Doing: feel like vs choose
Being Sixtyone is a process. Former Alabama football coach, Nick Saban, is recognized as one of the best coaches of all time. He has helped more players get to the NFL than any other football coach. How does he do it? He says It takes what it takes.
Process and discipline. To get certain things, you have to do certain things.
As you can see in the video above, Coach Saban believes that we basically have the answer two questions when it comes to goals and success. The first is can we make ourselves do it? The second question is can we make ourselves not do it?
When you know there is something you should be doing to reach your goals that you might not feel like doing, can you make yourself do it anyway? Likewise, when you feel like doing something you know you are not supposed to do, can you make yourself not do it? The path to reaching goals and finding success is not hidden. It is not difficult to figure out how to get to our goals. It takes what it takes. To get good grades in school, you have to study. To send a golf ball where you want it to go, you have to learn to control the clubface.
There is a process to being a Sixtyone golfer. Separating the purpose from the goal, doing the right thing whether anyone is watching or not, never judging, helping others, no drama, being on time, being curious, leaving the course better than you found it: these are not easy to do. It is hard to even remember all of it. But it is our culture. It takes what it takes.
Change. Think. Golf.
