00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:02,200
Hey, golf science lab Community.
It's Cordy here. 

2
00:00:02,700 --> 00:00:04,700
No, we're not launching our next
season yet. 

3
00:00:04,800 --> 00:00:06,300
Don't worry. 
It's just around the corner, but

4
00:00:06,300 --> 00:00:09,300
we're back with a very, very 
exciting announcement. 

5
00:00:09,500 --> 00:00:11,400
We've just launched our first 
podcast. 

6
00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:14,000
Powered by the golf science lab,
it's called game like training 

7
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:17,300
radio and it's hosted by coach 
Matthew Cooke and myself. 

8
00:00:17,300 --> 00:00:19,700
We're having conversations 
focused on practice and learning

9
00:00:19,700 --> 00:00:22,600
with some incredible guests. 
Like this show with Trevor 

10
00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:26,600
Reagan of train ugly, make sure 
subscribe in iTunes, game like 

11
00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:29,800
training radio and check back on
a weekly basis as will have new 

12
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:32,400
episodes. 
Episodes from this first season.

13
00:00:32,900 --> 00:00:36,500
All right, let's get into it. 
Hello. 

14
00:00:36,500 --> 00:00:39,200
And welcome to game like 
training radio powered by the 

15
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:42,200
golf science lab where we'll 
help you set up practice and 

16
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:44,200
learning environments. 
Actually help you play your best

17
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:46,800
game on the course and not on 
the Range. 

18
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:49,100
Hey, I'm one of your host Corey 
Walker. 

19
00:00:49,300 --> 00:00:51,300
And I'm your co-host, Matthew 
Coke. 

20
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:56,000
And we're here today with Trevor
Reagan from train ugly.com, 

21
00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:58,100
super excited to share this 
interview with you. 

22
00:00:58,100 --> 00:01:01,900
All we talked with Trevor about 
His experiences with other 

23
00:01:01,900 --> 00:01:06,500
cultures and other sports and 
his work with Carol dweck on the

24
00:01:06,500 --> 00:01:10,400
growth mindset. 
And we also discuss some motor 

25
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:13,400
learning principles and Trevor 
does an incredible job of 

26
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:18,200
explaining all of this, through 
his analogy of the Jungle tiger 

27
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:20,200
yet. 
Know, I really like his 

28
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:23,800
perspective, Matt, because he 
brings this setting of other 

29
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:26,300
sports other coaches and 
academics in. 

30
00:01:26,500 --> 00:01:29,000
And sets up a framework that we 
can understand toward the end of

31
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:31,400
this conversation Utah. 
It's about really these four 

32
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:35,100
steps to teach new skills and 
applying this to golf during 

33
00:01:35,100 --> 00:01:40,300
training is really going to set 
up some amazing amazing results 

34
00:01:40,700 --> 00:01:43,000
before we get into it. 
We put together for videos to 

35
00:01:43,008 --> 00:01:45,100
help you create better game, 
like training practice 

36
00:01:45,100 --> 00:01:48,400
environments in your practice 
from full swing short game to 

37
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:50,300
putting. 
You have to make sure that 

38
00:01:50,300 --> 00:01:53,600
you're spending your time wisely
and making practice effective 

39
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:57,800
head over to golf science, 
lab.com / better training and 

40
00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:00,500
check it out. 
So let's get into it with 

41
00:02:00,500 --> 00:02:05,300
Trevor. 
All right, so we are super 

42
00:02:05,300 --> 00:02:09,300
excited to be here with mr. 
Trevor, Reagan of train ugly, 

43
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:12,800
and we're just going to dive 
into this learning conversation,

44
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:16,200
and maybe a good place to start.
Trevor is with the foundational 

45
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:18,900
element, which is like this 
growth mindset, right? 

46
00:02:18,900 --> 00:02:21,000
Like, if you want to learn, if 
you want to train ugly, you have

47
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,700
to have the right mindset going 
into a. 

48
00:02:23,700 --> 00:02:26,300
So, like, where do you start 
with that conversation? 

49
00:02:26,300 --> 00:02:27,800
Or where does that topic start 
for you? 

50
00:02:27,900 --> 00:02:31,000
Well, first of all what you said
is like, right on the money, 

51
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:36,400
When I got into this, it started
with like, very like motor 

52
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:39,700
learning focused and I think the
motor learning science is 

53
00:02:39,700 --> 00:02:42,000
fascinating. 
I think there are a ton of 

54
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:45,200
applications than a ton of ways 
to use it to improve practice, 

55
00:02:46,300 --> 00:02:50,100
what I found, especially when 
we're working with athletes and 

56
00:02:50,100 --> 00:02:54,800
volleyball and basketball, is 
that to really get the most out 

57
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:59,600
of a science based practice. 
And so if we base the practice, 

58
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:04,800
According to the motor learning 
science, it does get ugly is 

59
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:06,700
harder. 
There's like, more contextual 

60
00:03:06,700 --> 00:03:08,400
interference. 
There was a little more 

61
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:12,100
Randomness, there's a little 
more chaos and what happens when

62
00:03:12,100 --> 00:03:14,300
you're in that zone? 
Is you make more mistakes? 

63
00:03:14,300 --> 00:03:19,900
And so it does get uglier. 
And from what I found, coupling 

64
00:03:19,900 --> 00:03:24,600
that science with the growth 
mindset research, that is where 

65
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:28,900
we see the best results because 
essentially the growth mindset 

66
00:03:28,900 --> 00:03:32,300
stuff is talking about. 
Like mental approach to Learning

67
00:03:32,300 --> 00:03:35,400
and Development and it helps you
see the value of mistakes and it

68
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:37,100
helps, you see the value of 
struggle? 

69
00:03:37,300 --> 00:03:41,000
And it shows you how that those 
things actually help you grow 

70
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:43,700
more than if those things were 
not there. 

