#122: [Inside the Mind] Trevor Tellin: The Power of Self-Talk and Having Better Conversations with Yourself to Build Confidence and Resilience

Your self-talk is the only voice you hear 24/7 — and most days, it's not that kind.

For many golfers and entrepreneurs, that inner dialogue quietly runs the show: it talks you out of what you know you should be doing, keeps you glued to comfort, and convinces you you're not ready, not worthy, or not capable of the next level.

In this episode of The Scratch Golfer's Mindset Podcast, I sit down with mindset coach Trevor Tellin to unpack how your inner voice shapes your identity, your confidence, and your results — on the golf course and in business.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• Spot the invisible ways your self-talk sabotages your golf game and business.
• Use a simple "reward scale" to win more debates between the couch and the range.
• Personify your inner voices so you can work with them instead of being ruled by them.
• Create space between you and your thoughts so they feel less personal and more workable.
• Use Interloop to capture real self-talk data from your rounds and turn it into growth.
• Understand fear of success, over-identifying with "the grind," and how they keep you stuck.
• Build mental toughness and confidence through repetition, hard things, and self-compassion.

Get your pencils ready and start listening.
