The Ryder Cup is a pressure cooker. Team Europe vs Team USA. 12 of the best golfers Europe has to offer against our top 12. It is an epic display of performing under pressure. Last week with Team Europe reeling on Sunday as Team USA made a once in a lifetime comeback, Shane Lowry was … Continue reading Pressure…

Zero dark thirty is a military term. Refers to the hours between 0 - 3:30 when most missions take place. It. Is. Dark. Today, my day began during zero dark thirty. It. Was. Early.

Whenever you notice yourself free falling and unable to muster the goods, slow down and remind … Continue reading Hot air…

One of my dearest friends is Grappy. Yesterday we talked wrestling, mindset, faith, and gratitude. We both wish we could give the depth of our belief to many of his grapplers. They say the right stuff. Know it too. It's the doing they are missing. Many are stuck in the "knowing/doing trap." They know what … Continue reading Grateful Grappy…
