Maude-Aimee Leblanc has decided to begin seeing a sports psychologist after spending the previous ten years switching between the LPGA and Epson tours (and even taking a brief retirement in 2019).
The 33-year-old Canadian earned her way back onto the LPGA this season, but she hasn't finished higher than 20th in a tournament since beginning the year with two top-10 finishes in three starts. "I feel like my scores haven't been as good as my game has felt the last few months, and we are just trying to figure that out," the player said.
"The mental component was a major factor in that," Leblanc has been urged in recent months to read more, especially works that can strengthen her mental game while playing golf. "Attitude is Everything" by Jeff Keller is her current pick.

At Dundonald Links, that hasn't been challenging after 54 holes. Leblanc recorded a 6-under 66 on Saturday to go to 14 under par, one shot off the lead shared by Celine Boutier and Lydia Ko at the Women's Scottish Open.
She said, "I'm just trying to shift my perspective and look at everything more optimistically." "I think my game is quite decent. Because of this, it was frustrating, and the frustration got the better of me a little too much.
"I think my game is quite decent. That's why it was annoying, and the irritation improved me a little. So, yeah, I've been trying to feel more at ease here and, once more, think positively.
Leblanc, who is aiming for her first career LPGA victory, secured a position alongside Ko and Boutier in the penultimate group of players going out in threesomes for Sunday's final round.
Leblanc stated, "In the past, when I've been in similar situations, my adrenaline tends to rise a little bit, and it gets tougher to regulate distance, and then everything gets a little quicker, decisions and everything." "I believe tomorrow will be crucial to notice if that occurs.
