A basic understanding of the illusion of control along with how probabilities dictate our success eliminates the effect of every throw on every other one.

Great video. Excited to work with you in Portland this August!
That is a nice mind set, I will try it! Thank you Scott!
Last round at our home course I was so upset after bogeying three holes in a row, I lost that round, but I will try this!
Ať to lítá! – is the saying in Czech Republic 🙂 in translation it means Fly well or something like that 🙂
Cheers!
Wow, this is a great way to look at the game, thanks. Impressed with your channel!
Great way to break it down!
That’s one of the best & simple videos on mental game advice I’ve seen under 5 min. Thanks !
I cant believe that this video hasn't gone viral… because you are talking about disc golf…. but isn't this about everything in life?
If a coin comes up heads 10 times in a row there are 0.00048828125 % chance of it happening again the 11th time. thats 1 in 2048. But iknow what you mean, and it's a great lesson for the course, and an even better lesson for life. All that matters is now. You are a zenmaster disguised as a disc golf dude. – Love your lessons Scott, you are my favorite teacher. I miss the blue hair though.
Yes! Great video that is well thought out and very useful. Thank you.
Excellent video. I have been missing this kind of intelligent analysis on disc golf and especially on the mental aspects of the game. I have enjoyed everything Mr. Stokely has published starting from the VHS/DVDs and other stuff. What Mr. Stokely does better than anybody is explaining the logic behind every statement, technique or even opinion. I really appreciate also the fact that he can change his opinions if they prove to be incorrect. I am looking forward to seeing more great videos.
Nice to see more videos, this one is great as usual. Thanks Scott!
I know the letting go is the hard part but it only affects the hole I am on, next hole I say to myself new hole new challenge. It is hard to let go on a hole as I then have to reathink how to throw next shot after if I messed up.
Great stuff Scott!
I saw through the illusion of control a long time ago but I still have problems letting go of my last throw or round sometimes.
This past monday I shanked a 16' putt and got a leftside chainout because I was too busy padding myself on the back for nailing a flexshot through a tight gap to reach the green, the locals telling me that almost noone ever birdies that hole also got to my head a little… brings another saying into mind: "don't count your chickens until they hatch."
