Inside Nelly Korda’s Secret Routine Before Bed — Even Her Sister Was Shocked When She Found Out
Behind every great athlete lies a set of routines that keep them grounded. For Nelly Korda, her pre-bedtime ritual has now become a talking point — not just for fans, but even for her sister, Jessica Korda, who admitted she was completely surprised when she found out.
Unlike the typical scroll-through-the-phone or Netflix wind-down, Nelly’s nights end with a ritual that blends focus and calm. She revealed that she spends 20 minutes journaling, but not in the ordinary way. Instead of writing about her day, she records her “mental swings” — the emotions she felt during her training or tournaments. From frustration with a missed putt to joy at a perfect shot, it all goes into the notebook.
According to Nelly, this practice clears her mind and allows her to sleep peacefully, free of the mental clutter that athletes often carry. Jessica, who has traveled and competed alongside her, admitted she never realized how disciplined Nelly was about it. “I thought she just went to bed like everyone else,” Jessica laughed. “But that explains why she always seems so composed the next day.”
Fans loved the insight, with many saying it gave them a new appreciation for the mental side of golf. One follower even commented, “This is why she performs under pressure — she processes it at night.”
Nelly’s bedtime ritual reminds us that success isn’t built only in daylight hours on the course. It’s the quiet moments of reflection, away from cameras and fans, that truly shape a champion.
