lend their support on your road to achievement. They’re selfless, self- confident and are never threatened by your success. I encourage kids to create a list of the people in their lives who meet the criteria of that ultimate circle of support. Young people are faced with challenging moments and difficult decisions. A positive winner’s circle keeps kids focused, out of trouble and steadfast in their pursuit of the dream.
RAISE THE BAR
In order to really develop as a player, you always need to be creating an environ- ment that stimulates
personal growth. Part of this process is continually seeking out competition that inspires you to play a better game. That means playing with others who are better than you, as well as entering bigger tournaments that continually raise the competitive bar. I grew up playing junior golf with PGA Tour star Jim Furyk. Although part
of the same peer group, I always looked up to Jim. His work ethic was unmatched, and I found my- self more determined and focused when we played together.
LEARN YOUR LESSON
A valuable strategy is incorporating a posi- tive post-round rou- tine. At the conclu- sion of their round,
encourage kids to take a moment and acknowledge something they did great during the day. A fan- tastic drive, solid course manage- ment—it doesn’t matter as long as they take one second and give themselves some credit. After they accept a personal pat on the back, next have them ask, “What was today’s lesson?” The lesson defines the focus of their next practice ses- sion, serving to upgrade their most pressing weakness. Remembering the fun stuff while planning for the future is a great way for kids to stay emotionally level and excited about their game.
MAKE THE TURN ACADEMY is an integrated program training young athletes in golf performance, mindset, fitness, nutrition and other strategies for tournament prep and college success.
