Flow Is a Trainable Skill | with Dr. Rick Sessinghaus

Dr. Rick Sessinghaus has spent decades coaching golfers at the highest level of the game, including working with Collin Morikawa since childhood. Instead of approaching this conversation like a traditional interview, we decided to use ourselves — and our own golf games — as the case study.We talk with Rick about focus, confidence, expectations, frustration, slow play, performance under pressure, and what actually separates golfers who can recover mentally from those who spiral. Along the way, Rick helps us unpack some of our own patterns and contradictions on the course — from Oliver’s emphasis on shot results to Preston’s relationship with expectations and rhythm.Topics include:Why “flow follows focus”Whether flow is actually trainableConfidence vs commitmentHow to refocus after distractionsSlow play and emotional regulationExpectations, frustration, and the “should” trapCuriosity over criticismWhat the soul of golf means to RickDr. Rick Sessinghaus is a performance coach, sports psychologist, and co-founder of FlowCode Golf Academy. He has coached players at every level of the game and is best known for his longtime work with two-time major champion Collin Morikawa.Contact us: weekdaygolfpodcast@gmail.com Instagram: @weekdaygolfpodcastYouTube: @weekdaygolfpodcastTwitter/X: @weekdaygolfpodDesign by: Austin WooldridgeMusic provided by: ⁠https://www.classicals.de/mozart-figaro
