This early morning, Thanksgiving eve, a team of golfers came together on a zoom BTL practice. Why? Because they wanted to. Was their idea. It’s only our 51st practice but these dudes are BBTL. Reading the book. Doing the writing. Talking to each other. Studying together. Encouraging each other and competing, at the same time, … Continue reading A lone to All ONE…

Today, The 3PP had zero movement. For 45 minutes we practiced static holds. Push ups halfway down. Hold. Vsits. Planks. Lhangs. Rollouts. Leg pins to elbows. Wall sits. All static holds. Engage the core. Hold the position. Amazing how hard it is to simply stand still, my friend. Throughout life we know movement is key … Continue reading Static…

Recently, in one of my top five all time practices, we talked through the beauty of the best warriors. What makes them so effective? Here's hard truth.  They’ve already accepted they’re dead.

When challenged, high performers little voices say things like "finally, bring it, and hell yeah." Normal little voices, when challenged, simply and silently say "Oh, SHIT!" U2 has become a high … Continue reading You too will have to fight for it…

Thanks, Quinn, for sharing this thought in BTL team practice.  Treat yourself like your own first responder. What a great swing thought for … Continue reading First responders…

Was talking with a friend this early am about high performers. He asked me if I still love this work. Spurred a great convo. Here’s the CCD version. You cannot sustain elite level performance without loving the work and loving the team. Fact. Francis Galton (cousin to Charles Darwin) wrote the first white paper on … Continue reading Galton got it right…