71
00:03:43,700 --> 00:03:47,600
And so what we've seen is people
who understand growth mindset 

72
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:50,900
and understand this mental 
approach to learning actually 

73
00:03:50,900 --> 00:03:53,700
get more out of a practice 
that's designed according to the

74
00:03:53,700 --> 00:03:57,200
principles of motor learning. 
So train, ugly is the marriage 

75
00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:00,100
of those two. 
I guess, areas of research, 

76
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:01,800
Each. 
So growth mindset is the mental 

77
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:05,300
side of learning and then motor 
learning is like, what learning 

78
00:04:05,300 --> 00:04:08,800
looks like and how we can design
our practice according to the 

79
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:11,600
science. 
And so, if we were to jump into 

80
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:15,400
growth mindset, there are two 
things that really, really, I 

81
00:04:15,408 --> 00:04:19,100
think matter the most there and 
the first is like, the core of 

82
00:04:19,100 --> 00:04:22,500
it all is simply a belief in 
your ability to learn. 

83
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:28,000
This could be learning a new 
project, new skill and new 

84
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,000
swing, but it's simply the 
belief. 

85
00:04:30,300 --> 00:04:33,600
Your ability to eventually learn
and figure something out. 

86
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:36,400
And then to build one step on 
top of that. 

87
00:04:36,500 --> 00:04:39,500
And I think this is equally as 
important is sort of like what 

88
00:04:39,500 --> 00:04:43,700
you value. 
So, the do extra research is 

89
00:04:43,700 --> 00:04:47,000
that people with growth mindset,
they value learning, and getting

90
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:50,200
better, more than they value, 
how they look, I guess the 

91
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:53,800
opposite of a growth mindset is 
a fixed mind that and these 

92
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:57,300
people do not believe in their 
ability to learn and get better 

93
00:04:57,500 --> 00:05:01,000
and their number one concern. 
Tell them, Look to other. 

94
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:04,100
And so, going back to a growth 
mindset. 

95
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:07,900
It's those two concepts that 
really make up a true growth 

96
00:05:07,900 --> 00:05:11,200
mindset. 
It is, I believe I can learn and

97
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:14,500
learning and getting better is 
more important than how I look. 

98
00:05:14,700 --> 00:05:17,700
And with that attitude, 
obviously, there's more, there's

99
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:21,000
like that takes work. 
That's like a daily battle that 

100
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:24,800
you fight to get to that zone 
where you have those two like 

101
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:28,900
beliefs and values. 
But when you're there, you get 

102
00:05:28,900 --> 00:05:32,300
more from your practice because 
See the value of like a 

103
00:05:32,300 --> 00:05:36,000
difficult game like practice. 
That's a great way to put it 

104
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,500
Trav. 
I've seen and and read and 

105
00:05:38,500 --> 00:05:42,400
watched a bunch of your content 
where you talk about the the 

106
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:45,300
jungle tiger and the nun jungle 
tiger. 

107
00:05:45,300 --> 00:05:48,300
And I think that is just an 
incredible analogy at, you know,

108
00:05:48,300 --> 00:05:50,900
especially for what you just 
for, what you just talked about 

109
00:05:50,900 --> 00:05:53,700
with the growth mindset, I 
think, you know, obviously, I've

110
00:05:53,700 --> 00:05:55,800
listened to it. 
I've watched some of your 

111
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:58,400
presentations online, but I 
think it would be great if you 

112
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:02,400
could just go over. 
Over that that analogy for the 

113
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:05,600
listeners for this, it will be 
awesome for them to you just 

114
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:07,800
meet you. 
Maybe do like a virtual fist 

115
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:12,100
bump right there because the 
jungle tiger stuff, I think is 

116
00:06:12,100 --> 00:06:16,100
the best way to teach this. 
And for me, it's the best way to

117
00:06:16,100 --> 00:06:18,900
understand how this works. 
And it also plays into the 

118
00:06:18,900 --> 00:06:23,300
growth mindset stuff as well. 
So like the quick jungle Tiger 

119
00:06:23,300 --> 00:06:27,100
exercise of the Jungle, tiger 
story, is simply a comparison of

120
00:06:27,100 --> 00:06:30,000
two tigers. 
One tiger that lives in a zoo. 

121
00:06:30,300 --> 00:06:34,600
One tiger that lives in the wild
there in the jungle and if you 

122
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:38,700
look and compare their lives, 
it's like it's pretty much black

123
00:06:38,700 --> 00:06:40,400
and white. 
Like they're on opposite ends of

124
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:44,700
the spectrum Zoo. 
Tigers life is very easy. 

125
00:06:44,700 --> 00:06:48,900
It's very safe because it lives 
in a cage and everything is done

126
00:06:48,900 --> 00:06:50,300
for it. 
It always has food. 

127
00:06:50,300 --> 00:06:53,100
Always has water. 
Always has protection and it 

128
00:06:53,100 --> 00:06:58,000
sits in a cage all day. 
Life is easy, life is safe and 

129
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:01,300
then if you compare that to the 
life, Of a jungle tiger. 

130
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:06,000
We're on the complete opposite. 
End of the spectrum where the 

131
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:09,700
jungle tiger is not necessarily 
like safe all the time in his 

132
00:07:09,700 --> 00:07:11,000
life. 
Isn't that easy? 

133
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:14,000
Because he has to do everything 
for himself, he has to learn to 

134
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:17,500
hunt to protect himself, to 
build shelter, like to do all 

135
00:07:17,500 --> 00:07:21,400
the things a jungle tiger, would
have to do his life. 

136
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:26,300
Involves a considerable amount 
more struggle and mistakes and 

137
00:07:26,300 --> 00:07:29,800
errors and failures, like going 
to be hungry nights and hungry 

138
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:32,500
days. 
If he doesn't find food and then

139
00:07:32,500 --> 00:07:37,200
sort of the punch line of this 
is what would happen if you put 

140
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:41,000
a zoo tiger into the wild. 
Wow. 

141
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:44,400
Hey won't do won't do very well 
what did find it difficult to 

142
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:46,800
survive yet? 
It probably won't be alive for 

143
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:49,600
long Zoo. 
Tigers going to be out in the 

144
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:52,000
wild and really not know how to 
survive. 

145
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:55,600
The reason, it doesn't know how 
to survive is because it spent 

146
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:59,800
its entire life in its cage or 
everything was easy and safe. 

147
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:01,800
But it Didn't really have to 
develop skills. 

148
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:04,900
So if we put a zoo tiger in the 
wild, it's just not going to 

149
00:08:04,900 --> 00:08:06,600
handle it. 
It's not going to survive. 

