1:1 Coaching
In the world of golf, it's a constant battle of you against yourself.
Every stroke is not just a physical act of flawless technique but a battle of the mind. It's here, in the quiet corners of your thoughts, where championships are won and records are broken.
Whether you're a weekend warrior longing to show your friends no mercy, an amateur dreaming of turning pro, or a seasoned veteran striving to shoot lower scores consistently, the key to unlocking your best performance lies within the depths of your psyche.
Can you maintain your focus, find your flow, and execute each shot with unwavering precision?
Or will the frustrations of past mistakes cloud your mind, sabotaging your confidence when you need it most?
Golf may seem simple on the surface - align your shot, steady your stance, feel the club in your hands - but simplicity doesn't always equate to ease.
Distractions from the outside world, lingering frustrations, and the weight of expectations can quickly turn this elegant game into a minefield of self-doubt and frustration.
This is where having a Golf Mental Game Coach comes into play.
I'm here to help you uncover and dismantle those hidden barriers - the fears, beliefs, and behaviors - that keep you trapped in a cycle of self-sabotage.
Sure, you can analyze your swing and tweak your technique endlessly, but until you master the inner game - until you show up with a calm mind, brimming with confidence, completely focused, and in the zone for every single shot - your efforts will fall short.
It's time to break free from the outdated scripts of your subconscious, rewrite your story, and unleash your full potential on the course.
What is Golf Mindset Coaching?
Mental Game Coaching is a transformational experience that leverages hypnosis, subconscious reprogramming, and high-performance strategies to eliminate fears and doubt, unlearn detrimental mindset programs, and stop self-sabotaging behaviors at their core, allowing you to consistently operate in a state of peak performance and achieve rapid growth (on and off the course).
This is a Detrimental Mindset Program:
How unmanaged anger steals focus from your next shot, knocks you down, and robs you of your confidence.
"The whole secret to mastering the game of golf - and this applies to the beginner as well as the pro - is to cultivate a mental approach to the game that will enable you to shrug off the bad days, keep patient, and know in your heart that sooner or later you will be back on top."
~ Arnold Palmer
What I Can Do For You
I help golfers overcome the mental hazards of their minds so that they can shoot lower scores more consistently.
Amateurs and Weekend Warriors
Juniors and Adults
When getting started, your attention is on technique, technique, technique.
However, if you’re unable to manage the inevitable frustration and other emotions that arise as progress occurs slower than you'd like, you’ll improve at a snail’s pace (or not at all).
I can help you make progress fast by removing the emotional issues and self-talk that impair your learning and work ethic.
Plus, in this stage of skill acquisition and development, it can be difficult to tell whether a lack of technical skills or a detrimental mindset program drives problems. I can help you get to the core of what’s holding you back and put a fast, effective plan in place to overcome it.
Aspiring Professionals
Juniors and Adults
If your sights are set on the next level, you’ve developed a solid foundation of habits aimed at helping you continue to improve your fundamental techniques. You’re also aware that success at the next level requires more than spending hours on the range and practice green; it requires an intimate understanding and mastery of your mind.
And you’re ready to begin that journey.
Most clients I work with at this level don’t initially recognize that you cannot separate the person from the golfer.
The result: they’re prone to allowing emotions and bad habits away from the course to infiltrate their minds while on the course - especially after a mistake or poor shot.
My expertise lies in helping you understand the origin of the detrimental mindset programs and sabotaging behaviors that routinely plague you from shooting what you know you’re capable of scoring. Through this recognition, you’re able to let go of the emotions plaguing performance and unlearn the behaviors keeping you stuck so that you can effortlessly find flow and play to your potential.
Established Professionals
Thanks to your drive, commitment, and consistency, you’ve set yourself apart from the majority of the field. You are acutely aware of your strengths, and always finetuning and optimizing areas of your game to help you shoot lower scores consistently.
You’re also keenly aware of the emotional and mental game challenges that are negatively affecting your focus, decision-making, and discipline, yet, have no concrete plan in place to get out of your own way.
My expertise lies in cutting through the noise and excuses to help you identify precisely where and how you’re getting in your own way. I’ll shine light and provide clarity on the origin of your detrimental mindset programs, spot where and how you’re mismanaging emotions, and help you build a foundational routine for flow on demand.
The result: you play your A-Game and shoot lower scores consistently.

