Embracing Fun and Focus in Sports: Gaining Insights from Coaches

June 15, 2023

Hey there, It’s time to tee off and dive into the wonderful world of golf and running. I am sharing my perspective on how golf and running are about having a great time while staying focused on the sport. So, grab your clubs and shoes… let’s hit the fairways and trails!

One thing that makes golf so incredible is the final message we receive from our coach at the end of each match. It’s like the cherry on top of a perfectly executed putt. Our coach reminds us to look out the front window when driving and not in the rearview mirror. That means forgetting about mistakes and keeping focused on the current shot. It’s a gentle reminder to keep things in perspective and savor the experience.

In golf, staying focused is crucial. But that doesn’t mean we have to be overly serious or tense. We’ve all seen those professional golfers who crack jokes and have a good time on the course. It’s the perfect balance of concentration and relaxation. So, why not bring that same spirit to our own games? We can share a laugh with our friends, enjoy the scenery, and maintain a positive mindset. After all, the more relaxed and joyful we are, the better we play.

Now, let’s talk about track and cross-country coaches. My coaches know how to foster a team environment while keeping the fun alive. They understand that flexibility is critical. So, guess what? Sometimes, instead of following a typical running routine, our coaches surprise us with runs to 7-11! Yes, you heard it right. Picture a bunch of energetic teens running together, having a blast, and treating themselves to a well-deserved Slurpee or snack. It’s these little adventures that make the sport even more enjoyable.

As a teenager who loves golf and running, sports have taught me valuable life lessons. It’s not just about swinging a club and hitting a ball—or crossing the finish line strong; it’s about embracing challenges, fostering teamwork, and finding joy in every round and race. So, remember to have fun, stay focused, and approach the game with a sense of adventure.

Keep swinging and smiling!
