Jaden is a junior golfing phenom. He is currently 12yo and is one of the hottest junior golfers in the world.
In this episode, we get a sneak peak into the training and development of this young phenom through the lens of his father, Chris. Through the development of Jaden's branding, media management, caddying, travel agent, coach, and dad - we explore what it's like to actually raise an elite junior golfer and all that it entails.
What I most appreciate about this interview with Jaden's dad, Chris, is his willingness to share his vulnerability around the fact that there is no playbook for this... and a lot of what he is doing is through the support of his community and seeking his own personal development so that he can show up as a father to Jaden first and foremost - and find ways to give Jaden his best, while also making it fun, and enjoyable along the way.
In this episode we talk about the challenges of raising a junior athlete and the importance of mental training at the right developmental age.
There are many great resources for this and my team and I are putting on a mental skills challenge for anyone to get introduced to mental performance training and what the benefits are for yourself and your child. If you are interested in participating, I will be going LIVE for 3 days talking about mental skills and how to move through mental blocks. Not only will you go live with me for 3 days, but you will also receive videos, worksheets, and more resources to help kick start this mental training process for you.