150
00:08:07,300 --> 00:08:11,100
Now, if we look at the jungle 
tiger, the Junger jungle tiger, 

151
00:08:11,100 --> 00:08:14,500
figures out, how to survive in 
the wild, it figures It Out by 

152
00:08:14,500 --> 00:08:17,500
living there. 
The jungle tiger, learns to 

153
00:08:17,500 --> 00:08:22,400
survive in the wild by living in
the wild and now a couple key 

154
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:26,300
points I want to point out. 
They're both tigers and they 

155
00:08:26,300 --> 00:08:29,500
both have the same tools. 
They both have stripes. 

156
00:08:29,900 --> 00:08:32,600
They can both jump really high, 
they both have sharp teeth. 

157
00:08:33,299 --> 00:08:37,000
The only difference was sort of 
the way that they grew up and 

158
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:41,500
develop and that difference 
allowed the jungle tiger to do 

159
00:08:41,500 --> 00:08:45,800
something that the the zoo tiger
could never do and this jungle 

160
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:49,100
tiger approach. 
The part approach, the not safe,

161
00:08:49,100 --> 00:08:51,000
coach, the approach that was 
filled with struggle and 

162
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:53,900
mistakes allowed that tiger to 
develop. 

163
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:57,700
Skills that the zoo tiger never 
could the easy approach and the 

164
00:08:57,700 --> 00:09:00,600
safe coach did not. 
And so if we were to take this 

165
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:05,200
to the Sports World, literally 
any sport basketball soccer 

166
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:08,600
volleyball golf. 
What we need to understand is 

167
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:11,900
the game when we compete, when 
the lights are on, when the 

168
00:09:11,900 --> 00:09:17,000
scores on when were playing, 
that is the Wild games. 

169
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:20,400
Are random games are chaotic? 
No, two games. 

170
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:23,700
You ever play, no two matches 
you ever play or ever. 

171
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:29,600
Be the same games are the wild. 
Now the problem that I see the 

172
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:34,200
one of the biggest problems I 
see, is we trying players and we

173
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:38,900
design our practices like Zoo 
our practices look good. 

174
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:43,200
They are easy, but people are 
not getting better. 

175
00:09:43,300 --> 00:09:45,800
And so what happens is we train 
a bunch of zoo tigers and then 

176
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:49,000
we throw them into the wild when
it's game time and then they 

177
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:51,700
struggle and we don't see that 
transfer. 

178
00:09:51,900 --> 00:09:55,100
And so like to take this one 
step farther, It's it's kind of 

179
00:09:55,100 --> 00:10:00,400
looking at the zoo and looking 
at the cage in the zoo, like, is

180
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:04,100
a metaphor for our comfort zone 
and we all have comfort zones 

181
00:10:04,100 --> 00:10:06,100
you do. 
I do the players you work with 

182
00:10:06,100 --> 00:10:08,700
do as well. 
And the truth is, when you're 

183
00:10:08,700 --> 00:10:12,300
operating in your comfort zone, 
whatever it may be, you look 

184
00:10:12,300 --> 00:10:16,100
good, it's easy. 
It is safe, but you're not 

185
00:10:16,100 --> 00:10:19,200
necessarily getting better. 
Our comfort zone is just like a 

186
00:10:19,208 --> 00:10:21,900
cage in the zoo. 
And so my job and the reason 

187
00:10:21,900 --> 00:10:25,300
that chain ugly exist and the 
reason that I talked so much 

188
00:10:25,300 --> 00:10:28,800
about this is to help people 
understand that the best 

189
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:32,200
learning happens when you find a
way to stretch outside of your 

190
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:35,200
comfort zone. 
When you find ways to escape the

191
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:39,500
zoo and get into the wild. 
And so I think the big hurdle 

192
00:10:39,500 --> 00:10:43,400
that we faced with all of this 
is I've probably given the 

193
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:46,700
jungle tiger talk to over 10,000
people at this point. 

194
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:50,300
Ranging from like four year olds
all the way up to professional 

195
00:10:50,300 --> 00:10:52,400
athletes. 
And out of the ten thousand 

196
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:56,200
people every single Single one 
of them agree that the jungle 

197
00:10:56,200 --> 00:11:00,600
tiger approach leads to more 
learning and prepares that tiger

198
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:04,100
to survive in the wild, the 
hurdle we face is most of us 

199
00:11:04,100 --> 00:11:06,700
when it comes to development, 
and when it comes to learning, 

200
00:11:06,900 --> 00:11:10,600
we approach those things like a 
zoo tiger, where we would rather

201
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:12,600
play it safe. 
We would rather look good. 

202
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:14,400
We would rather be in our 
comfort zone. 

203
00:11:14,500 --> 00:11:17,500
Then tries something new, then 
take a wrist and stretch out and

204
00:11:17,500 --> 00:11:20,100
get into the wild. 
What I've found is the big 

205
00:11:20,100 --> 00:11:22,700
reason behind that. 
We hate to look bad. 

206
00:11:23,100 --> 00:11:28,100
We hate Ugly, we hate feeling 
like maybe we're out of our 

207
00:11:28,100 --> 00:11:30,700
comfort zone. 
And so what we do is help, 

208
00:11:30,700 --> 00:11:34,400
people understand the value of 
getting into the wild and then 

209
00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:36,600
that is where growth mindset 
comes in. 

210
00:11:36,700 --> 00:11:41,900
So I think sum it up. 
It's jungle tiger zoo tiger 

211
00:11:41,900 --> 00:11:44,800
talks about how learning, how 
learning works. 

212
00:11:45,700 --> 00:11:49,500
And then the growth mindset is 
sort of the helmet that you wear

213
00:11:49,500 --> 00:11:53,000
to survive in the wild. 
So we're saying you learn best 

214
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:54,500
when you're stretched. 
You learn best. 

215
00:11:54,500 --> 00:11:57,500
When it's ugly, you learn best 
in the wild in the growth 

216
00:11:57,500 --> 00:12:01,200
mindset, is your armor that you 
wear in the wild that helps you 

217
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:04,800
deal with that struggle and 
tension of what real learning 

218
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:06,700
involves. 
Because real learning. 

219
00:12:06,700 --> 00:12:09,400
As you guys know, you've been 
looking into this as well. 

