E43: Playing "Stressed" Golf 1:05:12

1+ y ago1:05:12

1:05:12

Many times I hear girls and parents say “I played great during my practice round” or “I can shoot X score when I play at home”. Bottomline is those are not and never will be the same as tournament golf. The goal is to better prepare for the difference and how you are inherently going to feel and react during tournaments. Create confidence in your g…

Always finish what you start | Bryana Nguyen 21:59

1+ y ago21:59

21:59

One of our biggest takeaways from speaking from Bryana Nguyen is to never give up what you’re doing and to always go to the finish line. Also, if you’re going to do something—whether it’s a sport, writing a book, or even finishing your vegetables—do it on your account. Do things that make you happy and excite you. In the long run, that’s all that m…

2y ago26:41

26:41

A big takeaway from our conversation with Jason D’Amore is authenticity. If a player doesn't love their sport, their journey will not work out well. So, if you’re going to do something, make sure you love it or you’re wasting your time. Our parents often ask us “Do you really love golf?” Just like D’Amore, they believe if we don’t love it, we shoul…
