About
Paul salter
Golf Mindset Coach
Paul is a High-Performance Mindset Coach who helps high performers get unstuck and unlock their full potential. He coaches aspiring and professional golfers, business owners and executives, entrepreneurs, and professional poker players.
Paul had a fascination for seeking to understand the minds of the greatest athletes in the world from a young age. He constantly immersed himself in books on the topics of human performance and performance psychology, while always studying the greats of his time, such as Kobe, Tiger, Michael, and Roger to understand what enabled them to do what they did.
Paul’s coaching journey began as a Sports Dietitian working with elite Collegiate, Professional, and Olympic athletes. He took many pitstops along the way, including serving as a lecturer to teach Advanced Human Performance at Northern Arizona University and serving as the Lead Nutrition Writer and Editor at Bodybuilding.com.
And, perhaps, his favorite pitstop, was pursuing poker professionally playing live cash - which first introduced him to the power of hypnosis. He quickly ascended from a $1/3 regular to a $2/5 regular that often took confident and calculated shots at $5/10 and $10/10. The 2020 closure of casinos caused him to pivot and to this day he’s grateful that he is able to keep poker as a serious hobby while prioritizing his coaching and education.

What Paul’s Clients Are Saying…
Luke Barton
Scratch Golfer
Paul’s mindset coaching helped me achieve a new mindset and game-plan for executing critical putts and scoring my best on the course!
With his thoughtful guidance, we identified the ‘busy/anxious’ thoughts that were running on auto-pilot and found a solution to foster confidence standing over those short, must-make putts.
Initially, I wasn’t sure what to expect with hypnosis, but I was pleasantly surprised by how beneficial and effective it was. The results have been great both on and off the course as I approach things from a fresh perspective and with an intentional plan for success!
To anyone looking to improve, compete, and find a path to your potential, I highly recommend working with Paul!

Carl Berryman
Coach and Host of Inspired by Impact Podcast
“What can you say when the words 'thank you' don't do any justice for how you've helped me?
I've spent over two decades immersed in personal development, investing in therapy, life coaches, mentors, and business coaches, and I can honestly say that our deep-dive session revealed as much if not more to me than any number of hours I have spent with others.
More importantly, you helped me define the one thing that is holding me back and attack it with courage, embrace it with love, and remove it from my path towards being my true authentic self in this world - aka un-f*ckwithable!
It's amazing how something from my childhood - something that I was aware of but not connected to - became so clear to me in my short time with you.
I want to thank you for helping me find my true self but more importantly, love and share my true self with my world.”
Dr. Kalila Bodden
Medical Doctor & Leadership Wellness Consultant
“I booked in to work with Paul as part of my continuing self-development plan. During our time together, we dove deep to uncover hidden blocks and subconscious connections that were affecting my ability to achieve certain goals - personally and professionally.
I’ve gained greater self-awareness around established habits and thought patterns and have been able to easily bring more intention around how I want to feel.
Paul is a master at his craft – if you’re looking for definitive answers, clarification on why you feel stuck, and gentle guidance for making easeful changes, I would highly recommend working with him.”

“Working with Paul has been a huge game changer not only in my business but in my day to day interactions with myself.
As an entrepreneur, you are your business. If you’re not in the best headspace you can be in for yourself personally, this can bleed into your business and impair your ability to take the actionable steps required to continuously make progress.
Taking the time to experience hypnosis and mindset and performance coaching with Paul has been an opportunity to better understand not only myself, but what makes me tick. Having someone like Paul who I knew I could trust made the process effective and enjoyable.
...Paul’s service is invaluable to anyone looking to improve their quality of life, work, and overall day-to-day human experience.
Thank you for a positive experience and helping me move some seriously heavy rocks, Paul!!”
Lauren Frick
Owner and Head Coach, Frickin’ Strong
“Working with Paul has been an absolute life changer, both personally and in business.
Prior to working with him, I was really struggling to implement the business tactics I’d been learning.
In three sessions, I found the courage to end an unhealthy, 8-year relationship, found a confident voice for social media content, and significantly decreased the anxiety and frustration I experienced around writing to the point where it’s become a daily practice instead of a weekly meltdown.
These might sound like small things, but I can assure you, they were like Everest to me.
“Day to day, I’m generally more peaceful, resilient, and confident. I could go on, but what’s most incredible to me is how quickly I was able to shift and grow.
I didn’t want to write that working with Paul has been life-changing because it sounds so cliche and unbelievable, but it’s the truth.
My only wish is to have started sooner. If you’re on the fence about working with Paul, do not wait. You won’t regret it. It's been a real privilege and an experience I won't forget.”