220
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:13,100
Real learning involves some 
tension and struggle. 

221
00:12:13,300 --> 00:12:16,100
You have to be bad at something 
before, you're good. 

222
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:20,200
And so what we're trying to do, 
like literally the, the reason 

223
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:23,500
that we named the website, what 
we named it is trying to change 

224
00:12:23,500 --> 00:12:26,500
the perception. 
Option of what ugly is, people 

225
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:28,500
ate ugly, people, resist, ugly, 
butt. 

226
00:12:28,500 --> 00:12:32,200
Ugly is where the magic happens.
And so, we found that the jungle

227
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:35,300
tiger story is a great way to 
start that conversation. 

228
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:37,700
Yeah, for sure. 
And I love this conversation 

229
00:12:37,700 --> 00:12:40,000
about desirable difficulties and
challenge points. 

230
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:42,900
One of my my favorite 
conversations and like how you 

231
00:12:42,900 --> 00:12:47,700
have to fall down to get better 
and like, on top of that, with a

232
00:12:47,700 --> 00:12:50,800
growth mindset, like, I guess in
a practical sense, like how do 

233
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:52,200
you approach failure? 
Right. 

234
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:55,600
Like when you fail in front of 
Well, and you feel horrible and 

235
00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:58,200
it's ugly not as someone 
approach that are like 

236
00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:00,700
practically like how do you get 
back up and go do it again. 

237
00:13:00,900 --> 00:13:03,100
Yeah. 
So like and that's the tough 

238
00:13:03,100 --> 00:13:05,800
part because it's easy to talk 
about these things and it's easy

239
00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:09,000
to say look getting better needs
to be more important than how 

240
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:14,300
you look at least things. 
What I found is just having lots

241
00:13:14,300 --> 00:13:17,800
and lots of conversation about 
the value of the the failure in 

242
00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:21,600
the struggle, a great book that 
I'd highly recommend is called 

243
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:25,400
the obstacle is the way by Ryan 
holiday Absolutely incredible. 

244
00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:31,100
I'm about halfway through it and
it just talks about how the most

245
00:13:31,100 --> 00:13:34,700
successful people regardless of 
the industry. 

246
00:13:34,700 --> 00:13:36,500
They're in summer in sports and 
summer. 

247
00:13:36,500 --> 00:13:40,700
In just any think the most 
successful people have been 

248
00:13:40,700 --> 00:13:44,400
through a lot of obstacles and 
struggle in their life and what 

249
00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:47,400
they realize and what you 
realize if you look into their 

250
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:52,900
stories is people learn more 
from obstacles and struggle than

251
00:13:52,900 --> 00:13:55,000
if those things. 
These were not there. 

252
00:13:55,300 --> 00:13:58,500
So what we need to do is start 
to change our perception about 

253
00:13:58,500 --> 00:14:01,200
what a mistake in what like a 
stumble is. 

254
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:04,800
It's like a valuable. 
It's a valuable opportunity to 

255
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:05,900
grow. 
That's it. 

256
00:14:05,900 --> 00:14:09,600
It's not. 
We shouldn't feel judged. 

257
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:12,400
We shouldn't feel embarrassed. 
It should be kind of celebrated 

258
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:15,400
where it's like, a special 
learning opportunity that you 

259
00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:19,400
get. 
Again, that takes a lot of work 

260
00:14:19,900 --> 00:14:22,600
and that takes a lot of 
conversation, but if we can get 

261
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:26,000
there like that, Within this 
becomes powerful. 

262
00:14:26,300 --> 00:14:29,300
Yeah, but couldn't have worded 
it, any better trap the whole 

263
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:32,100
failing and getting back up and 
trying to do it again and 

264
00:14:32,100 --> 00:14:36,100
changing the perception of how 
failings viewed is increasingly 

265
00:14:36,100 --> 00:14:38,200
important. 
I know you've spent a lot of 

266
00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:42,700
time with the likes of John over
at the Olympic Association and 

267
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:47,400
and is good, buddy, Peter Vin 
and I know spent some time with 

268
00:14:47,500 --> 00:14:50,800
many professors and more 
learning and cognitive 

269
00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:54,100
psychology and all of that. 
And I know you've also spent 

270
00:14:54,100 --> 00:14:56,600
some time with some really, 
really good coaches. 

271
00:14:56,700 --> 00:15:02,500
So I'd love to know like what 
the sort of conclusion is from 

272
00:15:02,500 --> 00:15:05,000
from all of these people. 
All of these amazing people that

273
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:08,000
you've managed to spend time 
with and just hang out with, how

274
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:13,700
do they view this? 
This failing and an ugliness of 

275
00:15:13,700 --> 00:15:18,200
training and get and training, 
more game like to get better. 

276
00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:20,900
How do, how do they view it? 
Whether they're teaching? 

277
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:23,400
Yeah, and I think that's a great
question. 

278
00:15:23,900 --> 00:15:25,900
But I think there are a couple 
of important things. 

279
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:34,700
First of all, they realize this 
that practice Is there to help 

280
00:15:34,700 --> 00:15:39,200
us learn it better that it 
doesn't really matter. 

281
00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:43,700
What we look like in practice? 
What matters is what happens 

282
00:15:43,700 --> 00:15:45,600
when the lights are on and it 
matters. 

283
00:15:46,300 --> 00:15:52,300
And so, the big, I think one of 
the core principles of motor 

284
00:15:52,300 --> 00:15:56,400
learning is transfer. 
It's finding ways to essentially

285
00:15:57,200 --> 00:16:01,500
transfer the improvements. 
We see in practice to the game. 

286
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:05,400
Another way to look at it is if 
I get better in practice, does 

287
00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:10,600
it show up on Friday night? 
And the way I see it is we 

288
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:13,900
should be finding ways to 
maximize that transfer because 

289
00:16:13,900 --> 00:16:16,600
what matters is like our 
performance in the game. 

290
00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:20,400
And so what they found is to 
maximize transfer. 

291
00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:24,200
So when we see improvements in 
practice, they show up in the 

292
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:30,100
game to maximize that, what we 
need to do is make our practice 

293
00:16:30,100 --> 00:16:32,400
resemble the game as much as 
possible. 

