“Competitive sports are about testing your limits, overcoming fear, improving yourself, and helping others do the same.”

– Sports Psychology

“Too many people think the grass is greener somewhere else, but the grass is green where you water it. Remember that.”

“When we have a clear sense of where we’re going, we can be more flexible in how we get there.”

– Simon Sinek

“When things go wrong, as they sometimes will; When the road you’re trudging seems all uphill; When the funds are low and the debts are high; And you want to smile but you have to sigh. When all is pressing you down a bit- Rest if you must, but don’t you quit; Success is failure turned inside out; The silver tint on the clouds of doubt; And you can never tell how close you are; It may be near when it seems far. So stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit – It’s when things go wrong that you must not quit.”

– John Greenleaf Whittier

“I can’t change the directions of the wind, but I can adjust my sails to always reach my destination.”

– Jimmy Dean

“Self-control is strength. Calmness is mastery. You have to get to a point where your mood doesn’t shift based on the insignificant actions of someone else. Don’t allow other to control the directions of your life. Don’t allow your emotions to overpower your intelligence.”

– Morgan Freeman

“Leaders become great, not because of their power, but because of their ability to empower others.”

– John Maxwell

“Your mind is a garden, your thoughts are the seeds. You can grow flowers or you can grow weeds.”

– unknown

“Telling an athlete, student, employee, what they are doing wrong is a huge mental error in performance. The power of thinking about what NOT to do pollutes the brain with the picture and idea of missing, not completing, and filling it with what you want to avoid. Language is powerful that even a hint of what you are trying to avoid can be fateful.”

– Shawn Humphries (twitter)

“If it is a bad shot, I get frustrated with myself for a few seconds, a few steps.. and then forget about it, go find the golf ball and go into the next one with a positive attitude./ take your time, don’t rush and just visualize a great shot on the next one and just commit to it. That’s all you can do. You can’t compound the negativity. You’ve got to try and be positive.”

– Lexi Thompson

“Everyone’s gone through ups and downs in golf. When you’re in those low points, there’s times when you wonder like: Am I ever going to be back in that position? Obviously you believe that you can, but there’s those thoughts. Golf is obviously one of the most humbling sports there is and you can never take it for granted.”

– Rickie Fowler
