Ep. 251 - The Paradox of Outcomes and Cameron Young

In this episode, Brian and Josh discuss an article about Cameron Young from the PGA Tour and the paradox of outcomes. They talked about how acceptance of his self-talk, staying present, and taking things one shot at a time ultimately led to his success at The Players Championship. The co-hosts examined how tennis players, coaches, and parents can learn from the successes of professional athletes in tennis and in other sports to understand what strategies and mental skills can improve performance.
