128 (18STRONG): The incredible Power of Focus with Henry Boulton

What this episode covers

Today I am very excited to announce our guest, Henry Boulton. Henry is one of the creators and designers of FocusBand – a wearable brain training headband that measures your brain activity. Usually, the starting point for training has been technique. You start with technique, work on fitness and then finish with mind training. Henry takes the point of view, though, that you should be training the mind first. Get your mind right, and everything will get better together. In this interview, we talk about how Henry developed the FocusBand with his father Graham, and how it is helping golfers play better golf. Henry Boulton’s Background * Henry has developed 3D bio-mechanical training systems, and is an electronics engineer and entrepreneur. * He is the Director of Golf at SwingLab * Henry is a TPI Fitness Instructor Level 1 (Titleist Performance Institute) Since 2007 Highlights from this Episode * How Henry got the idea for FocusBand, and how it helps golfers to change the way their mind works in regards to golf. FocusBand is very much related to the work Henry did as an electronics engineer. * We talk about the difference in ‘frequency’ that the left and right parts of the brain operate in. We discuss why each part is important in different ways, and how to switch from one to the other when it’s appropriate to do so. * The routine Henry goes through with golfer’s he trains when they step up to the tee. It all starts with the mind. * The importance of mindfulness and present state awareness. We talk about a few specific techniques, such as breathing, that anyone can do to make themselves more present and mindful. * How to use things like mindfulness to help acquire new skills. * The best way for people to access a FocusBand, and where they can go to learn how to use it most effectively. The website has in-depth training on the product to ensure people get the most out of it. Caddy Shack or Happy Gilmore?
