Why You Don’t Need More Swing Thoughts - Louis Ross from Connect Sports Psychology
Monday, 7 September, 2026

Follow the podcast: @linkedbygolfpodcastFollow Louis: @connectsportpsychThis week I’m joined by sports psychologist Louis Ross to explore the mental side of golf — and how we can make sports psychology genuinely practical out on the course.Louis talks about taking sports psychology “from class to grass”, moving beyond theory and actually practising the mental skills we need when the pressure arrives.We discuss managing expectations, why trying to eliminate negative thoughts can actually make things harder, dealing with nerves and pressure, and Louis’ “register, release, refocus” approach to getting your attention back onto the shot in front of you.We also get into pre-shot routines, commitment, the mental traps of “I have to” and “I can’t”, why match play can create a completely different mindset, and why sports psychology isn’t something reserved for elite players.Plenty of practical ideas in this one that any golfer can take onto the course.🎧 Listen now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and YouTube.Instagram:Louis — @connectsportpsychLinked By Golf — @linkedbygolfpodcast
