“You’re chasing a feeling.” Whether it’s hitting a flush 8-iron to six feet or riding the perfect line in an Olympic snowboard cross race, U.S. snowboarder Alex Diebold is after the same feeling you are. You might say he’s just like us.
Because when it comes to golf, he truly is just one of the guys. Despite being a premier athlete on the slopes, Alex is another one of us looking to have a fun round while continually getting better on the golf course.
That’s why a mental ability tested on the global stage is so beneficial to his golf game, and why we all can learn a thing or two from a more mindful approach to the world’s most frustrating sport.
On this podcast, Erik Anders Lang sits down with Alex to discuss the mental sides of golf and snowboarding, and how the right balance of fun and gratitude is the most surefire way to get closer to that feeling you’re chasing — even if you can’t guarantee you’ll get there.
