So many players have a chance. 🙌🏼
You don’t need a starting spot to work like a starter.
You don’t need a guarantee to give max effort.
Attitude and effort—those are always in your control.
Bring it every day. Earn everything.
That’s how champions are built.

This is why #2 is playing so difficult. The greens may appear large on TV but the actual playable area is super small on most of them. To top it off if the ball isn’t in one of the green/blue areas it’s probably rolling off the green. Crazy!

“It’s really important that they are able to focus on what they can control today.
We have so many players here who get frustrated about what happened yesterday.
Or they get a little complacent because they had success yesterday.
The things that you do today correctly - that's what prepares you for the future."
