Dr. Bhrett McCabe Tackles The Yips!
Don’t Push “Bob” Away – Let Him In…
I expected that Episode 3 of Dr. Bhrett’s MENTAL GAME LIVE Youtube discussion on The Yips was going to be valuable – for myself and other golfers. But I had no idea what a home run this was going to be.
Surely you know that I personally have had the putting yips for something like 5 years now – and so love to get to learn things to help me ultimately find a personal cure for them. I am not going to share all of the details of what he talks about in the video – but here are a few things that make it clear to me the value of what he shared…
- Early on in the video, he noted that “there is nothing more embarrassing than having the yips.” When you do an alarm goes off in your brain that “alerts you to a potential threat, not a real one.” I might want to hide the fact that I am embarrassed that I have the putting yips – but I am. But he also said that this embarrassment is natural – I never accepted that before.
- He noted that when you have the yips, “your mind goes wild with mechanical thoughts” – they are “just like panic attacks.” I cannot tell you the number of times I thought I had discovered a “solution” on the practice green, but when I hit a putt on the golf course I still went into panic mode. Bhrett explains why that happened.
- More powerfully for me, Bhrett openly talks about having the chipping yips, and the plan of attack he used for actually becoming a great chipper. And he shares strategies for all of us to “cure” our yips, and stories of helping athletes in other sports who had the yips.
So – no more details from the video. If you have the yips or any interest in causes and effective cures for them – watch this MENTAL GAME LIVE YIPS VIDEO. The portion on the Yips starts about 16 minutes into it.
PLEASE share this post or just Bhrett’s video with any of your friends you think will get value from it.
As For Me? – because of my knee surgery recovery, I have at least a month before I can get back on the golf course. But “Bob” and I can spend a lot of time getting to know each other better!
