I had a blast on the Golf Club Radio show, with Danielle Tucker!
If you’ve ever doubted yourself … listen! If you’ve ever wondered why, even though you’ve tried so hard to eliminate fears, but they won’t disappear … listen!
We also talked Tiger Woods, and I gave you insight on a PGA Touring Pro I sat down with last month.
Start my INTERVIEW at 1:10
Join me Saturday, August 10th, on the GOLF CLUB RADIO SHOW, 11:00 am PST.
We’ll be talking 1% Mindset, Tiger’s mental game challenges, vision, your Why, and more! Reading about the mentality needed to change is different than listening to a passionate exchange with someone. Tune in!
Let’s get the 1% Message in front of your team! Separating from average is a mentality, not a hope or wish – it’s a guarantee that nothing or no one will stop you from achieving record-breaking success.
The 1% Mindset is a DECISION, promising to never again, get out worked … never again, allow others to determine what’s possible for you … never again, let fear and doubt dictate choices … never again, waste a second of opportunity … never again, make “realistic” a part of your vocabulary … never again, settle for mediocrity!
My message to your team isn’t cliche, it’s driven by mistakes I was forced to learn from as an adult, wishing I had that opportunity while I was competing. “Just do your best” won’t be mentioned … “Be BETTER than your best” will, however!
Your level of success is determined by how closely you align your actions with your desires – it’s an intentional act, never a coincidence. Together, we’ll create a culture in your program, where excellence isn’t hoped for, it’s expected … it’s not talked about, it’s LIVED!
The 1% Mindset is yours for the taking! Contact me here: dgingo@cox.net.
I LOVE this article!! I found it on Twitter, through coach Heather Stewart (@4evrhoopin). It speaks the truth, with no worry of who’s feelings may get “hurt.” Today’s generation has the most, wants the most, feels entitled to achieving the most … but puts in the least amount of effort than any generation in history. Because of instant access to everything today, the majority of young people believe that success should also be attained instantaneously. THIS is the huge disconnect, mentally. You can Google or YouTube how to create almost anything, but you can’t fast forward the amount of time it’ll take, or the effort and the perseverance needed.
This email was sent to me by a major Division 1 college coach I’m close with – her player sent this to her, declaring a leadership role and a willingness to make this next season one to remember!
Hey Everyone!
It’s August! Which means we will be starting the season soon! Just wanted to let everyone know how excited I am for this coming year and all that we are going to accomplish together. I have been thinking and reading a lot these past few months about mindsets and overall positive energy and would just like to share my thoughts with all of you on what I think will help to make this season great! I would also like to hear any thoughts that any of you may have, your vision so to speak.
Throughout my 3 years in college I have seen a lack of focus and drive, which includes myself by the way. Yeah everyone shows up to practice and “puts in the time” so to speak but how much of this time is truly being used to get better. It’s not like we didn’t have goals as teams, but the focus to attain these goals seems to always slip through our fingers. This year that will be different! Our focus will be sharper, our attitudes will be great so that when me meet obstacles we are able to overcome them. The best part about all of what I am saying is that each and every one of us has a CHOICE! We decide to push each other at every opportunity. We decide to have positive attitudes at every practice! We decide everything in our lives! Yes coaches our are bosses so to speak but still u have a choice to listen and absorb or roll your eyes. Every part of your life is the way it is because of the choices YOU have made! so what will each one of us choose?! A BIG TEN championship or mediocrity. Just remember you control what you think, say, and do! This is what ultimately will give you your success in golf and in life. #choices
Let’s CHOOSE to be GREAT! BEST is our new standard!
Andrew and I had an awesome conversation about the 1% Mindset.

* Overnight success
* Building a strong foundation
* Changing your mentality
AND MORE …

I love this! Your “reality” begins and ends with your attitude – how you perceive each situation IS your reality. Your attitude isn’t something that controls you, as many believe … you’re the master! Constructing the attitude that best serves your life is a decision sparked by your Why – your driving force.
What attitude do you need right now to change your situation?
Your mind is capable of doing the “impossible.” Last night, I drove myself to the Emergency Room because I was having massive pain in my lower right abdomen, and didn’t want to take any chances. It had been progressively getting worse over the course of the week, so I knew it wasn’t just going to go away.
When I entered the ER, my pain was at level 9 (on a scale of 1-10). They poked, prodded, took blood and urine samples, and gave me CT scan. I was getting mentally prepared for the worst case scenario, but as the night dragged on, and they began to be able to eliminate the extreme possibilities, an amazing thing happened to my body … I could feel it relaxing and the pain begin to lesson.
Almost four hours later, when all the tests were in, the doctor walked in my room, looking shocked. He surprisingly said all the labs, tests, and scan came back negative, and gave me the o.k. to go home. Again, my body shocked me … I instantly felt all the pain in my lower abdomen completely disappear! How is that possible? The entire day, my stomach had been increasingly worse, I came to the ER with level 9 pain, but the moment the doctor said, “Nothing major to worry about,” it all disappeared.
Your mind has the unlimited capacity of doing what you think is impossible. Let it work FOR you.
In order to make history, you must compete as if THIS practice or game will be the one to make it!
If you’ve left anything on the floor, field, track, or court when it’s over … you’ve let yourself and teammates down.
If you’re not all-in, you’re all-out!
The next time you think about quitting because “it’s too hard,” remember this picture!
Struggle defines character – do you have what it takes to battle beyond pain, or will you stop short of your dreams? No more excuses. Stop whining about why it’s too difficult. Create a detailed future visual and commit every ounce of your hunger to not stopping until it manifests!
Shed tears if you have to, scream in frustration if you have to, but NEVER STOP!
