Male Speaker: Wow! I mean the first thing I saw, I mean, there was then this party came off and then you asked them what was going on and all of them, for the most part were negative in terms of what they focused on. Is that calm?
Female Speaker: I know it's like being sweet, I thought there are only sweet sounds in that way but then that being lower the US and I realized even in the US, golf is all around the world. I think it's, at least to the golf coach are very easy that we always start talking. Normally, what we should start talking about things that didn't go up. So, I'd like to ask you more open in the question just to see what they would by themselves choose to focus on.
Male Speaker: Yeah, it seemed like that was consistent in all of the clips, because I remember earlier on where Dave, I think, said that he on a scale of 1-5 was four-and-a-half and your approach was what could you do to make it a five. And is that pretty standard in terms of your Coach 54 model that you focus on the positive and what you can do to improve.
Female Speaker: Yeah, absolutely and for many, many reasons. One thing is like we know whatever I have put attention on, there is maybe a little emotion attached to it. It gets stored strong in our brain since -- and our golfers, they want to stand over important putts or shots and have like past of memories somewhere in them. But the only way you can ever get that is if you have focused on what you've done well. So, that's what we figure out. We can't afford to miss out on this opportunity and if you never do it, you would never going to be able to be a confident player.
Female Speaker: As she says, as a coach you are balancing, helping them develop their confidence in different areas. So that would be the better, but you also want to help them develop their confidence and to only focus on the things that didn't go wrong around. That's just focusing on the confidence area.
Male Speaker: Yeah. Another thing that I noticed that this in a lot of ways is very similar to some stress management techniques, because you prepare before, you give them some strategies and coaching themselves during and then you have them evaluate what they did well at the end. I mean, it seems to flow very nicely with that kind of model.
Female Speaker: Yeah.
Male Speaker: Now, does this work with everybody from a lead down to novice?
Female Speaker: Oh absolutely.
Female Speaker: Yes. If you are from China or Sweden or US or old or new one or professional, everybody. As you said, we find that it's so important to do that. They really take in the good stuff too. It's easier to be like proud and taking for granted, especially good players do that, and they even need to take it in. Then get to the better too. It goes onto house, actually some action happens, because I say, I can get the larger too just talking about stuff and then nothing happens. So, it needs to land in something that we then can follow up on.
Female Speaker: We had a player recently who trying to qualify for an event, and she was disappointed, she didn't accomplish her goal. But afterwards, it was like okay, now tell me something on that experience I know was good, and then tell her what can be better. It was interesting because we received an email and she said, just going to the good, better in the whole process, she was able to sort through and get more objective productive view on what can she do now and prepare for the next event. I mean, it's not just about pumping them up and all that, it's just that they can objectively sort what the experience was.
Male Speaker: Yeah.
Female Speaker: Yeah.
Female Speaker: Actually, we have had many players who have never ever done this in their entire life. So, for months, we have just have them do ten goods to know betters, and it will take them long time saying, "I didn't do anything well," and we just have to help them along, maybe like, "Did you get their own time?" Did you make the -- help them along, they haven't even focused on it. So, they might stay on the 10:0 ratio for quite a while before they have some kind of a baseline.
Male Speaker: So, you are going to build on those positives and then help people really evaluate what they are dong more objectively. It sounds like you also want them to enjoy their successes and celebrate those along the way.
Female Speaker: Absolutely.
Male Speaker: You are focused on the process and then the end result is probably going to be better scores, which seems to be the end game anyhow for a lot of people.
Female Speaker: Waiting and show up them better swingings.
Female Speaker: Yeah.
Male Speaker: Okay.
