(00:01) College Golfers' Dreams of Going Pro This chapter explores the vibrant world of college golf and the challenges faced by aspiring professional golfers. We share insights on the NCAA basketball tournament's excitement and touch on the rising visibility of college golf competitions. Our conversation includes reflections on working with college golfers, the rarity of those not aiming for a pro career, and the similar skill levels between Division I and Division II players. We discuss the journey of athletes like Brooke Watson, who transitioned from being a Division III champion to a successful golf coach. Importantly, we emphasize the critical factors needed to pursue a professional golfing career, such as talent, time, financial support, and a robust support system. Through hard conversations, we highlight the importance of not discouraging young golfers' dreams while addressing the realities of the professional golfing life, including the need for unwavering support from loved ones to prevent seeds of doubt from undermining their aspirations. (09:50) Pros and Cons of Turning Pro This chapter explores the contrasting paths of professional athletes and the unique challenges faced by aspiring golf professionals. We discuss how most professional athletes secure their careers by the time they graduate college, often landing lucrative contracts and endorsements. In contrast, golfers face a different reality, often struggling to secure opportunities and financial backing. We share an intriguing story of a golfer who patiently waited in a parking lot for a chance to compete, highlighting the unpredictability of the sport. Additionally, we explore the experiences of talented golfers who choose not to pursue a professional career due to a lack of desire to compete frequently, the demands of travel, or external pressure from family. This chapter offers insight into the personal and professional choices faced by athletes in the world of golf. (15:53) Practicing Under Pressure for Success This chapter explores the journey of aspiring professional athletes, emphasizing the internal drive and dedication needed to succeed. We discuss the importance of having both financial and emotional support to pursue one's dreams and the sacrifices involved. Highlighting the necessity of self-assessment and improvement, we talk about the significance of confidence in performance, and how removing stress from gameplay can enhance skills. We share practical exercises, such as playing "worst ball" golf, to help young athletes build resilience and concentration under pressure. Finally, we touch on how these strategies can prepare individuals for high-stakes situations, reminiscent of the intense moments we all imagined as children playing sports. (35:02) Intense Practice for Elite Performance This chapter explores the remarkable discipline and intensity that elite athletes bring to their training and performance. By highlighting examples from various sports, we examine how athletes like Howard Kendrick, Michael Phelps, Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, and Dennis Rodman achieve excellence through rigorous practice and a powerful drive to succeed. Their ability to harness their physical strength and mental focus allows them to perform at exceptional levels, even in different sports like golf. We discuss how this same intensity and dedication can be applied to aspiring athletes, particularly in the context of high school students aiming to play college golf. By emphasizing the difference between practicing until one gets it right versus practicing until one cannot get it wrong, we underline the importance of relentless dedication to achieving greatness. (44:06) Committing to Golf Improvement This chapter focuses on the importance of setting realistic goals and the level of commitment required to improve your golf game. We explore how aspiring to play at a higher level involves understanding the dedication and effort needed to achieve those aspirations. It's emphasized that while you don't have to aim for professional greatness, improving your performance from last year is attainable with the right mindset and approach. Practical ideas and tips are shared to help enhance your skills and enjoyment of the game. As always, we're here to support your golfing journey and encourage you to play better each time you hit the course.

He discusses the challenges of building a program quickly, the impact of bringing both his assistant coaches and key players from Division II, the importance of recruiting high-character athletes, the power of adaptability, as well as how his team's style of play has evolved based on personnel while maintaining a focus on efficiency, toughness, and attention to detail.Coach McCollum also dives into his philosophy on 'the process,' drawing from coaching legends like Nick Saban and Bill Belichick by stressing championship-level effort every day rather than fixating on wins and losses.

I came across 2 posts on X on social media that I will cover in this episode of The Athletic Scholarship Podcast.  The 1st post was about the announcement that the National Letter of Intent will be eliminated by the NCAA Division I and Division II levels.  I will give you the actual announcement and what the NLI was and how it might effect recruiting.  More news on the changes will be covered on future episodes.  The 2nd post I can across was from a Head Coach of a NAIA level baseball team.  The post said the Head Coach just wants prospective student-athletes to contact him directly and not to pay someone else to sent a mass email.

Well, welcome back to the Purple Power of the South! It had been a good 11 months or so since we last really had to consider the Cru, when they lost to Hardin-Simmons last Oct. 28, and this season was a mixed bag with UMHB's most telling game being a loss to a Top 10 NAIA team. Well, that's no longer the case as the Cru went to UW-Whitewater and came away with a lot of takeaways. Eight of them, in fact. Meanwhile, Salisbury's season just keeps getting better. As the opponents have been higher and higher ranked, the Sea Gulls have won by larger and larger margins. We talk about their win against Johns Hopkins with coach Sherm Wood on Fast Five.  Cortland avenged its last loss, Mount Union got by against John Carroll, and a number of teams played Division II opponents this year, but one team had the best performance, and who it is might surprise you. We'll whip you through the big games in Division III from this past weekend, catch up with the Bendokovic Bowl, visit the game that of course, had to end on a blocked field goal. Plus, who's getting it done in the 1? Who's pulling through in the 2? Who's prompting glee in the 3? Who's getting up off the floor in the 4? Who's looking alive in the 5? And, who's got something to fix in the 6? To see a list of all the teams talked about in this podcast, look at the list at the bottom of the post. Math Correspondent Logan Hansen talks about the three biggest playoff leverage games for Week 4, plus give a snapshot for how those top eight seeds are looking. Remember, my goodness, people, this is based on projection of how the season will play out and of course, teams with harder schedules might have a harder time making the top eight because they might not actually win all their games. We also hand out game balls to the top performers, pick out the stats of the week, and run through region by region to get some of the other stories you might have missed, such as the team which threw to 15 receivers this week. And since that didn't seem to be enough, Greg and Patrick have to pick one more region to tell one more story about on the fly. There's that and so much more in this week's podcast, so give it a listen! The D3football.com podcast is a weekly in-season podcast by Patrick Coleman and Greg Thomas, which was started in 2007. New episodes are published weekly during the season.
