What if the secret to elevating your disc golf game isn't about physical technique at all, but rather mastering what happens between your ears? Joel Turner, renowned mental performance expert and founder of Shot IQ and Mind IQ, joins us to share revolutionary insights that will transform how you think about the mental side of disc golf.

Turner blows our minds with his explanation of what he calls "the ultimate human skill"—the ability to get loud in your head with the right words at the right moments. Through clear, practical examples, he breaks down exactly how your internal dialogue controls your disc golf performance, from those frustrating putting yips to executing perfect drives under pressure.

We dive deep into the science of open and closed loop control systems, revealing why trying to fix your form during a throw almost always backfires. Joel shares the mental game equation that applies universally across all human performance: understanding where, when, and how to direct your conscious mind into specific tasks at specific moments. You'll learn why focusing on a chain link during putting works (and it's not just about aim), how to overcome anxiety on the course, and practical drills to practice getting louder than your thoughts.

What makes this episode truly special is how immediately applicable these concepts are. Whether you're struggling with inconsistency, tournament nerves, or those inexplicable moments where your body won't execute what your brain intends, Turner's frameworks provide clarity and solutions you can implement immediately. The conversation moves seamlessly between detailed disc golf applications and broader life skills, showing how these same mental techniques apply to everything from professional performance to managing everyday anxiety.
