Spieth\u2019s story is quite remarkable and he is still <strong>motivated<\/strong> to &#8220;up the level of his game.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Spieth was a <strong>successful<\/strong> junior player and won the U.S. Junior Amateur Championships twice to become only the second player ever to win multiple Juniors. Spieth was an American Junior Golf Association (AJGA) first-team All-American three times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Spieth was invited to play in his first PGA Tour event, the HP Byron Nelson Championship, at the age of 16 and ended up tying for 16th.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Even_in_college_at_the_University_of_Texas_Spieth_was_accumulating_accolades%E2%80%A6\"><\/span>Even in college, at the University of Texas, Spieth was accumulating accolades&#8230;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Spieth helped the Texas Longhorns win the 2012 NCAA Team Championship and was named first-team All-American as a freshman. That year, Spieth went on to win his first professional tournament, the John Deere Classic and became the youngest PGA Tour winner in 82 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To cap his first season on the Tour, Spieth was unanimously named 2013 Rookie of the Year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a 20-year old, Jordan followed his first year on the PGA Tour with continued <strong>consistency<\/strong> and strong performances. He recorded eight top-tens, with two 2nd place finishes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Spieth was one of the youngest golfers ever to earn a spot on the United States Ryder Cup Team and won back-to-back titles at the 2014 The Emirates Australian Open and the 2014 Hero World Challenge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Spieth had a stellar 2015 season with five victories and 15 total top-ten finishes. Spieth won two majors, the 2015 Masters Tournament and the 2015The U.S. Open Championship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Spieth finished 2015 as the FedEx Cup Champion and No. 1 in the Official World Golf Rankings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yet, Spieth is still working to <strong>improve<\/strong> his play with his scoring clubs, from his wedge to his 7, 8, and 9-iron.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Spieth has worked on his technique for a couple of years but hasn\u2019t fully mastered these swing changes come tournament play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Spieth recognizes the need for a \u201cnew normal\u201d when it comes to <strong>improved<\/strong> technique habits and has great insight into the <strong>process<\/strong> of the <strong>habit process.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"It_all_comes_down_to_mind_training\"><\/span>It all comes down to mind training.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s right, training your mind to switch over to autopilot during tournaments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First, Spieth recognizes that <strong>repetition<\/strong> and <strong>patience<\/strong> are key factors in modifying technique. Too often, golfers give up on modifications because they do not see immediate results. <strong>Consistent repetition<\/strong> trains your mind to develop that new normal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>SPIETH:<\/strong> <em>\u201cI\u2019m actually working on the same thing, same kind of couple moves right now that I worked on throughout the 2015 season. For two years straight, trying to go against the way I originally learned how to swing the golf club and to load more into my back leg and get more of a full shoulder turn, and commit to that.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s easier said than done but you need to <strong>trust<\/strong> your ability to <strong>implement<\/strong> these changes under the pressure of competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you make changes in your swing, you have to extinguish the old habit (or motor memory) and replace with a new habit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>SPIETH:<\/strong> <em>\u201cI felt like I did a good job trusting it throughout those weeks [during the 2016 Australian Open and the 2016 Hero World Challenge]. And therefore, my ball-striking was much better. The weeks where I really, really have done a good job committing to it are my best ball-striking weeks on Tour. Trying to just get more and more <strong>consistent<\/strong> with it and almost create that as a new normal.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Training your body to adopt a new habit is a matter of <strong>consistent repetition, patience<\/strong> and <strong>trust.<\/strong> If you follow that recipe, you will see improvements to your swing and tournament play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tips_for_Patience_With_Swing_Changes\"><\/span>Tips for Patience With Swing Changes<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Experts in <strong>motor learning<\/strong> would agree that you need 30-60 repetitions per day for 30-60 days to form a new habit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you add the skill of <strong>visualization<\/strong> to your physical practice, you can speed up the process. <strong>Visualization<\/strong> gives you the benefit of added repetition without the wear and tear of beating balls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Visualization<\/strong> coupled with physical practice will speed up the transfer of technique modifications to tournament play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You also want to use feedback when your practice so you know you are working on the right movement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.peaksports.com\/golfers-mental-edge-cd-program\/\">Uncover some of my mental game strategies for golf here!<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Golfers_Mental_Edge\"><\/span>Golfer&#8217;s Mental Edge<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"225\" height=\"250\" src=\"https:\/\/www.peaksports.com\/sports-psychology-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/golfers-mental-edge20.jpg\" alt=\"Golf Psychology CD\" class=\"wp-image-4169\" style=\"width:228px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>What\u2019s the <em>big sign<\/em> that <strong>your mental game is the weak link<\/strong> in your golf game?
