Golf coach Mitch Farrer might be one of the best technical minds in the sport — but what stood out most in our conversation wasn’t swing mechanics. It was mindset.
We talked about how the best players don’t wait for pressure to find them — they train for it.
They build stress into practice, create consequence, and learn how to perform when their heart rate spikes.
Mitch put it perfectly:
“Simulate pressure in practice so the game feels easy. Most people do the opposite.”
We also unpacked:
Why nerves are a sign that something matters
How to practice confidence, not just mechanics
Why experience under pressure is the best mental training there is
If you’re a coach or athlete, this episode is a reminder that mental performance isn’t something you “work on later” — it’s built into how you train today.