Testimonials

Paul’s mindset coaching helped me achieve a new mindset and game-plan for executing critical putts and scoring my best on the course!
With his thoughtful guidance, we identified the ‘busy/anxious’ thoughts that were running on auto-pilot and found a solution to foster confidence standing over those short, must-make putts.
Initially, I wasn’t sure what to expect with hypnosis, but I was pleasantly surprised by how beneficial and effective it was. The results have been great both on and off the course as I approach things from a fresh perspective and with an intentional plan for success!
To anyone looking to improve, compete, and find a path to your potential, I highly recommend working with Paul!

“Working with Paul as my Mindset Coach has been transformative for my mental game.
His guidance and support have significantly improved my overall mindset, leading to increased focus, resilience, and confidence.
Paul's personalized approach has been instrumental in helping me navigate challenges and achieve a more positive and productive mindset.
I highly recommend him for anyone seeking meaningful improvements in their mental well-being and performance.”
Carl Berryman
Coach and Host of Inspired by Impact Podcast
“What can you say when the words 'thank you' don't do any justice for how you've helped me?
I've spent over two decades immersed in personal development, investing in therapy, life coaches, mentors, and business coaches, and I can honestly say that our deep-dive session revealed as much if not more to me than any number of hours I have spent with others.
More importantly, you helped me define the one thing that is holding me back and attack it with courage, embrace it with love, and remove it from my path towards being my true authentic self in this world - aka un-f*ckwithable!
It's amazing how something from my childhood - something that I was aware of but not connected to - became so clear to me in my short time with you.
I want to thank you for helping me find my true self but more importantly, love and share my true self with my world.”
Dr. Kalila Bodden
Medical Doctor & Leadership Wellness Consultant
“I booked in to work with Paul as part of my continuing self-development plan. During our time together, we dove deep to uncover hidden blocks and subconscious connections that were affecting my ability to achieve certain goals - personally and professionally.
I’ve gained greater self-awareness around established habits and thought patterns and have been able to easily bring more intention around how I want to feel.
Paul is a master at his craft – if you’re looking for definitive answers, clarification on why you feel stuck, and gentle guidance for making easeful changes, I would highly recommend working with him.”
Santo Chiappetta
Owner and Founder: Strength and Conditioning by Santo
“Working with Paul has been a huge game changer not only in my business but in my day to day interactions with myself.
As an entrepreneur, you are your business. If you’re not in the best headspace you can be in for yourself personally, this can bleed into your business and impair your ability to take the actionable steps required to continuously make progress.
Taking the time to experience hypnosis and mindset and performance coaching with Paul has been an opportunity to better understand not only myself, but what makes me tick. Having someone like Paul who I knew I could trust made the process effective and enjoyable.
...Paul’s service is invaluable to anyone looking to improve their quality of life, work, and overall day-to-day human experience.
Thank you for a positive experience and helping me move some seriously heavy rocks, Paul!!”
Lauren Frick
Owner and Head Coach, Frickin’ Strong
“Working with Paul has been an absolute life changer, both personally and in business.
Prior to working with him, I was really struggling to implement the business tactics I’d been learning.
In three sessions, I found the courage to end an unhealthy, 8-year relationship, found a confident voice for social media content, and significantly decreased the anxiety and frustration I experienced around writing to the point where it’s become a daily practice instead of a weekly meltdown.
These might sound like small things, but I can assure you, they were like Everest to me.
“Day to day, I’m generally more peaceful, resilient, and confident. I could go on, but what’s most incredible to me is how quickly I was able to shift and grow.
I didn’t want to write that working with Paul has been life-changing because it sounds so cliche and unbelievable, but it’s the truth.
My only wish is to have started sooner. If you’re on the fence about working with Paul, do not wait. You won’t regret it. It's been a real privilege and an experience I won't forget.”
"A strong mind is one of the key components that separates the great from the good."

