Yips Free

One of the biggest issues with the yips, is that the player doesn’t get a chance to work through it properly, because they’re constantly trying to hide it due to the unnecessary stigma associated it.

How do you deal with the Yips? 🤔 Here’s @SmylieKaufman10 and @JasonDufner on identifying what exactly they are, and how to fight back, with the help from former pitcher and Navy SEAL @jasonkuhn255.

“Winners find an excuse to win.” A case of the throwing yips ended @jasonkuhn255’s promising baseball career, but he quickly pivoted and became a decorated Navy SEAL operator and sniper. Full episode: youtu.be/g29cKcc8G3w?si…

Honored to have my work with Lucas featured in Forbes. I'm so proud of him and everything he's accomplished. Much thanks to @SalseraSeattle for writing a wonderful article on overcoming the yips. forbes.com/sites/candaceo…

RT @jasonkuhn255: I'm grateful to have my training mentioned in the @WSJ. wsj.com/health/wellnes…

Our goal is to completely overhaul mental performance training in professional athletics with methods based in real world application over theory rooted in "formal education" or CMPC certifications. @Lucas_Glover_ and @TylerMatzek reached out when all other traditional methods had been ineffective. Using experience based lessons and application drills provided solutions that helped them not only perform well enough to regain their careers, but thrive and win championships in high pressure at the highest levels of competition. As far as the #yips, I want to continue to break down the stigma of mental weakness, fear and shame that is associated with it, dispel it's taboo nature and completely change the way it is managed and treated by organizations. We want to save careers and the team's investment by implementing a rehabilitation program that works across the board just like we would with any other injury.

“The combination of the putter and Kuhn’s guidance helped produce one of the most remarkable in-season turnarounds in PGA Tour history.” ⁦@GolfDigest⁩ golfdigest.com/story/lucas-gl…

WSJ Article - "Saying athletes have the yips is a polite way of saying they're choking." The statement is false and an over simplification of a problem that can affect even the most mentally tough people. An association between the words yips and choking is made without providing defining characteristics of either term which could cause people to falsely question if they are mentally weak. If you're struggling with the yips, you're not choking in the sense that you can't consciously handle the pressure of the situation. I'm living proof and so is Tyler Matzek and Lucas Glover. If you're struggling with "performance anxiety" (whatever the heck that means and depending on how we define it) - you most likely need to learn High Pressure Composure. If you're struggling with the yips, you need to retrain the subconscious and central nervous system to trust free dexterity and override the involuntary tension. You won't "think it away". You must train it away. See more at yipsfree.com #yips #yipsfree wsj.com/sports/golf/go…

An article by CNN sports. If you know me, you know I’ll do anything it takes to win. I hate to lose and can’t be settled until I get redemption when I do. The yips ate at my heart, because I couldn’t figure out how to fight it. Nobody could. One day I threw for 6 hours, until I couldn’t any more. It strikes at the core of your identity, self worth and pride because it affects you at the simple actions- the short throw or putt. It’s embarrassing. It wears on you constantly. It haunts your thoughts when you’re trying to relax. People call it their demon. It’s confusing, frustrating and outright devastating. It steals your joy. There’s never been a consistent solution since the name yips was coined in the 1920’s. Graduating BUD/S relieved the stigma of mental weakness. But I still wanted to kill it. I had a score to settle. Now, with Matzek, Glover and a host of amateur players and new pro clients, we’re kicking this thing’s ass. “He walked me through a process about how to attack it instead of being scared of it,” Glover said. “It freed my brain, my mind and my stroke up … it’s actually become fun again to go practice, to go play, to actually putt instead of being fearful. It’s been a life-changer for me so far.” “As an athlete, representing your country is the highest honor.” 🇺🇸 cnn.com/2023/08/18/spo…

After battling the yips for 10 years, Lucas Glover is now having "fun again" on the golf course. He tells @donriddellCNN how he became the sport's most in-form player -- with the help of a former Navy SEAL. trib.al/ujSSxsU

Discussing performance, defining the yips and working with Lucas Glover @GolfCentral. @YipsFree

We're still working through the emails for 1-1 performance mentorship requests. We're most likely going to max out soon and have to create a waiting list. I also have plans to start a virtual program open to the public at reduced rates. Book will come as well. Thank you all so much!

The yips is involuntary tension created by a subconscious perception of threat. It has nothing to do with a conscience fear or anxiety or lack of mental toughness. The tension creates a mechanical interruption primarily in our extension and follow through.

Yips defined.

I have two websites. One (Stonewall Solutions) is for our traditional performance training. The other is dedicated solely to yips relief. yipsfree.com with a handle of @YipsFree

Please share to help us reach more players, break the stigma associated with the problem and the barriers of the traditional methods of yips relief that continuously fail these players.

A Navy SEAL helped Lucas Glover overcome the putting yips, saving his career. More from @RexHoggardGC on the unlikely duo: bit.ly/45oIQ4o

My implosion in baseball due to the yips was one of the most painful things I’ve been through. But we find fulfillment in how we respond to our pain. A greater response creates greater meaning to it. We suffer well to grow and achieve more. Then, we can use the lessons learned to turn around and help others on a meaningful level. This creates fulfillment. And a fulfilling life is how winning is done…and it pays to be a winner. 🇺🇸
