THIS is what it’s all about – shaping a young person’s life by what you do and how you make him feel. It’s obvious by this young man’s emotional note, Jeff has had a huge impact on his future.
When you look in the mirror and ask how to separate from mediocrity, remember this message. Offer your hand to someone who needs it – it may just be the one hand that changes it all for that person.
There are only two options: Predator or Prey! Will you choose to hunt or get hunted?

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.
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.
I posted this chat a couple months ago, but wanted to revisit it. Coach Godwin is the all-time leading scorer from the University of North Florida’s basketball team, and is now a leading skills coach. His Until philosophy aligned perfectly with my 1% Mindset.

This was sent to me by a major Division 1 coach and one of her players. She had her team write one word that resonated with them, and explain why. This one word laser focuses your drive and specific intentions – it gives meaning to what you’re doing, eliminating the fog that can easily build up, mentally.
What’s YOUR one word?
There’s a reason my daughter’s my WHY!
It’s all about leaving a legacy!
