Daniel Carter Coaching

Becoming a great golfer is no accident.

How you respond to the challenges of golf matters. Frustration after a poor shot. Pressure when a round matters. Struggling to stay present when you’re caught up in scores, expectations or criticism of yourself.Moving forwards starts with understanding what you’re working towards, what is getting in your way, and how you can approach things differently.

I’m Daniel Carter, a mental golf coach working with golfers and golf coaches. I’m an accredited life coach with a diploma in Modern Applied Psychology and over 25 years of golf experience.

My Approach

How you respond to meaningful moments isn’t luck, it’s what we’ve learned – and this can be changed.

Through questioning, I help you understand what is contributing to your frustration, pressure or self-criticism, and see the role you play in your own experience.

With that understanding, you can begin to choose how you want to respond and develop your own ways forwards.

I also work with golf coaches to explore how they respond when players struggle to commit, practise or make changes, and how their coaching can support players to take ownership of their development.

WHY THIS WORK MATTERS TO ME

My own experience of growth shaped the work I do today.

For much of my life, I lacked the guidance and support I needed to grow and learn how to navigate challenges. Golf played an important role from a young age, but my experience was often filled with anxiety, frustration and disappointment.I went on to play poker professionally for 17 years. I had some great success and learned a great deal, but I still felt held back. I felt I had never reached my potential, and what was worse, I didn’t understand why.Coaches and other people who listened, challenged me and showed me what was possible through their example helped me understand what mattered to me and how to navigate the challenges of pursuing it.Today, my life feels more fulfilling, with greater peace and energy. Those experiences shaped the work I do today.
