Welcome to Episode 6 of the Golf Psycho Podcast! In this episode, golf mental game coach Carlos sits down with two of his former high school students — both Gen Z golfers who trained in the mental game during their teenage years. One is headed to play Division 3 collegiate golf, while the other stepped away from competitive golf and is now pursuing a career in film and video. Together, they reflect on: * The mental game lessons that helped them compete under pressure * How golf psychology shaped their confidence, focus, and resilience * Why mental game tools apply both on and off the course * The realities of junior golf, pressure from tournaments, and transitioning to college * How Gen Z golfers view golf, mindset, and life beyond the sport  Whether you’re a parent of a junior golfer, a coach, or a player chasing your potential — this conversation shows how golf’s mental game creates lessons that last far beyond the scorecard. Episode Takeaway: “The mental game doesn’t just lower scores — it builds the confidence to handle life’s biggest moments.” Guests: Former Golf Mental Game Students Featuring: Gen Z golfers (D3 college player + student pursuing film) Austin D.
