Here's My 1% Interview …
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
1% Mindset On The Air …
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!
The 1% Mindset, Coming To You Live
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.
Want Vs. Work
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.
Time To Choose …
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!

Instant Mindset Change …
I love sharing texts, because it gives an insight to others’ mindset, both good and bad, allowing you to learn something from how they’re thinking. This one came from a Division 1 college beach volleyball player I’ve recently began working with. In the past, she fell victim to “big moments,” only because she was wasn’t clear on the opportunity that moment played in defining her future – she wasn’t excited for that specific opportunity. Her physical talent was off the charts, but when the game was on the line, all she concentrated on was, “what if I screw it up?”
The missing link I find with the majority of athletes is their lack of future vision – they train today, hoping the future will somehow manifest into greatness. Instead, I make it a priority to work backwards from WHAT THEY WILL BECOME, to today’s action, giving them purpose and emotionally connecting them to a bigger reason.
Before we talked, she had amazing physical talent, but played in fear. She often became emotionally overwhelmed during big games, trying to prove she belonged. Her confidence wained, making it impossible for her to perform at her best. She texted me this the day after our first hour session together – she CHOSE future over fear!
Fear – Run Or Fight?
We all have fear – we’re human, not robots. It can drive you to excellence, but you must first stand up to it and be ready to fight. I grew up afraid of failure and anything that was uncomfortable or unfamiliar, but made a conscious decision as an adult to fight back.
When will you get sick of allowing fear to dominate your decisions? Choose NOW … no more!

100% Attitude
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?
