Wink's Words
Do you have the 'I Win' or 'We Win' mentality? When Tiger Woods won the Masters after an 11 year major tournament victory, he didn't tell his caddy, "I won". He jumped for joy as he screamed, "WE WON!!!". Remember this. We never really win anything for ourselves. People are helping us along the way, either with their encouragement, their advice, or even by sharing their expertise with us. The next time you win, who will share your victory with?
In a sport that’s individualized like golf, @TigerWoods telling his caddy “WE DID IT!” Not “I did it”.
“I Guys” don’t win. Simple as that. pic.twitter.com/SBOef78oAS— John LaCorte (@CoachLaCorte) April 15, 2019
