Get motivated to play your best disc golf.
How do I make practice fun? How do I make training enjoyable? Both questions have a hidden, underlying, unspoken meaning behind them, “If training/practice isn’t fun, I won’t do it.”. In the end, if we want to be great at anything, there is a problem with this statement. If you want to be the best at … Read more
3 months straight. That’s how long I’ve been training daily in an effort to ready myself for the 2015 Glass Blown Open. I’m slated to arrive in Emporia on April 26, which means I’ve got 6 weeks left to prepare. It’s been 12 weeks of working out, meditating, practicing putting, studying up on the mental … Read more
One of the common things you hear from professional athletes in any sport during their second year of playing is that the game has “slowed down”. They say they can better keep up with the other players and the action on the field. It’s a lot like learning to drive on the highway. The first … Read more
Life doesn’t let up. Ever. I wish sometimes that it did, but it doesn’t. Sure, there are times when you can carve out a few moments to step back and take a breath. That’s necessary for progress and for sanity. But on the whole, you’ll always have to be back at it sooner than … Read more

One of the things I love about disc golf is that it’s one of the few sports I’ve seen where the competitors actually root for each other. I want you to make your 30 foot putt. I want you to drive it in the fairway. I’m super excited for you when you hit an ace. … Read more
Don’t compare your middle to someone else’s end. That’s not the punchline to a dirty joke, those are words that all of us need to remind ourselves of every once in a while. This isn’t just a piece of disc golf advice, this is invaluable life advice. We have a terrible tendency to look at … Read more
So, it’s 2015. Another year starts, another season of holidays ends. A lot of us end our years in the same way. We overindulge, eat too much, stop going to the gym (if we were even going in the first place), and otherwise slip into what we know is bad behavior simply because “things are … Read more
I’m not actually a big fan of New Year’s resolutions. Why wait until one particular day of the year to commit to sweeping changes that you know you won’t stick to in the long run any way. If you were really going to change something, if you really, really wanted to, wouldn’t you have … Read more
