“I was hypnotized” – Paige Spiranac wishes she ‘didn't spend so much time on sports psychologist’
Paige Spiranac said recently that she wished she didn't spend a lot of time with the sports psychologist.
Spiranac didn't have a long career as a professional golfer, as she decided to retire within two years of turning pro. She tried to get the LPGA Tour card, but constant failures led her to hang her clubs at the age of 23.
On Thursday, March 28, the 30-year-old former golfer turned influencer posted a video on YouTube where she spoke about her struggling days as a professional.
"I wish that I didn't spend so much time on sports psychologist," she said. I was a head case on the golf course, Head Case absolute Basket Case. I think I would have made it if I wasn't so cuckoo up there when it came to competing. And we tried every single sports psychologist Under the Sun from bio feedback to like these weird like tapping techniques. I was hypnotized."
Spiranac added that she had observed everyone trying all the means, but nothing was helping her. So she decided to take therapy, as she felt the need for it given that she was going through several changes.
"I've always just had pretty bad anxiety like crippling anxiety," she continued. " And so once I started going through therapy and learning myself and finding inner happiness low and behold my golf game gets better."
