In this high-performance episode of the Forged in the Fires Podcast, Fireman Rob sits down with Rick Sessinghaus, one of the most respected performance coaches in golf and leadership.

Rick is the creator of FLOWCODE, a transformational performance system designed to help athletes and executives unlock clarity, confidence, and flow under pressure. He has coached a two-time major champion, Collin Morikawa, since he was just eight years old—and was there for the final round when Morikawa won his first major. He’s also spent a decade coaching more than 90 athletes in the Special Olympics, demonstrating that performance excellence is about mindset, not just mechanics.

But Rick’s story isn’t just about championships—it’s about setbacks.

He opens up about choking during his own attempt to make his college golf team and how that failure shaped the foundation of his coaching philosophy. He shares lessons from failed business ventures, personal disappointments, and how those moments forged resilience, emotional intelligence, and long-term success.

This episode dives deep into performance psychology, failure as fuel, and how leaders can enter the “flow state” when it matters most.

If you’re an athlete, executive, or high performer looking to elevate your mindset and operate at your peak, this conversation delivers.
