Overthinking is Killing Your Golf Game – Dr. Chris Niebauer #407

Are you overthinking your golf game? In this episode of The Mind Caddie , we're joined by Dr Chris Niebauer, author of No Self, No Problem , to explore how your thinking mind may be holding back your performance. We dive into the science and psychology behind overthinking, focus, and mental performance—on and off the course. Dr Niebauer explains why the brain is wired for survival, not success, and how this outdated "prediction machine" can interfere with your ability to play freely and instinctively. If you've ever felt stuck in your head instead of immersed in your game, this conversation will change how you see your mind—and your golf. In this episode, we cover: Why overthinking ruins performance in golf The brain's survival bias and constant need to predict "If you're thinking, you're not playing" How to reconnect with your body and sensory awareness Why simplicity beats complexity in sport The limits of attention—and how to use it effectively The "left brain interpreter" and the illusion of control How to stop taking your thoughts so seriously Finding freedom without trying to control your mind This is a powerful, perspective-shifting conversation that will help you play with more freedom, clarity, and trust.