What You Can Expect
Preparation:
Preparing for Your First Coaching Session
The first step is to complete my detailed onboarding questionnaire. This questionnaire will challenge you to examine your current mental game like never before while also allowing you to see more clearly than ever before how intricately connected each aspect of your life is when it comes to influencing your ability to play your A-Game consistently.
Yes, this questionnaire is tedious; however, many of my clients find that going through this questionnaire increases awareness of their limiting beliefs and destructive emotions like never before, which leads to faster, more effective changes in their mental game.
Coaching Sessions:
Your Drive and Desire Dictate the Action
Our first Coaching Session together is 90 minutes - this gives us added time to review and discuss your completed questionnaire together. Each subsequent Coaching Session is 60 minutes.
Each session is unique and powerful, yet, they’re always collaborative, educational, and intentional - and sometimes even enjoyable ;).
While hypnosis is one of my primary rapid change modalities - more on that below - I draw upon 15 years of coaching experience and include a blend of high-performance strategies to drive rapid, lasting change.
My priority is to help you identify and understand the root cause of the fear, belief, or behavior holding you back so that we can then work to unlearn or upgrade them to best serve you.
This is where I shine. My superpower is quickly identifying the detrimental mindset program in place, specifically when, why, and how it came to be so that we can quickly unlearn or upgrade it. We’ll quickly get to the core of your emotional hang-ups and destructive behaviors so that we can eradicate them for good.
At the end of each Coaching Session, you’ll feel empowered and proud of the positive action steps you took, and have a clear action plan to execute to continue improving.
Between Sessions:
Accountability Accelerates Results
You’ll accomplish a lot of progress during our Coaching Sessions; however, the bulk of your progress will be found in the consistent action you take applying what you learned in between our Coaching Sessions.
You’ll leave each Coaching Session with a clear plan of action so you feel confident you know exactly what to focus on to continue improving your game.
I’ll be readily available each step of the way for accountability, troubleshooting, and coaching so that you can continue to integrate all that you’ve learned.
Ongoing Improvement:
Significant, Sustainable Results
The magic behind the phenomenal results my clients have achieved can be distilled down to one basic concept: consistent action.
Each time we tackle a major emotional block or detrimental mindset program, you’ll experience a shift as you begin to notice this problem occurs less frequently, and, eventually, hardly - if ever - at all.
At this stage, we’ll continue to fine-tune and optimize your foundational habits to ensure that you maintain your results and that nothing - expected or unexpected - derails you.

The Power of Hypnosis
As a credentialed hypnotherapist, I've undergone extensive supervised practice and mentorship from two leading Mindset Coaches and Hypnotherapists worldwide: Elliot Roe and Grace Smith.
Many people have misconceptions about hypnosis, often fueled by Hollywood portrayals. It's crucial to clarify what hypnosis truly entails.
I define hypnosis as “a state of deep relaxation aimed at effecting positive change.”
Each step of the way you’re awake, alert, conscious, and in control.
Think of it as a guided meditation, where we collaborate to uncover, unlearn, or upgrade emotions, beliefs, or behaviors that hinder your progress.
Interestingly, the brain waves you produce during hypnosis mirror those in the flow state, emphasizing its natural, safe, and accessible nature. With over 3,000 years of history, backed by research, hypnosis is remarkably effective.
Its primary benefit lies in quieting the inner critic of your conscious mind and facilitating direct access to your subconscious.
Why is this access crucial?
Your subconscious harbors your memories, emotions, values, beliefs, habits, creativity, imagination, and intuition - the blueprint of your being. Through hypnosis, we can quickly and effectively work to identify and unlearn the detrimental mindset programs keeping you stuck so that you can unlock your full potential.
