My guest today is Trevor Jones. Trevor is a Mental Performance Coach with the Aware Performance Group and has spent the last nine years studying and training in ACT and its underlying theories. A former professional golfer, he won a national championship and competed on the European Tour.

Now, he works with high-performance clients across various domains, including golf, water polo, baseball, and stock market investing. He is currently co-authoring a book with sports psychiatrist Jorge Aguilar, MD, on one of sports’ biggest performance barriers—the yips—set for publication later this year.

Trevor lives in the UK with his two sons and two dogs, where they enjoy climbing a mountain or three.

Some of the topics we explore in this episode include:

Trevor’s background with performance and ACT
“Socially Transmitted Dogmas” in sports
The “6 Breaths” experiential exercise
The Yips
Self as context
And The connection between pain and values
