Mental Skills Training is the application of sport psychology theories, principles, and strategies to enhance performance and self-awareness.

Some specific examples of mental skills include:

• the ability to manage life stress and performance anxiety
• being able to control distractions and enhance your focus in high pressure situations
• grow confidence and self-esteem
• deal with adversity while building resilience… plus much more!

It depends! What does it depend on? YOU!

Mental training does require dedication, practice, and a positive mindset. Imagine any of the skills you currently are proficient in… perhaps you thought of a double lutz, a chord progression, a report or project, or a manner of conducting yourself in life. We encourage you to view mental skills in a similar manner. Just like working out and going to the gym. It takes consistency and patience to see lasting results. 

That said, the obvious benefit of mental skills is that they can be practiced at any time, in any place. In the car on your way to the course? Check. Can’t sleep in bed? Check. Waiting in line at the grocery store? Check.

For ADVANCED Members - I do a live training or coaching call for members at least once a week and I like to talk so my calls are sometimes 90 minutes to 2 hours. I also am a frequent community group visitor. I like to go in, offer advice and answer questions. A lot of times I just go and do a surprise live video so that I can talk to you all and answer questions in the moment.

One of the ways I like to structure my time with everybody in the advanced membership is by making sure I'm addressing things as they're happening. I give you structure in the Mat Park Golf Academy course, but one of the neat benefits of being inside of my advanced membership is that I get to respond in real time. I get to see what everybody needs most, what's going on so that I can offer some help, get in there with a training or surprise live video. And then once we do that, we drop it into our private member podcast (for advanced members only) so that if you're not there live you can still get the benefit of working with me.

You'll find I'm in the community and taking to players inside the academy a lot. In fact, my membership are the only people who get me live on camera each week. You are the only people who get multiple instances with me each week. I specifically work with my members on purpose because you guys need me. That's why I'm in there. And that's something that I really believe in. My members are also the only people who get to see me live in-person at member-only events.

Yes. I really am there. I often pop-up "live" in our community page when I am reading posts to jam on a topic. You have pre-scheduled LIVE calls for our advanced members only where I answer you and coach you.

No sweat! Advanced members can pop in the Private Member Podcast or watch the video replay whenever you have time to listen. Most people do not listen to "every" single video and live stream. We organize them by topic so you can pick and choose what is relevant to you.

We have group coaching. This means you can ask a question at anytime, attend the open office hours, or use the power of our amazing community. We don't assign one on one coaches but we are really good at making sure if you have a question you get an answer. And we love to help our members find others like them for support and intimate accountability. If I am good at one thing, it's building a powerful tribe of players doing amazing things with their lives while performing with excellence.

Of course! I have members all over the world. The nice thing about being online is that it connects us. You just need the internet. Our calls are varied to different days and times to accommodate all types of time zones.

The fees for Mat Park Golf Academy (MPGA) are in US dollars.

If you have questions that are not answered on this page, feel free to email us at [email protected] and we will get back to you.

I set this whole program up to make sure that it's super flexible, because if you're like me, you aren't a player just sitting around looking for a mess to pick up or someone to give you more work to do.

I keep the lesson inside MPGA short so that you can play them individually with whatever time you have during your week. It's self-paced, so you can go as fast or as slow as you wish. If you're a binge listener, get after it. If you're slow and steady, get after it.

In addition to watching the course, most players inside MPGA spend five minutes a day writing in their daily plan. Sometimes, players might even spend 10 minutes a day if they are enjoying journaling or need to pop into the website or FB Group to ask a coach a question, but people don't do that everyday.

Everything else - the private member podcast, video replays and bonus workshops are optional AND self-paced. This is all part of the program, but we record and save everything in our on-demand video and audio libraries so you can use them when you want.
