108. Mental Toughness Tips When Girls Win with Coach MJ McCloskey

T-Time with Tori Totlis

Today, I’m sitting down with MaryJo McCloskey—known in the golf world as Coach MJ—who runs through six topics that will help you elevate your golf performance, all based on her book “When Girls Win”.

Coach MJ’s writing journey began in the throes of the COVID-19 pandemic and was fueled by a compelling desire to empower others with the wisdom gleaned from over two decades of coaching.

We talk about the underrated superpower known as “self-awareness”, why it always pays to embrace pressure out on the course, must-knows regarding one’s short game, and the importance of team spirit within this individual sport. Get inspired by stories of golfers breaking records with only indoor practice and the pivotal role of social media in shaping athletes' self-perception.

Finally, we discuss the role of the subconscious mind in sports performance and the art of honing one's mental game, including a short lesson that illustrates the power of positive mantras.
