Did This Navy SEAL Figure Out The Mental Game of Golf?

In this video Mike Granato & Shaun Webb from Athletic Motion Golf are joined by Dr. Joe LaCaze, a former Navy SEAL, SEAL instructor, and the inventor of the Rotex and LAS training systems. He shares the wild story of a parachute malfunction that put him on foot in the path of a moving train, and how he walked away from it. From there the conversation shifts to what nearly 30 years of training SEAL candidates taught him about building difficult skills, including why process matters more than outcome, why "smooth is smooth, slow is smooth, smooth is fast," and why practice makes permanent, not perfect.

They also cover a story about a tour player whose putting yips disappeared after a session on the pistol range, and Dr. Joe's own recent results after applying his training system to his golf swing.
