Acceptance 10-Second Rule

5-10 min Solo Timer, Notebook

Setup

Set a visible timer or count in your head. Prepare a neutral phrase (‘next task’).

Drill Instructions

After each of 15 shots, allow yourself up to 10 seconds to react, then say the neutral phrase and shift attention to the next routine. Journal adherence and subsequent shot quality. Repeat weekly.

Goal

Adhere to the rule on 90% of reps with steady or improved results on following shots.

Make It Easier

Start with a 15-second window.

Coach Tip

Acceptance is a skill—train it like a wedge distance.

Make It Harder

Cut to 5 seconds and use during play.

Avoid

Ruminating longer than 10 seconds; it bleeds into the next shot.
