This email was sent to me by a major Division 1 college coach I’m close with – her player sent this to her, declaring a leadership role and a willingness to make this next season one to remember!
Hey Everyone!
It’s August! Which means we will be starting the season soon! Just wanted to let everyone know how excited I am for this coming year and all that we are going to accomplish together. I have been thinking and reading a lot these past few months about mindsets and overall positive energy and would just like to share my thoughts with all of you on what I think will help to make this season great! I would also like to hear any thoughts that any of you may have, your vision so to speak.
Throughout my 3 years in college I have seen a lack of focus and drive, which includes myself by the way. Yeah everyone shows up to practice and “puts in the time” so to speak but how much of this time is truly being used to get better. It’s not like we didn’t have goals as teams, but the focus to attain these goals seems to always slip through our fingers. This year that will be different! Our focus will be sharper, our attitudes will be great so that when me meet obstacles we are able to overcome them. The best part about all of what I am saying is that each and every one of us has a CHOICE! We decide to push each other at every opportunity. We decide to have positive attitudes at every practice! We decide everything in our lives! Yes coaches our are bosses so to speak but still u have a choice to listen and absorb or roll your eyes. Every part of your life is the way it is because of the choices YOU have made! so what will each one of us choose?! A BIG TEN championship or mediocrity. Just remember you control what you think, say, and do! This is what ultimately will give you your success in golf and in life. #choices
Let’s CHOOSE to be GREAT! BEST is our new standard!
