So you must ask yourself if you have those types of routines. Ways to get you back into the moment, out of your own head, and ready for whats next. If you don't have those routines... then you will find yourself consistently inconsistent.

When the game speeds up… decision-making gets worse. You stop reacting and start thinking. That’s when mistakes pile up. The best players have a way to reset— a breath, a routine, something that brings them back to the present.

Crazy how fast momentum flips in sports. One minute you’re in control… next minute everything feels rushed. Same players. Same game. The difference? Who can slow it down when it speeds up.

Next stroke. Next tournament. Next championship.

@IlliniMGolf Freddie well done! Stay the course. Next!!!

Big Ten Golfer of the Week: Freddie Turnell 🟠 Won the Hoosier Collegiate, his first title as an Illini and the second of his career. 🔵 Carded 212 (-1) as the only competitor with multiple rounds under par. 🟠 Shot par or better on 44 of 54 holes with 10 birdies and an eagle.

@IlliniMGolf Awesome Freddy!

@Raylanstrophan @LSUbaseball That’s a definite Zone performance! I’ve coached 3 MLB players to hit 4 HR. After all three x I’ve said, “you’re only as great as the game after greatness. Get back on the mountain and climb. NEXT!”

@ZoneCoach_ How about that 4 HR game for @LSUbaseball catcher Sunday? #inthezone

Watched a guy at Augusta make 3 straight perfect swings… and still walk off with bogey. That place doesn’t care how good your swing is. It exposes your decisions. Most players lose the Masters trying to force it. The best ones just manage it.

That’s why the best don’t rely on motivation. They rely on standards. Because motivation comes and goes but commitment shows up anyway.

And the truth is… most people aren’t lacking talent— they’re lacking consistency in those moments. Commitment isn’t what you say. It’s what you do when no one’s watching.

Everyone says they’re committed… until it gets inconvenient. Early mornings. Bad games. No recognition. That’s where commitment actually shows up. Not when it’s easy— but when it would be easier to quit.

@IlliniMGolf Let’s go! Energy packed and ready to unleash. Next!

COACHES👇 Your players are always watching you. Not just what you say...how you act. How you react to mistakes. How you handle pressure. They pick up on all of it. All of it. Whether you realize it or not. Be aware of your S.C.O.R.E.® Level to be aware of this crucial fact.

Maybe Enjoyment is the missing link in your sport. Maybe that's ALL your team needs to reach that next level, or to turn the season around. Take the FREE S.C.O.R.E.® Assessment to find out if that is the case for your team - bit.ly/4sdiz3Z

The result? FUN was back. Energy shifted. Tension dropped. Players looked like themselves again. Sometimes you think the answer is: "go harder, be more disciplined, focus more!" But if they’re already tight, that makes it worse. Sometimes the missing link is just Enjoyment.

Just talked to a high school baseball coach on a losing streak. His team struck out looking 10 times. His response? “Tomorrow we’re getting after them—approach, discipline, focus." I get it. Thats the typical fix. But maybe we need to look at this from a different lens 👇

One game they look like a superstar. Next game they look lost. Same player. Same skill. Different result. That’s not talent. That’s the mind. Confidence = free Doubt = tight If you’re not training the mind, you’re not developing the player. The best coaches train the mind!
