I was cleaning out some old stuff today and came across a photo of my high school golf team back from 1994-95. Yeah, I'm the dorky-looking kid in the middle of the back row behind the steering wheel.
This was my sophomore year, which happened to be my absolute best year. MVP and all that. I think a lot of it had to do with coaching. It was our first year with Coach Halpin, and since then, he's put together a really successful team...I think they got 2nd in state last season.
Accomplishments have so much to do with confidence and optimism. I really excelled for only that one season in high school, and not-coincidentally, the other three seasons were under different coaches. I think that I'm a little better at motivating myself nowadays, but it never hurts to acquaint yourself with people who will always express confidence in you. It's like shots espresso for the psyche.
