So I had a lot of people kind of give me advice on how to deal with , you know , bad shots , bad breaks , um , good breaks , how to deal with nerves and tournaments and all that kind of stuff . So that was , that was the stuff that stuck with me more . So , um specifically just how to rebound from a bad shot or a bad hole and like not dwelling on the past .
I think one of the things I did that a lot of people didn't do is I was working out and get my body right , really early . Um , I started working out and get my , you know , doing training in that way . Um , starting when I was 12 years old and a lot of people waited until a little bit longer and that's kind of starting to become more of a thing where people start training physically for golf a little bit earlier , doing strength training , mobility training and that stuff .
But like a lot of people when they're emailing coaches or like giving a resume to a coach , they only put their good things on their resume . And one thing that I did to stand out is I put all my bad tournaments on my resume . I put a lot of bad stuff on my resume because I think it's very important to be transparent .
And I think that that's very important . I think that's something that , that helped me kinda stand apart from any other recruits or , or anybody like that is they were able to see the full picture without having to go digging for it . Yeah , most of it isn't really on a golf .
It's kinda helped keep my injuries low and it's just helped overall gaining strength and being able to hit more shots I wasn't able to do . And then in terms of , you know , practice and getting ready , I , in that sense , um , I like to play on the golf course a lot more , um , than just go out in the range and hit balls . And I think it's really important to go out and , um figure out how to hit certain shots and you can't really replicate that in the range .
