In Western New York, the love for golf goes beyond the fairways and greens. OnCore Golf and Psych Me Up Consulting are two dynamic forces dedicated to enhancing the golfing experience while making a positive impact in the community. Their collaborative efforts focus on inclusivity, empowerment, and support, ensuring that every golfer has the resources they need to unlock their ultimate potential.


Fostering Inclusivity Through Partnerships

OnCore Golf has consistently demonstrated a commitment to making the game of golf more inclusive and accessible. By partnering with organizations like Black Girls Golf, OnCore empowers and encourages women of color to participate in the game. This partnership goes beyond merely playing golf; it emphasizes building a sense of belonging and confidence among its members. By breaking down barriers, OnCore is fostering a diverse golfing community where everyone feels welcomed and valued.


Supporting Veterans with PGA HOPE

OnCore’s current partnership with PGA HOPE (Helping Our Patriots Everywhere) further underscores its dedication to making a positive impact. This program introduces golf to military veterans as a means of enhancing their physical, mental, social, and emotional well-being. Through this collaboration, OnCore honors those who have served, using the power of golf as a tool for healing and rehabilitation. This initiative illustrates how the sport can be transformative, offering a supportive community for veterans.





Commitment to Diverse Levels of Play

OnCore's commitment to inclusivity is also reflected in its former partnerships with the EPSON Tour and the APGA. The EPSON Tour serves as a crucial stepping stone for aspiring women golfers to achieve their professional dreams, while the APGA focuses on increasing diversity in the sport by providing playing opportunities for African American and other minority golfers. These partnerships highlight OnCore’s dedication to supporting various levels of golf and making the game accessible to all.

By providing valuable resources for mental performance training, Psych Me Up is committed to supporting golfers of all levels, helping them enhance their focus, confidence, and emotional resilience. Looking ahead, the organization is planning more collaborative events with PGA HOPE and PGA Reach, aiming to broaden its outreach and ensure that all golfers in Western New York have access to essential mental performance resources. Psych Me Up will be a proud sponsor of the The Inaugural WNYPGA Birdie Bash to benefit Golisano Children's Hospital and PGA REACH WNY hosted at Monroe Country Club in Rochester, NY.

Who is Psych Me Up Consulting?

Psych Me Up Consulting is a sports psychology practice dedicated to helping athletes of all ages unlock their ultimate potential. We believe that sport is 80% mental and only 20% physical.

At Psych Me Up, we emphasize preparation and awareness. By equipping athletes with mental tools and strategies, we empower them to navigate challenges with confidence and resilience, enhancing their overall performance. Our goal is to elevate the mental aspect of sport, enabling athletes to meet every challenge with ease.


The Role of OnCore Equipment in Golf

OnCore's proprietary perimeter weighting technology enhances the Moment of Inertia (MoI), minimizing side spin for straighter, longer shots with tighter dispersion and improved stability, even in windy conditions. Our VERO X1, VERO X2, and ELIXR golf balls leverage this technology for optimal distance, control, and feel.


We pride ourselves on being a technology company first. This is exemplified by our GENiUS Ball, which features embedded electronics that capture nine real-time data points, providing you with valuable insights into your game.

Psych Me Up Consulting offers tailored strategies that can significantly enhance performance on the course. Here’s how our expertise can help:

  1. Enhanced Focus: Techniques like mindfulness and visualization allow athletes to eliminate distractions and concentrate fully on their performance. This improved focus leads to better decision-making and execution during critical moments.

  2. Boosted Confidence: We provide tools for building self-belief, such as positive self-talk and affirmations. By reinforcing a strong sense of capability, athletes can approach each game with confidence, reducing anxiety and enhancing performance.

  3. Emotional Resilience: With strategies to manage stress and setbacks, athletes can cultivate resilience, enabling them to bounce back from mistakes and maintain a positive outlook throughout their journey.


By integrating these principles, we empower athletes to improve their skills and develop a strong mental game, leading to consistent success on the course.

