Rick Sessinghaus on "The Flow Code" and How to Go from Fear to Flow

On the Mark Golf Podcast

Dr. Rick Sessinghaus is a Southern California PGA Professional, the Director of FlowCode Golf Academy and the life-long golf swing and mental game coach to Collin Morikawa.

He has been a guest on the #OntheMark show before and he joins Mark Immelman to discuss "The Flow Code" as a mental approach to better Motivation, Focus, Confidence, Execution and Performance.

Rick illustrates the elements of the state of "Fear" and "Flow" and how a person/golfer moves between those states. He elaborates on each state by talking about various mindsets and emotions. He also shares ideas and tips for learning how to move the mental state from one of Fear to one where focus, intent, positivity and high performance are the order of the moment.

He further elaborates on:

What is the Mental Game?

A golfer's Mental, Emotional and Physical States and how they affect each other.

Routines and their value.

The Brainwave activity during Fear and Flow states.

The perception of Challenges and Skills.

Myths and "Rules" in the Brain.

Flow Triggers and Brain Activity, and

The Perception of Situations at Threats or Challenges.

Dr. Sessinghaus also shares PGA TOUR examples from Collin Morikawa and Jordan Spieth on how they perform, mentally, physically and emotionally at the highest level under high pressure.
