Meet Jon Carson

Jon Carson spent 25 years as a police officer, carrying the weight of people’s hardest moments. When it became too much, he discovered that the same mental tools used by elite athletes could help rebuild a mind under pressure—breathing through stress, learning from adversity, and moving forward.

Today Jon is a golf professional and mental performance coach, the author of Inward. Onward. Forward., and the creator of the 3-2-1 Reset. His TED Talk How PTSD Saved My Life has shared his approach worldwide, and he teaches at B3 Performance Golf, where the mental and physical game stay connected.

At B3 Performance Golf,

I help golfers of all levels—from juniors afraid to miss in front of others, to amateurs battling the back nine, to competitors owning high-stakes moments—turn pressure into presence and performance.

One example stays with me: a 18 - year-old arrived braced for failure before every swing. We focused on breath first—three physiological sighs to release tension. In one session he hit freer shots he didn’t know he had. Weeks later he texted: the same breathing helped him through a math exam.

The techniques in Inward. Onward. Forward.—the 3-2-1 Reset, physiological sighs, and more—work on the course and in life. I’m here to help you build a mental game that lasts.

Inward. Onward. Forward.