Real Success Stories

“When thinking about your drives, would 30 yards make a difference? That’s exactly what I’m getting with the VERO X1 over my previous favorite ball. When I hit into the green, it’s pop, hop, and stop. Fantastic ball!”

-Michael M.


“I played in windy conditions and shot not only my best round of the season but also my lowest round ever! Great feel from the VERO X1.”

-Satisfied Golfer


"For many years, I've struggled with in tournament play. I've always found myself playing with a lot of tension, which never allowed me to play to my ability until I started working with Natalie. She has given me skills and techniques to use while playing in tournaments. I found myself playing some of my best tournament golf this past year while working with her"

- Kyle B


"I played a live round of golf with Natalie. This was real-time, raw, situational golf, complete with very common ups and downs…moments of stardom coupled with moments of true frustration. Before this experience, I have heard…not necessarily believed, that mind/thought interference can overwhelm any inherent athletic talent ... From her, that day, during the round, I learned things about myself that I may have known but never believed…commit, trust your abilities, focus and re-focus, the good golfer is in you…that last bad shot is not the new permanent you. If you’re wondering what a live round with Natalie might do for your relationship with the golfer n you…stop wondering and go find out"

-Gian-Paul P.




 
 
 

Athletes often focus on physical training, but developing mental skills is equally important for achieving peak performance. Cultivating an inner coach can help athletes navigate the highs and lows of their sports careers with resilience and grace.


Here are five crucial steps to developing inner coach skills: patience, encouragement, motivation, confidence, and control.


1. Patience: Understanding the Journey

Patience is the cornerstone of any successful athlete's mindset. The path to excellence is rarely a straight line; it involves setbacks, plateaus, and gradual progress. An inner coach must remind athletes to stay patient and trust the process. This involves setting realistic goals, celebrating small victories, and understanding that improvement takes time. By embracing patience, athletes can reduce frustration and avoid burnout, making the journey more enjoyable and sustainable.


2. Encouragement: Building a Positive Inner Dialogue

Encouragement plays a vital role in fostering a positive mindset. An inner coach should constantly offer words of affirmation and support, especially during challenging times. This involves replacing negative self-talk with constructive and uplifting messages. For instance, instead of thinking, "I can't do this," an athlete should learn to say, "I am improving and getting closer to my goal." Positive self-talk can enhance self-esteem and build a resilient mental framework that withstands adversity.


3. Motivation: Fueling the Inner Drive

Motivation is the engine that keeps athletes moving forward, even when obstacles arise. An effective inner coach helps athletes identify their personal "why" – the deep-rooted reasons behind their dedication to the sport. Whether it's the thrill of competition, personal improvement, or the desire to inspire others, understanding these intrinsic motivations can reignite an athlete's passion during tough times. Additionally, setting both short-term and long-term goals can provide a roadmap that keeps motivation high and focused.


4. Confidence: Believing in Abilities

Confidence is essential for peak performance, and it can be cultivated through consistent practice and mental conditioning. An inner coach encourages athletes to focus on their strengths and past successes rather than dwelling on failures. Visualization techniques, where athletes mentally rehearse successful performances, can also boost confidence. By reinforcing a belief in their abilities, athletes are more likely to take risks, push their limits, and perform under pressure.


5. Control: Mastering Emotional and Mental States

Control over one's emotions and mental state is crucial for maintaining focus and composure during competition. An inner coach teaches athletes to recognize and manage stress, anxiety, and distractions. Techniques such as deep breathing, mindfulness, and relaxation exercises can help athletes stay centered and perform optimally. By developing emotional and mental control, athletes can maintain clarity and make better decisions, even in high-pressure situations.


In conclusion, developing inner coach skills is a multifaceted process that involves patience, encouragement, motivation, confidence, and control. By nurturing these qualities, athletes can build a robust mental framework that supports their physical training and enhances overall performance. Embracing these steps not only contributes to athletic success but also promotes personal growth and well-being.
