ABOUT THIS EPISODE:
In this episode of Wicked Smart Golf, host Michael Leonard interviews Jim Doorley, a PhD in clinical psychology and former sports psychologist for Team USA. Doorley is the primary psychologist behind Kairo, a groundbreaking AI-driven mental training and visualization app.

Here's what you'll learn in this episode:

️🧠 The Power of Mind Programmability: How to consistently feed your brain the right inputs to prime yourself for automatic, successful execution under pressure.
️🧠 Scientific Benefits of Visualization: Why mental rehearsal physically rewires the brain’s motor cortex and how it can be used to accelerate skill development and injury recovery.
️🧠 Process over Outcome Visualization: Why you should focus on controllable behaviors and mindsets rather than uncontrollable results like winning a tournament.
️🧠 The Synergy of Mental and Physical Training: How combining these two modalities yields significantly better results than physical practice alone.
️🧠 Managing Performance Anxiety: How to reframe stress as a tool for high performance and prevent negative thoughts from becoming "self-fulfilling prophecies".

And a lot more mental game tips to increase confidence and play better than ever.
