Why Junior Golfers Choke Under Pressure (And How to Train the Mental Game)

If you've ever felt your swing "vanish" the moment the stakes rise, you're not alone.

In this episode of the Flow Golf Podcast, Dr. Rick Sessinghaus breaks down the junior golf mental game: why pressure makes golfers rush, overthink, and tighten up, and how to train mental skills (breath, focus, and routines) so you perform when it matters.

What this episode covers:
✅ Why pressure changes your swing even when mechanics don't
✅ The biggest mental mistake juniors make late in tournaments
✅ How breathing, focus, and routines decide outcomes
✅ Why "don't mess up" thinking destroys performance
✅ How to reset after a bad shot instead of compounding mistakes
✅ What it actually means to train the mental game

This conversation features:
👉 Dr. Rick Sessinghaus (mental coach to elite players)
👉 Coach Josh Alpert (top junior golf instructor)
👉 Elite junior golfer Jaden Soong sharing real tournament pressure moments

This isn't motivation.
It's a framework junior golfers can use immediately.
