How to beat the Yips forever | Jason Kuhn

In today's episode, we're talking about the 'thing' that has ended careers. The word that nobody wants to say out loud in a clubhouse. We're talking about beating the yips. Today's guest is Jason Kuhn, a former college pitcher whose career ended when he got the Yips. Devasted, he wanted to prove to himself that he was mentally tough. So he decided to become a Navy Seal. After he served, he came back to the United States and started working with pitchers who were dealing with the same issue that ended his career. He has had a ton of success and has been featured in Sports Illustrated for his work with Tyler Matzek.Timestamps [5:40] Transformative Power of Overcoming Challenges[7:48] Advice to Younger Self[12:34] Team First Mentality[19:59] Cause and Effect[20:34] The Danger Zone[22:09] Root Cause of Yips[29:26] The Lack of Arm Strength Development in Most Programs[31:56] Coaching Players Who Struggle to the Yips [48:59] The Comprehensive Solution to the Yips[50:12] The Time Frame of Removing the Tension[1:12:08 ] Rebuilding the Foundational Trust[1:16:52] Advice to kids who are struggling[1:18:25] PurposeFollow Jason KuhnTwitter: @jasonkuhn255Follow Jason KuhnTwitter: @jasonkuhn255Check Out Patrick's Stuff:• 📬 Patrick's Weekly Recruiting Newsletter – Get insights on college recruiting, player spotlights, and advice for parents and coaches.
