“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?

“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.”

“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.”

“You fall, you rise, you make mistakes, you live and learn. You’re human, not perfect. You’ve been hurt but, you’re alive – to breath to think, to enjoy, and chase the things you love. Sometimes there is sadness in our journey but, there is also lots of joy. We must keep putting one foot in front of the other even when we hurt. For we will never know what is waiting for us around the bend.”
