We are absolutely delighted to have Andrew John Coltart on the podcast. He is a Scottish professional golfer and TV commentator. He had a successful amateur career and played in the 1991 Walker Cup, and as a professional he won twice on the European Tour, the 1998 Qatar Masters and the 2001 Great North Open, and played in the 1999 Ryder Cup. We talk about his golfing career and how he is able to make sure he’s in peak physical condition in order to keep his mind in the right place when playing well really matters.

“Fundamentally from week to week, you try to make sure that you’re in peak physical fitness and still in peak physical fitness on the Sunday so that your brain doesn’t fatigue, so that your concentration doesn’t fatigue, so that your body doesn’t start to shut down, and so that you don’t start to squander shots when really the checks and the prize money, things like that are on the line.” 7:01
