🏆 Paving Pathways for Growth The goal is to help players get to where they want to be. During this session, the player discusses potential strategies for hoisting the Senior Club Championship. The gift for me within the exchange is learning something new. It's a win-win situation. That's golf.

You don't need to bat 1000 to have a great year. "You should be achieving 80% or better of your goals to be truly great." Gino Wickman shares in Traction. That is after saying to cut down your goals to about three. We have a tendency to take on too much. Then fail woefully. It's frustrating and disappointing. The feeling of failure... sucks. But the feeling of winning is incredible. And winning begets more winning. Look at win streaks in sports. When we choose attainable, if ambitious goals, we need to keep it to just a few. That makes it possible. And there is no end to the possibilities of the possible. Go get 'em. #goals #quarterly #getafterit

48 opportunities to win That’s what I tell my players before every match. On top of their cumulative totals, each hole (in a 9-hole high school golf match), they have a chance to beat: - Their personal target score - The course to par - Their opponent’s score - Their group’s total Control your wins and the team will benefit. How many wins do you have a chance to get everyday? Go get a few and watch the ROI go right back to your team.

Nick Dunlap is a 20-year-old sophomore from the The University of Alabama and has just become the youngest winner on the PGA TOUR since 1910. As an amateur, he beat some of the best PGA golfers in the world in this past weekend's elevated event, the American Express Championship. He also became the first amateur to win since 1991. During interviews all week, Nick was quoted as saying, "I'm just trying to learn as much as I can." Nick entered the tournament, having won the US Amateur the year before and has played in two US Opens through the United States Golf Association (USGA). He's no stranger to high-stakes competition at the highest levels. Yet, Nick still entered the week with a #growthmindset. He talked about acquiring as many learnings as possible as he walked inside the ropes with the world's best. He observed how the pros show up and prepare for the week of a tournament, where they register and eat, and how they manage their time and bodies throughout the week. Nick learned a lot. When asked in the post-round interview if he had homework to complete that night, he responded, "Yep....but I'm probably not going to do it." I'm sure you'll get a pass on that one. Also, you should ensure you get a lovely gift from Christiaan Bezuidenhout, who took home first-place money (💰 $1.5M!) after finishing second to you, the amateur who can't take $$; although I'm sure that #NIL money will be pretty good. The future is bright on the PGA Tour, and let this be a lesson to us all that when you operate from a place of continuous learning, there are no limits to your success. #RollTide #Golf #GrowthMindset #Goals

Rohan Bopanna becoming the oldest Grand Slam Champion in the Australian Open is making headlines today, but I believe how we create spaces in our lives from these significant wins is what truly matters at the end of the day. Let’s break down this victory into lessons that it teaches us in the long run. ▶️ When we consider this monumental achievement, it reminds us of the popular saying, “Age is just a number,” and where is the lie? Age is indeed just a number. If you want to achieve something and are equally passionate about it, then, no matter what, you are going to make it happen for yourself. ▶️ Determination and discipline are the two D’s that will propel you forward in life. Rohan Bopanna’s win is not merely about being the oldest to achieve this; it stems from a strong sense of determination and discipline. If these elements are included in your life, they bring you closer to your goal. ▶️ The third and most important lesson that this win imparts is, “Consistency is the key.” Yes, when we discuss clinching this victory at the age of 43, it comes with a lot of consistency and commitment, which become the two C’s of achieving success in your life. These lessons are not restricted to sports but are applicable throughout your life. Regardless of your pursuits, it is essential to glean lessons from everything that happens around you or in your life and make the most of it. Even from the ‘bitter’ experiences, you can replace one word and make it ‘better.’ https://lnkd.in/gmvTTdDu #RohannaBopanna #GrandSlamChampion #Victory #Lessons #Learnings #Growth

Embrace your inner confidence, my friends! Remember, it’s the key to success in the game of life... and golf! ⛳️ Your talent is amazing, but when you combine it with hard work, there’s no limit to what you can achieve 💪 #indoorgolf #golflessons #golfpractice #golfquotes #golfquote #confidencecoach #confidencequotes

If you get chance I would definitely recommend this short film from the great minds at Titleist & Titleist Europe on the mind set of High Performance and the rise of Wyndham Clark to his first PGA Tour win. However, It’s a story that transcends golf, it’s a story that you hear about in every High Performance. Somehow you have to find that spark that lights the fuse, that belief that you never knew you had, that takes you to heights you never previously believed you could acheive. It’s the Hero’s Journey of overcoming adversity with the help of a mentor and going on to achieve your very best. There is a Hero’s Journey in all of us. All you have to do is look inside yourself and believe how good you really could be. There is only one of you, you are unique and exceptional. There is no better time then right now to find that spark, that lights the fuse to your own definition of High Performance. If to dare is to do, then I dare you to do it today. Go and create your own story, I can’t wait to hear it. You are creating your future in this moment, so choose a thought right now of something that you want, so you fill your future with that. F-E-A-R has two meanings: 'Forget Everything And Run' or 'Face Everything And Rise!' The choice is yours. - Zig Ziglar #Leadingthecharge ##KeepTurningup #LightTheFuse #HigherFasterFurther #HighPerformance
