EPISODE FEATURED GUEST: DEBBIE O’CONNELL
Debbie is quite the accomplished woman. She is a two-time top 50 Best Female Teacher in America from Golf Digest, as well as a two-time top 50 best LPGA teacher. She was the inaugural recipient of the Nancy Lopez Golf Achievement Award. Debbie was the LPGA National Professional of the Year in 2002. Not only that, but she has a fantastic website called golfpositive.com. On top of all those achievements, she is also a motivational speaker and helps with corporate outings.
IN THIS PODCAST EPISODE YOU WILL LEARN:
You don’t always have to make that “hero” swing.
It’s not a failure if you learn something.
Debbie’s favorite quote/mantra: “The Optimist: Someone who figures that taking a step backwards after taking a step forward is not a disaster, it’s a cha-cha.”
That Debbie’s specialty is to help people get out of their own way.
The importance of getting your body in the best possible position and have your muscles prepared to swing.
How to get the right tension level by squeezing all of your muscles when you breathe in, then blow out and let the muscles go and relax.
Always be yourself, all the time.
If you’re in a slump, go right out to the course and hit those shots you have trouble with in a non competitive environment.
Debbie’s book recommendation: “Every Shot Must Have a Purpose”
If you stand like a superhero, your testosterone hormone goes up-your confidence goes up-if you stand like that for two-minutes a day, it will make a difference.
