Today's guest is Dr. Debbie Crews — a neuroscientist and sports performance expert who has spent decades studying how the brain impacts elite athletic performance.

Her work bridges science and competition, helping athletes understand what actually happens in the brain under pressure — and how to train for it. From research in golf and other precision sports to applied work with high-level performers, she brings a rare blend of data and real-world insight.

In this episode, we cover:

How to beat the yips
The role of the conscious vs. subconscious mind
How to deal with your "mini mes" to manage emotions
The power of mental game training to stay calm and play better
How to overcome difficult moments in golf and not let them become traumatic

And a lot more.
