Josh Gregory (@JoshGregoryGolf) has seen an array of young talent at the collegiate level, but what separates the most elite?
From @brysondech to @PReedGolf and now Jackson Koivun, the best he's been around have all had one thing in common: "No backup plan."
Check out our latest episode with Josh available now, link in the replies!

Xander on Aaron Rai: "Rarely do you feel like people work way harder than you ...
"I feel like I've played a pretty good amount of time, and Aaron is always there. He's always in the gym. He's always on the range.
"At the Scottish, I'm staying right on site there. I thought it was fun for Austin and I to go putt. Aaron is finishing up his little putting session at 9:00 p.m. and going to the gym at 9:45.
"This was three years ago. I think that's what it's about to be a major champion. You puts the work in when nobody's looking. Super pumped for him and his team."
I have watched too many families spend three years and $50,000 chasing a Division I dream that was never realistic.
Not because the athlete wasn't a baseball player. He was.
Because nobody around him was honest enough to say: "Your son is a great D3 player. That is a wonderful thing to be."
D3 baseball is real baseball. Real coaches. Actual competition. Real degrees that open real doors.
The lie is not that your son isn't D1. The lie is that D1 is the only finish line worth running toward.
I asked the Fitzpatrick brothers tonight about Alex having to play in his older brother's shadow for all these years, something that was both a burden and an inspiration.
Their answers were incredible:
Was ass’t in 4 of original power 5’s and HC at charlotte when we went to 7 NCAA’s in 10 yrs.These are valid points. As M Painter said, every coach should do what is best for their school and program.When we lost at UNC in OT, Coach Guthridge said great job;never play you again
Anthony Kim makes 9 birdies for a final round 63 to win LIV Golf Adelaide by 3 shots over Jon Rahm.
He didn’t play golf for 12 years. Was relegated. Re-qualified. Now he’s won.
This is one of the greatest comeback stories in sporting history. Truly astonishing.
Novak Djokovic defeats Carlos Alcaraz 6-4 6-3 1-6 7-6 to capture his 25th Grand Slam title.
At 38 years old, Noavk Djokovic is still amongst the greatest athletes to ever exist.
What a match! CINEMA.
This seems to be the prevailing sentiment amongst non-climbers...
But it's simply wrong.
Honnold's climb of Freerider on ElCap (which was captured on film by the legendary Jimmy Chin) is EASILY 10x more impressive than what Alex did on the skyscraper.
I don't think it's possible to fully appreciate the absurdity of Honnold's free solo of ElCap unless you yourself have been on that climb.
I have...
I've been up there...
I've done all the moves...
(and this was during a period of my life wher I was in the top 0.00001% of strongest climbers in the world)
And I got my ass handed to me.
The 13a crux 23 pitches off the ground is unbelievably technical and requires a level of precision that, to execute without a rope, is nearly unbelievable.
This is a hill I will gladly die on:
Honnold's free solo of ElCap is THE single most impressive athletic achievement in human history.
Nothing else comes even remotely close.
(and certainly not this skyscraper).
If you want to have your paradigm for what humans are capable of turned upside down...
Go watch Free Solo.
Curt Cignetti took over the worst program in college football history and then proceeded to win the school’s first-ever national championship within just two years. It's the most remarkable coaching job in the history of sports.
SVP just fried Cathy for her Caitlin Clark comments:
"If she actually suggested Caitlin Clark should be grateful for what she makes off the court, that's preposterous. Did you miss the Iowa years?? The highest rating that we have ever had followed one of her games at Iowa"

Ashton Jeanty was the only Heisman Finalist to wear team gear today for media photos/interviews.
"I wouldn't be here without Boise State and I want to represent my school. I feel that's important."
