PLAYER PERFORMANCE

I am the youngest of three sons, born and raised in Arizona. Having older brothers meant always playing and competing against a bigger, faster, and stronger opponent, so I was naturally an outstanding athlete  among my peers.  At age 11, I started playing competitive golf and, right  from the start, I was fully committed.  Being born and raised in Arizona, the weather allowed me to often times play seven days a week, and always year round.

Unlike other sports, golf places complete responsibility on the individual, and scoring as a team presents even more pressure for a top player.  Every thought, every decision and outcome, is on me. It's this accountability that I enjoy most about the game, and what continues to motivate me to improve. Each round presents a new challenge-each course, condition, and situation demands focus, discipline and adaptability.  The constant pursuit of improvement drives my passion for golf. 

Looking beyond college, my long-term goal is to become a high-level golf instructor working with elite juniors and tour professionals, with a strong emphasis on the mental side of the game. I believe the mental aspect is what separates good players from great ones. It is an area I am deeply interested in developing within myself, and for others. Competing in college golf would be a critical step in my journey, exposing me to college competition, the next stage of player development, and building credibility and trust with the team.
