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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
And that’s the part most players have the most difficult time learning…
they try to control Augusta instead of controlling themselves.
If you want the System I use to help players stay locked in and manage moments like this—
comment SCORE and I’ll send it to your DM.
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.
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.
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.
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 👇
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.
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.

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!
As a coach in sports, you realize key moments in the game exposes everything you do.
It just shows what you did—or didn’t—prepare them for.
In those moments, your team is simply showing you YOUR standards, YOUR habits, YOUR preparation
So be honest—did YOU prepare them?
Did you actually put them in uncomfortable situations in practice?
Did you make them think correctly when they were tired?
Did you build real confidence or just run drills?
Nobody magically “steps up”
They fall back on what they’ve been trained to do
That’s on us as coaches.
