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

– Jimmy Dean

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

“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.”

“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

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

“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)

“We cannot become what we want by remaining what we are.”

– Max Depree

“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

“There is no perfect technique or optimum tactics. It is what works for that individual or team, it is a constant moving target, a constant search that is ever changing and never ending. Good coaching focuses on the process and guides the athlete accordingly.

– Vern Gambetta (twitter)

“We talk about how to have success, how to prepare properly and what it takes to win but something I wish I would have learned sooner in life was hot to process failure. How to handle it when it happens. How to use it as a learning moment. For quicker long term success, FAIL UP!”

– Baseball Dudes (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

“Life is short, live it. Love is rare, grab it. Anger is bad, dump it. Fear is awful, face it. Memories are sweet, cherish them.”

– unknown
