257 Should I Change My Pre-Shot Routine To Get Better

257 Should I Change My Pre-Shot Routine To Get Better

In episode 257 of the Demystifying Mental Toughness Podcast, David discusses pre-shot routines in sport. With an emphasis on golf, and the importance of a personalised routine to enhance performance. Key elements include the decision making process, assessing one's state of mind, taking practice swings in a purposeful way, visualizing the shot, focusing on the target, focusing your attention ahead of execution and the use of trigger words.

Key Learning Points:

  • Write down key steps of your personal pre-shot routine to improve your understanding.
  • Routines need practice and rehearsal if you are going to take them into competitive environments successfully.
  • Using trigger words that direct your attention towards timing can be beneficial like "smooth swing", "commit" or "trust" to enhance focus.
  • As humans we can get comfortable quickly therefore adjusting your approach from time to time is important to guard against complacency and to improve focus
  • The approach discussed is applicable to various sports, not just golf.