294
00:16:32,700 --> 00:16:35,500
This takes us back to Jungle 
tiger for one more second. 

295
00:16:35,700 --> 00:16:39,700
The jungle tiger learned to 
survive in the wild by living in

296
00:16:39,700 --> 00:16:44,100
the wild period. 
It lived in the wild struggled, 

297
00:16:44,100 --> 00:16:47,400
it figured it out and it 
developed an incredible skill 

298
00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:49,400
set. 
Practice is the same. 

299
00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:52,400
We said at the start, our games 
are the wild. 

300
00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:56,400
How do we get our practice to 
resemble the Wild? 

301
00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:59,500
And from what I've seen, the 
coaches that have really bought 

302
00:16:59,500 --> 00:17:02,900
into this and who are really 
running with this Stand that 

303
00:17:03,100 --> 00:17:06,500
they are thinking about and 
having conversations all the 

304
00:17:06,500 --> 00:17:09,900
time about how can we introduce 
more variables into our 

305
00:17:09,900 --> 00:17:12,300
practice? 
That will make it more like the 

306
00:17:12,300 --> 00:17:16,500
game period. 
And so if you think about like 

307
00:17:16,700 --> 00:17:19,300
the emotion, that's there and a 
game, the pressure that's there 

308
00:17:19,300 --> 00:17:23,099
in the game, the randomness and 
chaos and the game, how do you 

309
00:17:23,099 --> 00:17:25,000
introduce those things in 
practice? 

310
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:29,100
And those are the conversations 
they're having now hard part of 

311
00:17:29,100 --> 00:17:32,200
that is coaches and players. 
Layers. 

312
00:17:32,700 --> 00:17:36,100
We all do, we all like it when 
things look good. 

313
00:17:36,100 --> 00:17:39,800
And so what happens is if we 
start to introduce all these 

314
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:44,200
game variables into practice is 
doesn't necessarily look the 

315
00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:45,800
best. 
Like there is a lot more 

316
00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:48,700
mistakes, a lot more kind of 
chaos happening. 

317
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:53,400
Doesn't look the best and if 
like a parent walk through the 

318
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:56,200
gym, they would be going. 
Wow, what is going on here? 

319
00:17:57,500 --> 00:18:00,100
But again, that goes back to 
like, what's important are? 

320
00:18:00,100 --> 00:18:03,900
We practicing to look good. 
Are we practicing to get better 

321
00:18:04,300 --> 00:18:08,900
because those are two very 
different things and it's really

322
00:18:08,900 --> 00:18:11,600
hard for both of those things to
happen at the same time. 

323
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:15,900
And so the best coaches I've 
seen, they understand that the 

324
00:18:15,900 --> 00:18:18,900
reason we practice is to get 
better and if the reason we 

325
00:18:18,900 --> 00:18:21,500
practice is to get better and 
needs to be ugly. 

326
00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:23,900
If we're just trying to look 
good by all means, we can do 

327
00:18:23,900 --> 00:18:27,500
block practice, we can do these 
traditional drills and things 

328
00:18:27,500 --> 00:18:29,400
that people do. 
That look good. 

329
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:32,100
That organized. 
But the truth is Are not 

330
00:18:32,100 --> 00:18:34,600
stretching people, they're not 
challenging people and therefore

331
00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:38,400
people aren't getting better. 
Hey, if you're enjoying this, 

332
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:40,900
you might want to check out the 
motor learning master classes, 

333
00:18:40,900 --> 00:18:44,200
we put together here, call 
science lab, it's 15 sessions, 

334
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:48,000
deleting golf coaches, talking 
about learning, Matt Cook 

335
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:50,600
co-host here of game. 
Like training radio was actually

336
00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:53,400
one of the presenters and talk 
to all about deliberate 

337
00:18:53,500 --> 00:18:55,800
practice. 
The one thing we can't get 

338
00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:58,800
around is that if we're going to
reach a higher level of 

339
00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:01,200
performance. 
So if we're going to get better,

340
00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:05,800
any We have to practice. 
Check it out at motor learning 

341
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:08,800
lab.com. 
Let's get back into it. 

342
00:19:11,100 --> 00:19:13,900
Here's kind of a tough question,
right? 

343
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:17,000
So the beginner right in level 
of skill. 

344
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:19,400
So everyone is different. 
Everyone needs a different level

345
00:19:19,700 --> 00:19:21,800
of challenge. 
How does this apply to a 

346
00:19:21,808 --> 00:19:23,400
beginners? 
Because I think it's easy to 

347
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:25,600
apply this to someone. 
That's an expert. 

348
00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:26,800
Sure. 
But it might be a bit more 

349
00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:29,200
difficult to do. 
Someone just getting into golf 

350
00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:31,300
for instance, like how do we 
apply this? 

351
00:19:31,300 --> 00:19:33,800
Yep. 
Okay so I love that question. 

352
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:36,600
And this is like that's where 
you get the biggest. 

353
00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:38,200
Push back. 
A couple things. 

354
00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:42,100
I want to point out in the 
Learning studies. 

355
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:47,200
The majority of them are based 
around teaching people a new 

356
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:49,100
skill. 
These could be adults that can 

357
00:19:49,100 --> 00:19:51,000
be college students, but they're
learning something that they've 

358
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:56,200
never done before therefore 
these results, apply to people, 

359
00:19:56,300 --> 00:19:59,000
the young athletes who are 
learning a new skill because 

360
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:01,600
like in the studies where they 
compare block and random 

361
00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:03,700
practice, like they're teaching 
them something new. 

362
00:20:03,900 --> 00:20:07,800
It's not like they're getting 
like drilling something that 

363
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:10,300
they already know. 
So it's usually a new task that 

364
00:20:10,300 --> 00:20:11,000
they're working. 
Emma. 

365
00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:18,000
Second, these results I think 
apply to any age group. 

366
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:21,700
And so what we need to 
understand is when we are 

367
00:20:21,700 --> 00:20:26,600
teaching a new skill, it is okay
to involve a bit of block 

368
00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:29,800
practice and block practices. 
Like the repetitive stuff that 

369
00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:32,400
you see, the traditional stuff, 
you see, where you do the same 

370
00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:35,400
thing over and over. 
We've been lucky enough to work 

371
00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:38,400
with the ton of kids that are a 
ton of different ages and 

372
00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:41,300
majority of those kids and the 
basketball world. 

