Trigger Word Routine

5-10 min Solo Notebook, Timer
Setup
Pick a powerful, neutral word (e.g., ‘smooth’). Set a timer for short, focused reps.
Drill Instructions
Before each of 10 swings, visualize the shot, breathe once, say the trigger, and swing. Journal how committed each swing felt. Keep the word consistent for a week.
Goal
8/10 swings feel fully committed with improved strike consistency.
Make It Easier
Practice without a ball first.
Coach Tip
One neutral cue beats a head full of tips when it matters.
Make It Harder
Use the cue under pressure games or with random targets.
Avoid
Changing the word mid-session; stick to one cue.
