Performance Psychologist and Mental Game Coach for competitive amateurs and aspiring pros. Specializes in focus, emotional control, and scoring strategy under pressure.
Dr. Elena Rodriguez holds a PhD in Sports Psychology and consults for competitive golfers struggling to close out rounds. Her approach focuses on the psychological aspects of scoring, such as pre-shot routines, visualization, and managing the "yips." She helps players bridge the gap between their physical potential and their scorecard by mastering emotional regulation. Her articles tackle the mental hurdles of the game, including first-tee jitters, the anxiety of breaking 80, and the discipline required to lay up instead of taking a hero shot. She turns anxiety into a competitive advantage.