373
00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:43,900
And we spend a lot of time, 
teaching them new things that 

374
00:20:43,908 --> 00:20:48,200
they've never done and sort of 
the format that we've found that

375
00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:50,400
works. 
The best is a simple 

376
00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:54,500
progression. 
And the progression goes, what? 

377
00:20:54,500 --> 00:20:56,400
Keys, lock practice random 
practice. 

378
00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:59,300
So let's like take them through 
that if we're going to teach a 

379
00:20:59,308 --> 00:21:04,300
kid how to swing a golf club or 
a, teach a kid, a new shot in 

380
00:21:04,300 --> 00:21:07,000
basketball. 
What we like to do is show them 

381
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:10,500
video of what it looks like. 
You can go anywhere on YouTube 

382
00:21:10,500 --> 00:21:13,600
and find some Pass the mechanics
that you're trying to teach of 

383
00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:15,800
whatever skill you've tried to 
teach. 

384
00:21:15,900 --> 00:21:19,900
We spend some time letting the 
kids watch that two important 

385
00:21:19,900 --> 00:21:23,000
things happen when they watch 
number one, they see what we're 

386
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:27,100
going for. 
Number two, we have a very, very

387
00:21:27,100 --> 00:21:29,900
important conversation where we 
ask them. 

388
00:21:30,100 --> 00:21:34,100
Why do you think it would be 
important to learn this skill 

389
00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:36,700
now? 
That seems like maybe a simple 

390
00:21:36,700 --> 00:21:40,800
question, but that is huge, is 
what we're doing is starting to 

391
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:42,400
give them a little bit of 
ignition. 

392
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:44,500
And this is something that 
Daniel Coyle talks about where 

393
00:21:44,500 --> 00:21:47,800
it's like, they now see the 
value of this. 

394
00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:50,300
And so if we're teaching a kid, 
maybe to shoot a floater in 

395
00:21:50,300 --> 00:21:53,500
basketball, which is just maybe 
a new shot and we show them a 

396
00:21:53,500 --> 00:21:56,800
couple of minutes of video of 
people shooting it SM. 

397
00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:58,300
Why would it be good to know 
that shot? 

398
00:21:58,300 --> 00:22:01,400
They say, wow, it looks like 
it's really easy to get that 

399
00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:05,700
shot off in traffic and it helps
you get that shot off against 

400
00:22:05,700 --> 00:22:09,100
taller Defenders and they start 
to talk about and see the value.

401
00:22:09,300 --> 00:22:12,200
And what this is doing is 
building engagement And giving 

402
00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:14,700
them sort of purpose or a. 
Why? 

403
00:22:14,700 --> 00:22:19,600
Oh, why do I even to learn this?
And we found that just that 

404
00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:22,300
simple question. 
And that short conversation 

405
00:22:22,300 --> 00:22:25,900
about the purpose of this 
increases, the amount of 

406
00:22:25,900 --> 00:22:29,300
learning big time because now 
they have a reason for it. 

407
00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:33,300
So when we watch, we're doing a 
couple of things, we're showing 

408
00:22:33,300 --> 00:22:35,700
them what it looks like. 
We're having a conversation 

409
00:22:35,700 --> 00:22:38,600
about why it's important after 
we watch. 

410
00:22:38,700 --> 00:22:42,200
We work with the kids and create
skill Keys, which The two to 

411
00:22:42,208 --> 00:22:46,200
three most important parts of 
that technique, whatever 

412
00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:50,300
technique you're teaching, there
should be a few simple skill, 

413
00:22:50,300 --> 00:22:54,100
key, is that come up? 
And so, we usually develop those

414
00:22:54,100 --> 00:22:58,400
keys with the players. 
After that, we let them get some

415
00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:03,100
reps in like a more of a block 
practice type atmosphere. 

416
00:23:03,500 --> 00:23:06,900
Now, that trick here and the key
here is we only spend about 

417
00:23:06,900 --> 00:23:10,900
three to five minutes on this. 
What we do is we'll spread them 

418
00:23:10,900 --> 00:23:12,900
out. 
In their head, they know what 

419
00:23:12,900 --> 00:23:15,400
they're going for. 
They know what the skill keys 

420
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:18,800
are and now we're going to give 
them a ton of reps doing that. 

421
00:23:19,100 --> 00:23:21,500
No defense with no chaos. 
No. 

422
00:23:21,500 --> 00:23:23,700
Anything while they're doing 
this. 

423
00:23:23,700 --> 00:23:27,000
We walk around with an iPad. 
We have a ton of iPads in the 

424
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:31,500
gym and we give them visual 
feedback on this where we asked 

425
00:23:31,500 --> 00:23:33,800
them. 
Do you look like the video that 

426
00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:35,100
we showed you? 
What is different? 

427
00:23:35,100 --> 00:23:37,200
What can we work on? 
Are you doing the keys? 

428
00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:39,400
And we're giving them five 
minutes. 

429
00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:41,500
And in five minutes you could 
get a ton of reps trying this. 

430
00:23:41,700 --> 00:23:47,900
You think and the purpose of 
this up, this block step is, how

431
00:23:47,900 --> 00:23:50,900
does this feel? 
So the purpose of watching was, 

432
00:23:51,100 --> 00:23:54,400
what is it look like the purpose
of the keys is, what's 

433
00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:56,500
important? 
And then the purpose of the 

434
00:23:56,500 --> 00:24:00,400
block practice is, how does it 
feel now after three to five 

435
00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:03,500
minutes, they're going to have a
pretty good idea of like what it

436
00:24:03,500 --> 00:24:05,900
feels like. 
And obviously some made progress

437
00:24:05,900 --> 00:24:09,500
faster than others. 
That's the art side of this 

438
00:24:09,500 --> 00:24:12,200
where we need to work with the 
ones that are Juggling with it 

439
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:15,500
and give them more feedback more
visual feedback reps. 

440
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:18,700
But as soon as they know what it
feels like what it looks like. 

441
00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:23,900
Now, it's time to enter into a 
more random Zone. 

442
00:24:24,300 --> 00:24:27,100
That doesn't mean we just roll 
the ball out and play. 

