014: Motor Pattern Learning — Getting Comfortable Being Uncomfortable

Changing a golf swing isn’t just about knowing what to do — it’s about how you go about learning it. In this episode, we talk motor pattern learning: how golfers internalize new movements and build lasting change. We cover common pitfalls like rushing drills, under-using feedback, and expecting it to feel “normal” too soon. Erik shares his five S’s of effective practice, Tyson talks about the value of exaggeration, and Jayson reminds us that a student’s goals and work ethic shape everything. If you’ve ever struggled to make a change stick, this one’s for you.
