"Free will is a golfer's greatest source of strength and power. Choosing how to think is a crucial decision." - Dr. Bob Rotella in "Golf Is Not a Game of Perfect"
What lessons have sports taught you over your young careers? Think about them. In your 'formative years' you craft habits, beliefs, attitudes, and values that define your future.
- Adopt a philosophy that works for you. Make it uniquely yours.
- "Look for the helpers." - Mr. Rogers Find mentors and learn to network to advance yourself and your teams. The "self-made" person is a myth. Every successful person got help.
- Find ways to lead. Keep a "leadership scorecard." It might be a small action, cleaning your room or shoveling the walk.
- Be a great teammate. How can you be a better teammate today? Work out with a friend. Tell a teammate what you like about their play. "Make teammates feel valued." Being a great teammate is a choice.
- "Leave the jersey in a better place." - James Kerr in Legacy
- "Always do your best." - The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz
Lagniappe. Seek excellence. How you do anything is how you do everything.