443
00:24:27,100 --> 00:24:31,200
Now that means we can come up 
with ways to randomize this 

444
00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:34,400
drill or the practice 
essentially. 

445
00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:38,000
What we're doing, there is 
adding some game element its 

446
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:41,500
into the equation and that 
simple progression. 

447
00:24:42,100 --> 00:24:46,800
We found incredible results and 
teaching people, new things 

448
00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:49,800
rather quickly and so will take 
people through that. 

449
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:54,200
And what we is, by the end of 
that session. 

450
00:24:54,300 --> 00:24:56,700
They're using the new shot, 
they're doing the new shot, and 

451
00:24:56,700 --> 00:25:02,600
they're doing it in a game. 
And once they know, and once 

452
00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:07,400
they can show you what it looks 
like in a knot and I'd like a 

453
00:25:07,408 --> 00:25:11,400
non crazy random environment, 
they're ready to random. 

454
00:25:12,500 --> 00:25:14,900
And random and golf and random 
and basketball. 

455
00:25:14,900 --> 00:25:18,600
Again, simply means just don't 
do the same thing twice in a 

456
00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:21,100
row. 
It doesn't mean just playing 

457
00:25:21,100 --> 00:25:23,100
five-on-five. 
Now it means if we're working on

458
00:25:23,100 --> 00:25:25,800
shooting, we're shooting from 
different spots, shooting 

459
00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:28,200
different shots. 
We're just switching things up. 

460
00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:31,500
We're adding some defense and 
the same is true for you guys. 

461
00:25:31,500 --> 00:25:35,900
So maybe we develop our short 
game again. 

462
00:25:36,100 --> 00:25:40,100
I don't know golf lingo, but may
be working on a new Chip Shot, 

463
00:25:40,100 --> 00:25:42,200
or whatever. 
And we give them Those block 

464
00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:43,900
reps. 
And then after that, it's time 

465
00:25:43,900 --> 00:25:47,000
to go around and where it's 
like, hey, we're going to play 

466
00:25:48,500 --> 00:25:52,500
on the Range or on a short short
hole where we're 90 yards out 

467
00:25:52,500 --> 00:25:55,500
where we're going to all play 
with, it's like four balls. 

468
00:25:55,500 --> 00:25:58,900
And essentially what happens is 
with these four balls, we're 

469
00:25:58,900 --> 00:26:01,200
going to hit them up close to 
the green and then they're going

470
00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:04,200
to get four reps chipping around
the green or whatever. 

471
00:26:04,300 --> 00:26:06,300
Maybe. 
So they're like doing different 

472
00:26:06,300 --> 00:26:08,400
things. 
It's starting to be more 

473
00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:11,400
game-like and that's where the 
real development. 

474
00:26:11,500 --> 00:26:15,100
Is it happen? 
That's an awesome way to 

475
00:26:15,500 --> 00:26:17,600
progress. 
I think watching and then the 

476
00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:21,900
keys block and then random it's 
very similar to what a friend of

477
00:26:21,900 --> 00:26:24,100
yours. 
Actually Tim Lee, I'm sure you 

478
00:26:24,100 --> 00:26:26,800
spoke to him a bunch of times 
that's something that he 

479
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:29,100
recommended. 
You know, short block could be 

480
00:26:29,100 --> 00:26:32,400
good for the short space of time
and then to move into random. 

481
00:26:32,900 --> 00:26:35,800
So yeah, that's that's awesome. 
I think that's some great 

482
00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:38,100
information for us in golf 
there. 

483
00:26:38,500 --> 00:26:41,500
That one thing that I would 
really encourage people to think

484
00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:43,500
About. 
Is that conversation of why 

485
00:26:43,500 --> 00:26:45,100
would it be important to do 
this? 

486
00:26:45,500 --> 00:26:48,900
It's like it doesn't seem like a
big part of that progression but

487
00:26:48,900 --> 00:26:51,200
it's huge. 
It's absolutely huge. 

488
00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:55,600
Because I think when you hear 
more invested in, you see the 

489
00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:59,000
value of developing this, 
whatever it is, you're going to 

490
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:02,500
be more engaged in that during 
that progression you'll get more

491
00:27:02,500 --> 00:27:04,300
out of it. 
Quick question Trevor on the 

492
00:27:04,300 --> 00:27:07,900
random part like do you like to 
end that with like competition 

493
00:27:07,900 --> 00:27:11,400
in some way or just is strictly 
just like random type? 

494
00:27:11,500 --> 00:27:13,500
Type of game like, practice good
or do you like to have that 

495
00:27:13,500 --> 00:27:16,800
pressure of a score as well? 
Then I always like to add the 

496
00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:19,700
pressure, the score. 
And this is sort of a tightrope 

497
00:27:19,700 --> 00:27:25,000
that you walk because if like 
Sometimes when there's a score, 

498
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:28,800
people start to play it safe. 
And so what I firmly believe is 

499
00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:33,800
this, I believe in creating the 
atmosphere and practice that is 

500
00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:37,300
as much like a game as possible.
Therefore, there is a score and 

501
00:27:37,300 --> 00:27:40,800
there is a competitive element. 
And then the conversations we 

502
00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:45,400
have with the kids is helping 
them understand that even though

503
00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:48,200
there's a score attached to 
this, even though there's a 

504
00:27:48,208 --> 00:27:51,800
winner and a loser, we are still
here to get better and we are 

505
00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:54,700
still here. 
Here to to grow. 

506
00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:59,500
And so any mistakes that are 
made or any losses or defeats or

507
00:27:59,508 --> 00:28:00,900
whatever like those are. 
Okay. 

508
00:28:00,900 --> 00:28:06,400
And what I tell kids is this, 
never let the number on the 

509
00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:09,100
scoreboard, rob. 
You have an opportunity to grow.

510
00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:14,400
We talked about like the Reps 
that you get in a game, like, 

511
00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:18,300
practice are so valuable, do not
miss out on those and what you 

512
00:28:18,300 --> 00:28:20,100
see in. 
I'm sure you guys see the same 

513
00:28:20,100 --> 00:28:24,100
engulf, is maybe a player. 
Down by few strokes. 

