“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.”

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

• “All kids need is a little help, a little hope and someone who believes in them.”

“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

“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

“A lie doesn’t become truth, wrong doesn’t become right and evil doesn’t become goo, just because it’s accepted by a majority.”

“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

“Ultimately, it comes down to you learning you. You becoming your own coach. You being able to recognize the adjustments you need to make. You learning right from wrong. You taking care of your body. You preparing for your next game and you being responsible and accountable for all your actions and choices. It’s on you!”

– Baseball Dudes
