#82: [Inside the Mind] Steven Yellin: Get Out of Swing Prison and Stop Violating the Rule Bank for an Effective, Repeatable Swing In this powerful and enlightening episode of The Scratch Golfer’s Mindset Podcast, I’m joined by Steven Yellin, creator of the Fluid Motion Factor and one of the leading voices in understanding the neuroscience of performance in golf. Together, we dive deep into the mind-body connection, the neurophysiological conditions required for a fluid golf swing, and why most golfers unknowingly sabotage their own performance—especially when it matters most. In today’s episode, you’ll learn: Why your prefrontal cortex (the CEO of your brain) needs to go offline during the swingWhat it really means to have a quiet mind before pulling the triggerHow to check your “threshold of wholeness” with a simple shoulder testThe truth about consistency and how to stop recreating what you already ownWhat the “rules of the bank” are—and how violating them leads to inconsistent performanceHow to train like a pro by focusing on quality of space, not quantity of repsHow the depth of your thoughts determines access to the body’s deepest intelligence Whether you’re an elite amateur or a weekend warrior, this episode will radically reshape how you think about practice, performance, and pressure. Steven's insights are a masterclass in mastering the mind-body connection and unlocking the swing you already have—on command. Get your pencils ready and start listening. P.S.
