Wise reflections from @MikeGrevlos Sitting well with reasonable discomfort is game changing.
So much of sport psychology and mental game advice I see in the sport of golf seems so focused on the goal of reducing uncomfortable feelings. - Reduce expectations so you don’t feel bad when they are not realized. - Don’t have a goal of making a putt; you could miss it and feel disappointed. - Don’t care about the outcome; you could get too nervous. - Accept the result before the shot so you won’t be angry or frustrated. - Turn the game into a math algorithm so you don’t have to exert effort making a decision. And on and on… I just don’t think this is the approach that leads to greatness, or anyone’s greatest.

Acceptance is a game changer. “Willing” to lose not “wanting” is a subtle distinction here. It’s freeing, reasonable, and high performing. (Not sure the second sentence as phrased holds as much weight. A bit macho and dramatic. Drama quotes well, but often performs avg)
We must be willing to roll the dice and lose. Prepare, at the end of the day, for none of it to work.

Columbus got high character coming its way.
Lost in all this is Jordan Harris, who is headed to Columbus in the Laine deal. From our first chat over 4 years ago, Jordan was a really grounded and generous person with his time. He was a professional well before he signed his first NHL contract. Wishing him the best in CLB.
