed, and now it's almost time (or is already time) to get outside and play.
But what typically happens when you do that? If you're like me, everything you worked on all winter can seem to go right out the window when you touch real grass. That terrible feeling of all that practice not even doing any good.
Well I propose a better way. This episode is all about how to ready your game for getting outdoors and playing golf, not golf swing.

280: John Dunigan - You Care Too Much About Your Golf Swing

John Dunigan is the cofounder of the Practice Golf Coach app. I haven't used the app personally yet, but one of my mental coaching clients uses it and he swears by it. He's sent me screenshots and it looks awesome. It uses AI combined with John and cofounder Dr. Will Wu's expertise and experience to build you custom workouts that change with you as you enter in more data. I'll have to check it out.
But this was an awesome conversation with John. He's extremely passionate about golfers practicing better and having a more well-rounded view of their game and improvement. Which is a soapbox I've been standing on for a long time, before and since starting this podcast.

279: Andy Gorman - Putting Better is Easy

Andy Gorman is ThePASS (The Putting And Shortgame Specialist). And this episode is truly all about putting.
If you wonder why you don't putt better, whether you have the right putter for you, why you don't putt well under pressure, why you under-read so many putts, and then exactly how to address all of these things... then you're going to love this episode.
Andy is both extremely knowledgable about the ins and outs of every detail of the putting stroke, but he's also able to consolidate that info into very simple practices, fundamentals, and feelings that will instantly help you putt better. I've already been trying some of the things he told me about and I feel much more comfortable and confident over putts. Pretty cool stuff.
Here's a sample of the many topics we cover on this episode:
How life pressure is tied to golf pressure
The dangers of comparison to other players or the leaderboard
The one fundamental key to improving putting
What to think standing over a putt
Should you change your putting technique?
Is it better to be correct or consistent?
Why was (is? 👀) Tiger so good at putting?
How to stop under-reading greens
The biomechanics of the putting stroke
The 10-10 Drill to calibrate green speed and stroke length
The psychology of putting pressure
Putting yips
