The ability to rely on yourself to take in the situation that you've got at hand and then turn that into and produce an outcome- produce a golf shot in this case, in my case is something that you can train on the cushion.
Ever wondered how top athletes stay calm under pressure? In this episode of The FitMind Podcast, host Liam McClintock sits down with Dr. Ash Sangoram, a neuroscientist, neonatologist, and founder of GoaLoGolf. Ash brings a unique blend of neuroscience and meditation to the table, offering insights into how these disciplines can elevate athletic performance, especially in golf.
With a background that includes working with National Academy of Science neuroscientists and coaching at Stanford, Ash knows a thing or two about elite performance. Ash shares his journey of dropping his golf handicap by 15 points while recovering from a spinal cord injury, all thanks to his deep understanding of brain function. He explains how sensory structures and brain circuits are crucial for motor planning and target acquisition, and how meditation helps athletes maintain focus in high-stress situations.
It's not just about hitting the ball; it's about training the mind to stay present and aware. But it’s not all about sports. Ash also delves into the broader applications of these principles, including injury prevention and self-awareness. Whether you're an athlete or just someone looking to optimize your mental game, this episode is packed with practical tips and strategies. Curious about how neuroscience can give you an edge?
Tune in to hear Ash's fascinating take on the intersection of brain science and elite performance. It's a conversation that could change the way you think about training—both mentally and physically.
