Here is a summary of the key points from the video: There are 3 main ways to train: training for feel (focusing on technique), training for the shot (incorporating the full mental process), and training for the round (simulating a full competition). Training for feel is good for beginners/intermediates to build the physical technique subconsciously. As you advance, you should incorporate more of the full mental process into your training, such as a pre-shot routine, point of focus, and post-shot review. For sports like golf and clay shooting, you can do drills that build confidence, like the 5-ball drill and alternating targets drill. The goal is to train the full mental and technical process so that you can trust it and perform under pressure in competition rather than just try harder. The video emphasizes the importance of training the mind and body together to build confidence and perform your best in competition.

Troy and Lannys emphasize the importance of the reinforcement phase in overcoming pressure in competition. The reinforcement phase is directly related to self-image, which affects one's opinion of one's ability to perform tasks correctly. Focusing on solutions and reinforcing positive outcomes in the reinforcement phase can help reduce pressure and improve the probability of future success. The key is consistently applying the three-step reinforcement phase approach: evaluate the task, reinforce the positive, or learn from the negative, then let it go and move on.
