Have you ever been curious as to what a sport psychology coaching session actually sounds and feels like? In this episode, you are going to find out.
I have the unique permission and opportunity to share a recent session I did unpacking the mind and the golf game of Jayden Ramos, a senior at St. Ignatious High School in Northern California. Jayden has committed to play golf in college at Hawaii next year and he is one of our newest members of MPGA

Jayden is currently experiencing some challenges in his game especially in the areas of consistency and thinking more positively around the course. In this process of rebuilding, he's recognized the importance and need of mental training for his game. He has heard of MPGA and decided to give it a shot. And ever since he's joined, he has been all in. Last week, we put out a gratitude challenge where members had to reflect on 3 good things that happened each day and reflect on them. Each member was asked to share their reflections and insights within the MPGA community and that we would select a winner at the end of the week who showed most consistency and deliberate practice throughout the exercise. Jayden wrote his reflections everyday for 7 days straight and has continued on, hence he was our winner for that challenge. He won a gift session with me and Coach Johnathan, another mastering mindset coach inside the MPGA academy and we were given the permission to share this session with you all here.
Jayden’s perspective to mental training is fascinating and he demonstrates a maturity well beyond his years. In this episode, we unpack the difference between a perfectionistic mindset vs a progressionistic mindset, a phrase Jayden introduced to me. We also talk about his approach of letting go of control to gain control, to focus only on the process, and how best to get into the neutral zone. We ended the session discussing various post shot routines and specific examples that my clients have used. If any of these topics interest you, this is an episode (or rather session) you don’t want to miss.
This is my first time sharing a student/coach session with you and I hope you enjoy it as much as I had. Here is Jayden Ramos inside the MPGA academy.
