Head First Golf

Tiger made the following comment recently after another win (Accenture Match Play Tournament):

“If you don’t believe you can win an event,” he added, “don’t show up.”

I thought this a bit harsh for a moment but then paused to take time to consider what Tiger really meant. And I found, after a little reflection, that I agreed. The thing is we should show up believing – whether it’s for golf or any of life’s large and little challenges.

Showing up ready to win is an attitude that affects everything we do. We end up more prepared. We end up trying harder because of a simple mental outlook. We win only partly because we believed we could – we win because starting out with the premise of winning makes us do everything we can to our best. No wonder Tiger has so many trophies.

Way to go Tiger!
