Mental Skills You Can Learn From Golf with Gaston Spithas

Golf is a sport like no other. Whereas some even doubt that it is a sport, others use every minute they have to be on the course, play with friends or improve their game. Some think it is boring and for others it is the gate to a higher state of consciousness. If you go deeper into golf, you recognize, that it really has a meditative side to it, it demands high focus and concentration and it pushes you to not only reach high levels of body control, but also to control your breathing and your thoughts.

In this episode, I talk with Gaston Spithas, who is an Argentinian professional golf coach in Spain at the Costa del Sol and teaches players at every level on the various courts of Marbella, San Pedro de Alcantara and Estepona. Gaston is 31 years old and has basically started to play golf as soon as he could walk. He provides great insight into the mental side and the strategies of golf. These aspects are really fascinating for those interested in golf, already playing golf and also for those who seek inspiration for other areas of life, business or other sports.

Some of the questions I ask Gaston Spithas:
