Ep 232 - Wednesday Wisdom – Is It Burnout… Or Have You Lost the Passion?

Please Complete The Listener Survey Here We hear a lot about burnout in golf — particularly with juniors and high-performance players. But is burnout always simply a result of doing too much? In this Wednesday Wisdom, I explore the relationship between burnout, passion, pressure and enjoyment. Why can one golfer practise and play for hours and still be desperate to get back out there the next day, while another feels completely drained by the same workload? Sometimes the difference might be how we view what we're doing. “I have to practise.” “I have to go to the gym.” “I have to play today.” What happens when we change that language to: “I get to practise.” “I get to train.” “I get to play golf.” We discuss why loving the process matters, the difference between choosing to work hard and feeling obligated to work hard, and why coaches and parents should look beyond simply how many hours a golfer is putting in. Because perhaps the question isn't just “Are you doing too much?” It might also be: “Do you still love what you're doing?” As mentioned in my podcasts, I do offer training programs to help you get better at your practice outside of your lessons with your coach! email me for more information [email protected] Training Aids & Discount Codes Back 2 Basics Putting – Use the code YGP10 for 10% off or Click Here for 10% off Divot Board –Use the code YGP for 10% off or Click here for 10% off Strike Wedge – Click Here for 15% off Ryp Golf Speed Training – use the code YGP at check out for 10% off!
