Swing Thoughts are very helpful for LEARNING to swing and IMPROVING your swing... because they give your Conscious mind indicators of what you are trying to change.
They are like road signs for a road you have never driven before. ⚠️🚧🛣️
They make sure you are doing the right thing in unfamiliar territory.

There are NO swing thoughts in your Subconscious mind.
Imagine other learned movement skills... like writing your signature, throwing a ball or riding a bike.
You don't have writing thoughts, throwing thoughts or riding thoughts.
You just do it.
You decide what you want to do (Your Goal) and then you "Let It Happen".

You eliminate all the "Noise" of thoughts, emotions and pressure... that are only present in your conscious mind.
Is the way your mind and body id designed to execute complex movement skills.
When you use your Conscious Mind (Swing Thoughts) to try to "Make It Happen"... It is like telling your fingers what to do in the middle of writing your signature.
Less than ideal... if you want a smooth, powerful accurate movement.
One of the first keys that I work with for all golfers... is helping them learn to when to use Swing Thoughts and when to trust the Subconscious.
It is powerful knowledge.
It is also the first step to playing better golf on a consistent basis and a big part of the Zone Targeted Pre-Shot Routine.
Which coincidentally is launching this week.😊
