Episode notes
Stop Practicing Without Checking Results
- Do get clear feedback on what you're practicing instead of guessing.
- Cordy calls lack of feedback the biggest practice mistake and urges video, launch monitors, or a coach to verify changes.
A Simple Sensory Routine To Be Present
- Be present between shots using simple sensory anchors to reduce pressure.
- Cordy uses a 5-4-3-2-1 routine (five colors, four sounds, three textures, etc.) before shots during tournaments to return to the present.
Gain Speed With Simple Setup And Backswing Hacks
- Try simple setup and swing hacks to gain speed before huge gym changes.
- Cordy improved from 178 to 188 ball speed mainly via technique: wider stance, more backswing turn, and a faster backswing.
