Warming Up with Brooks Koepka

Місяць тому

Brooks Koepka won five majors thanks to maybe the best mental game in golf. But says he thinks about “nothing” when he’s hitting a golf shot. We wanted to find out more, so Dylan Dethier joined him on the range to dig a little deeper into the mind of a champion.

Never heard Brooks talk this much and be as personable as he is here, great job Dylan

Real talk. Interviews with Brooks is like asking your kid to smile for pictures before opening Christmas presents and you’re getting a mailed in/hurry the fudge up and let’s do this

@johnsmith42688 27 днів тому

Yep, that's probably one of the smartest things he's said...imagine if someone rolled the golf ball toward you and had to hit it at the target...you would probably make a pretty decent sequenced swing... But...this is way easier said than done and just making it reactionary is hard af Probably same reason why some great nba players miss free throws

@@vanbalzup6481 Golf is static, hockey is not. This brings a the mental side of the game to a whole new level. And Rory is not worst by a landslide. You know very little about professional golf if you really belive that.

@jarrettmcgregor1001 28 днів тому

I love how simple Brooks keeps the game of golf. See target - hit it. If you're nervous, you're thinking about outcomes. Hit a fade, don't let the clubface rotate. Awesome.

@zackferguson141 22 дні тому

I think even casual golfers like myself think to much about it. I notice how much better I play when I’m just care free and playing the shot I hit lol crazy how mental this game is!

I disagree. The interviewer's skills and knowledge of playing the game seem very low. Brooks made the interview 'go'. So many closed ended questions could have been rephrased to open ended. Oftentimes, it seems like the interviewer is timid, mumbling, or looking down. Luckily, Brooks was in a conversational mood and forthcoming with insights.

Never been the biggest Brooks fan from a personality perspective. This was a phenomenal interview and has changed my opinion. Dylan did an amazing job of connecting with Brooks to make him feel comfortable and give his honest thoughts and mindset while standing over the ball. Great job.

@kennyroush2880 28 днів тому

People who don’t get Brooks should watch this video. A lot of people have a misconception that he doesn’t care, but that’s not it. He’s a feel player who doesn’t get caught up in numbers and trains hard. Simple, old school. It works too.

@johnsmith42688 27 днів тому

Yep, he just doesn't get sucked into it all...he's the perfect example of what they mean when they tell players to "be an athlete" in this game...he thinks about almost nothing besides aim at target and hit....mechanical thoughts and complexity would take away his best asset (his athleticism)...it's easier said than done but something can definitely be learned from brooks, i don't think it's that h3 doesn't care, he was really down in the dumps on the Netflix show during his slump, so he clearly cares...I think he acts this way cause it keeps him grounded

@trevorcolletti3693 23 дні тому

People forget brooks has four 2nd place finishes in majors as well. His 2019 was one of the greatest seasons ever that nobody talks about with his worst major finish being a T4 in the open. People love to hate him, but damn I hate that I love him. Dude shows up, shuts up and golfs his butt off when the lights are brightest.

@emptybanana 22 дні тому

Great video. I’ve always liked Koepka’s playing style and approach to the game. It’s great to hear him discuss how he is just going with it and not so consumed with the numbers or analytics. It’s fun listening to Bryson or Phil really get into it, but listening to this was so refreshing. I walked the course with brooks when he played at Bellerive in the PGA Championship. He was so dialed in and didn’t let anything get in his head. He turns into a beast in those majors.
