Ep 142 of the Surf Mastery podcast: Lisa Davidsson the Surf Psychologist - What if becoming a better surfer has less to do with technique, and more to do with how you handle fear, frustration, pressure, and the need to perform?
Surfing has a way of exposing what’s happening between your ears. You can spend years improving your technique and still find yourself frustrated by slow progress, intimidated by bigger waves, comparing yourself to other surfers, or turning a bad session into a judgment about your ability.
In this episode, surf psychologist Lisa Davidson explores the intersection of psychology, sport, and surfing. Lisa explains how shifting your relationship with performance can help you enjoy the ocean more, navigate fear more effectively, and keep progressing without making every session a test of your self-worth.
