More About Dr. Paul Callaway...
Born to be a Coach...
- I was born to be a coach: I'm extremely passionate about helping people become the best versions of themselves! I feel most 'on-purpose' in my own life when I'm helping others achieve their life dreams. And, I fully understand that I can't win as a coach unless I help others win!
- I bring real-life experiences to my coaching: As an athlete in 7 different sports who's had my share of great victories, humiliating losses, and suffered significant injuries along the way that I've had to overcome... as a business owner and entrepreneur who's experienced great financial successes as well as severe financial hardships... as a husband for over 30 years, father of four children and grandfather of two... and nearly 40 years of professional experience helping people as a Licensed Physical Therapist, PhD in Sports Physiology, Certified Sports Psychology Coach and Professional Wellness Consultant, I feel totally qualified to help coach people to overcome any/all mind-body challenges and master their total health and wellness and/or performance goals.
- I'm motivational and optimistic by nature: I choose to see the glass half-full, never half-empty! I coach people to be more inspired by what they 'do' want to BE, DO and HAVE in their life than by the 'fear' of what they 'don't' want. I want my coaching clients to know what their true talents are, be constantly grateful for
- I've been trained to be a skilled listener... with genuine empathy and compassion, open-mindedness and suspended judgement, with the objective a fully understanding and seeking the truth that will most enhance and support your best interests, chosen standards and ideals.
- I believe every person has an inherent 'genius'... genius in at least one, valuable, specialty area that simply needs to be identified and nurtured in order to fulfill the potential of greatness.
- I constantly seek and invest in my own personal development... and will never suggest anything to you that I've not already personally tested or experienced. My life training, mentoring and personal coaching development has come from a large range of top human performance coaching and training experts through the years. However, the person I've learned the most from and continues to be my personal mentor to this day is Mr. Bob Proctor.
- I take pride in my self-improvement... to better serve my clients through continuing education, and learning new coaching approaches.
- I believe in the necessary flow of BE-DO-HAVE... in order to 'HAVE' something you've never had before, you first need to 'BE' someone you've never been before and then 'DO' something you've never done before! Every new and great personal achievement, first and foremost, must begin with a shift in personal 'identity'!
- My strategy for coaching and game planning... begins with 're-framing' any fixed ideas and limiting beliefs that may be blocking your desired results, utilize possibility thinking to seek and create workable solutions that benefit the greater good, instead of dwelling on problems and causes.
- I see my coaching relationship with you... as a 'collaboration' and 'partnership' more than me functioning as or being considered an 'expert'.
- I don't have 'all' the answers... and I'm willing to admit when “I don’t know”. But I'm confident that the professional relationships I've built, and continue to develop, with other top human performance experts around the world will bridge any/all information gaps where I may be lacking.
- Most importantly, I respect and protect your trust in me as your coach! Therefore, I treat any/all information you share with me with the utmost of respect and confidentiality!

Master Your Mind - Master Your Game!
- Dr. Paul Callaway is a golf-specific Certified Sports Psychology Coach (CSPC) and the founder of MIND MASTERY GOLF.
- After graduating from the University of Wisconsin (1982), Paul began his professional career as a Licensed Physical Therapist specializing in orthopedics and sports medicine.
- He then had the opportunity to become the 1st Director of Golf Fitness on the PGA Tour (1984-87).
- Working with the world's best players on tour, Paul quickly learned that the 'mind-body' connection was a vital element to enabling elite golfers consistently play to their fullest potential... and there was never a better example of how our golf 'mind' influences our golf 'body' than what Paul learned from Jack Nicklaus during the 1986 Masters.
- Paul was working with Jack all tournament to help him swing more comfortably. But, when Jack arrived for his final session in the PGA Tour mobile fitness center to get his golf 'body' in top working order before teeing it up on Sunday, Jack shared something with Paul that he had never shared in previous meetings.
- Instead of merely reporting, as usual, the key 'physical' stress areas to focus on during his session, Jack also revealed something very special about his golf 'mind'... a direct insight into how he mentally approached every round, and what Paul soon understood to be the 'secret ingredient' for what made Jack the best player in the world!
==> Dr. Paul Callaway's Favorite Career Experience <==
- What Jack Nicklaus specifically mapped out for Paul during his treatment session on that Saturday evening before winning his record-setting 6th Masters, was his shot-by-shot, hole-by-hole strategy for how he would play his round the next day. He had his entire game plan worked out to the smallest detail for how he intended to shoot a 7-under par round of 65... the score he believed he needed to win by one stroke, to be crowned the Master's Champion and, once again, put on the green jacket at 46 years of age.
- In the same moments that Paul was helping Jack to reform his golf 'body' Jack was also working to reform his golf 'mind'. Paul experienced, first-hand, why Jack Nicklaus won more major tournaments than anyone else in history. It wasn't by mere chance or luck. Jack first formed the winning 'image' in his 'mind' and then he moved his mental image into 'physical' form through what Paul now fully understands as... the Law of Attraction!
- The next day, Jack went out and shot 65 to win by one stroke! He turned his thoughts into results by being a 'mind master'!
- Jack Nicklaus taught Paul about the importance of mastering our golf 'mind' to master our golf 'body', our golf swing and our total golf performance. And, it was the 1986 Masters learning experience and Jack's success formula for 'winning golf' that helped Paul understand the secret ingredient for 'all' golfers to play 'winning' golf.
- When you properly and completely blend the essential golf performance elements of your golf 'mind' with your golf 'body' then your golf 'swing' will be prepared to perform at your fullest potential - especially under pressure!
- Although Paul's resume includes professional golfers like Jack Nicklaus, Raymond Floyd, Tom Kite, Tom Watson, Davis Love III, and Tiger Woods (to name just a few), his true passion is helping golfers of 'all' ages and experience levels to enjoy more rapid and total improvement of their game through the integration of his MIND MASTERY GOLF mental game coaching and training system products.
- With his integrated 'mind-body-swing' philosophy as the foundation to Paul's custom golf mental game coaching programs, he has now helped over 30,000 amateur and professional golfers consistently perform at their highest levels for the past 30 years! This is the integrated golf mental game coaching and golf instruction that Dr. Paul Callaway makes available to you in MIND MASTERY GOLF.
