Phil Shomo Coaching: Adversity to Advantage

PGA Professional JAY HENDLEY believes there's a better way to teach the game than mere instruction on the driving range alone. Jay builds driving range work with on-course playing lessons all in one session, and it allows his students to not only learn the technical side but also learn how to apply the techniques to real-life golf.

Jay is currently the Assistant Golf Pro at Canongate Golf Club in Sharpsburg, GA. He has experience learning and teaching the game of golf alongside some of the greatest minds in the business at some of the greatest golf locations in the country including Sea Island, GA, Athens, GA, and Panama City, FL, with Tony Ruggiero at Dewsweepers golf.

In this conversation we touch on:
+ The JOY of personalizing golf instruction for each individual student.
+ How to utilize range time PLUS on-course time to maximize learning.
+ Holding onto HOPE through all the twists and turns and uncertainty.
+ The dream of using golf to impact more and more young people including kids who have no real chance to make golf a part of their daily life.

09 - CONFIDENCE: Turning that mysterious “thing” into an actual skill to improve

We all want CONFIDENCE. We crave that sense of certainty that confidence brings. And without it, we feel helpless, fragile, shaky, uncertain, and anxious.

But HOW do we actually HAVE CONFIDENCE?
Do we just force ourselves to BE confident by willpower, force, or positive thinking? What if we invest in positive thinking for days leading up to the performance and still fall flat on our face right out of the gate? What do we do with confidence then?

Confidence is NOT a thing you can tackle head-on. It doesn’t work like that and when we try to do it that way we come off with either (A) a false bravado or (B) a fragile anxiousness.

Confidence is more like FRUIT to grow and nurture where you work on the soil and the seed and the roots by doing the right things at that right times in the right ways and confidence grows on the end of the branch and it’s amazing.

To allow confidence to grow as a fruit of our deeper investments, the following FOUR KEY PILLARS can be a helpful place to start:

1. MEMORIES: Embedded emotional realities
2. PREPARATION: Advanced planning for multiple scenarios with WOOP
3. SELF-MANAGEMENT: Maintaining an optimal performance state through a process of (A) Calm (B) Clear (C) Committed skills
4. EXPERIENCE: Layered evaluative learning after the performance (Deep-Dive for the true treasure)
