A little golfing champion

Oct 27, 2012 | Articles

I received the video below from a regular reader. It put a smile on my face and I’m thrilled to see little Henry do so well. We can all learn a lot from watching this small clip. I love the way he tosses the second ball onto the ground and then...

Oct 23, 2012 | Articles

I found an email from Scott Barrow while cleaning out my inbox. Scott has been a mate for a few years and we both share an interest in coaching and thinking outside the box. This post offers two different perspectives which I hope you find interesting. Scott is not a...
