The S.U.C.C.E.S.S. Path | Episode 3: Clarify Your Wins
Welcome to Episode 3 of The S.U.C.C.E.S.S. Path — the 7-day series on the exact steps my most successful clients took to transform their mental game.
Today's episode: Clarify Your Wins
Janie showed up to one of our coaching calls and shared something powerful. She'd played with a group of golfers who were much younger than her. They were hitting it past her. Scoring lower than her.
And she didn't give up on herself.
She didn't try to swing harder. She didn't play a game that wasn't hers. She just showed up, played her game, and walked off 18 feeling proud.
That was her win. Not her scorecard. The way she showed up.
In this episode, you'll learn:
- Why your brain remembers what stings the most (and how to change that)
- What actually counts as a win (hint: it's not your scorecard)
- How to use the 18Proud™ intention before every round
- Why scanning for process wins rewires your default settings
- The simple practice of writing down ONE win after every round