514
00:28:24,100 --> 00:28:26,800
And there's really no chance 
that they're going to catch up, 

515
00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:28,500
right? 
Like, there's just not going to 

516
00:28:28,500 --> 00:28:31,200
win. 
And a lot of people in that 

517
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:34,700
situation would sort of check 
out and kind of go through the 

518
00:28:34,700 --> 00:28:38,100
motions for the next four or 
five holes because hey, I have 

519
00:28:38,100 --> 00:28:39,400
no chance. 
I can't win. 

520
00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:43,500
Just like a basketball team. 
It's down by 20 or 30 points 

521
00:28:43,500 --> 00:28:46,700
like they're not going to win 
that game, but the conversation 

522
00:28:46,900 --> 00:28:49,900
in that I would encourage 
coaches to have, there is look, 

523
00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:53,800
we're playing this or like this.
The reason we're doing this is 

524
00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:56,200
again, we're always focused on 
learning and getting better. 

525
00:28:56,200 --> 00:28:58,300
And the truth of the matter is, 
regardless of what the 

526
00:28:58,300 --> 00:29:02,600
scoreboard says, you still have 
a lot of reps on the table to 

527
00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:05,800
get why, not focus on getting 
better. 

528
00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:10,800
And why not Embrace those reps? 
And you're probably not going to

529
00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:13,100
win, we're probably not going to
catch up, you're probably not 

530
00:29:13,100 --> 00:29:16,300
going to catch the leader. 
But the truth of the matter is 

531
00:29:16,500 --> 00:29:19,100
let's embrace the opportunity to
go. 

532
00:29:19,100 --> 00:29:23,100
Let's get the most out of this. 
Let's find a way to To treat 

533
00:29:23,100 --> 00:29:26,600
this as an opportunity. 
And what you find there is 

534
00:29:27,100 --> 00:29:30,800
number one, they'll start to get
over like the fact that they're 

535
00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:34,600
losing and they start to see 
that the real important part of 

536
00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:38,800
competing and playing isn't like
necessarily winning and losing. 

537
00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:42,000
It's just like seeing it as 
another opportunity to grow, 

538
00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:45,900
especially like a golf and 
basketball in any sport. 

539
00:29:45,900 --> 00:29:49,400
Like if we're telling people, 
that the best type of reps are 

540
00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:53,000
game like reps, well, when 
you're actually playing, Saying 

541
00:29:53,300 --> 00:29:56,900
those are the best reps. 
So, the games are kind of where 

542
00:29:56,900 --> 00:30:01,700
the most Learning Happens. 
Because those are exactly like 

543
00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:05,600
the game because it is the game.
So, you're in the wild, enjoy 

544
00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:08,600
it, regardless of what the 
scoreboard says, enjoy this and 

545
00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:12,800
embrace this and and take 
advantage take advantage of all 

546
00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:15,600
of those learning opportunities 
that the game or competition 

547
00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:17,900
presents. 
And so, the reason that I add 

548
00:30:17,900 --> 00:30:22,000
score and add like the 
competitive element in almost 

549
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:25,700
everything, You do is getting 
players accustomed to letting it

550
00:30:25,700 --> 00:30:29,100
rip even when they feel like it 
matters. 

551
00:30:29,300 --> 00:30:31,500
So, I think that's a big part of
this. 

552
00:30:31,500 --> 00:30:35,700
It's like, can you have a growth
mindset and can you take this 

553
00:30:35,700 --> 00:30:39,500
mental approach when there's a 
winner and a loser? 

554
00:30:39,500 --> 00:30:42,300
And there's a score on the line 
because that's where the real 

555
00:30:42,300 --> 00:30:46,000
value is. 
So my theory with that is that 

556
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:49,300
is a skill, therefore, the more 
reps of get doing that, the 

557
00:30:49,300 --> 00:30:52,000
better, they will get at that. 
Feel like we could talk all day 

558
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:54,000
on this. 
This framework, this four-step 

559
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:56,200
framework that you have, but 
this has been killer, man, we've

560
00:30:56,200 --> 00:30:59,000
got growth mindset. 
We've got the the jungle tiger 

561
00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:04,400
analogy and we've got this, this
four-step framework to teach new

562
00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:06,100
skills. 
Absolutely amazing. 

563
00:31:06,500 --> 00:31:08,300
Where can people go to check out
more. 

564
00:31:08,300 --> 00:31:11,200
I know that you have, you have 
a, some good videos, diving into

565
00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:13,200
some other stuff like, what 
would be the best piece of 

566
00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:15,300
content, you have out there that
people should check out after 

567
00:31:15,300 --> 00:31:18,100
listening to this. 
If they want, more motor 

568
00:31:18,100 --> 00:31:22,100
learning stuff, there's a video 
on the train ugly website, about

569
00:31:22,100 --> 00:31:23,400
block. 
Practice. 

570
00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:27,500
And it might be one of my most 
favorite videos we've made 

571
00:31:27,500 --> 00:31:31,700
because it shows why random 
practice is better and it goes 

572
00:31:31,700 --> 00:31:34,900
into some some data that showed 
some applications. 

573
00:31:34,900 --> 00:31:37,800
And I think it does a good job 
of really painting the picture 

574
00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:42,900
from that step. 
If they're interested in the 

575
00:31:43,100 --> 00:31:46,100
mindset side of things, there's 
a ton of content there. 

576
00:31:46,700 --> 00:31:49,300
I think, the video I would 
recommend, it's called shift 

577
00:31:49,300 --> 00:31:52,400
happens, and it's sort of 
talking about why. 

578
00:31:52,500 --> 00:31:56,000
Why we worry so much about how 
we look and then how to get over

579
00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:58,300
that. 
And so I think those would be 

580
00:31:58,700 --> 00:32:04,300
two videos that I would suggest,
hey Trev, what is, what some of 

581
00:32:04,300 --> 00:32:07,200
your social media as well. 
Like what's your Twitter? 

582
00:32:07,300 --> 00:32:09,700
What can people follow you on 
Twitter and follow you on 

583
00:32:09,700 --> 00:32:12,900
Facebook and things like that? 
Yep, everything is just train 

584
00:32:12,900 --> 00:32:14,500
ugly. 
So we're on everything. 

585
00:32:14,500 --> 00:32:17,400
You could be well, blab,
