Summary

Merry Christmas, and welcome back to another episode of Better Than I Found It. As as the Baylor Golf Team and the McGraw family take time to celebrate the holidays, Coach McGraw uses the moment to highlight the importance of recruiting and coaching players who show great character. In this episodes Coach McGraw shares stories that demonstrate how his prioritization of recruiting players with high character, not just talent, led to the success of both the team and the individual. These stories range from his early coaching days at Edmond High School to his most recent All-American, and noted 2024 points leader on the Korn-Ferry Tour, Johnny Keefer. Character has always been a focal point of McGraw's coaching philosophy, and I hope you can understand why after listening to this podcast. Subscribe to the podcast for future episodes.

Limitless Living - Co-Creator Network Judith Albright Over the course of my life I have experienced various dry spells and have found it necessary to re-invent myself several times. When I was younger I naively thought that life progressed in a straightforward linearly fashion. I once believed that, just like wine, relationships only got better with age; each job would be better and pay more money than the last; I had all the time in the world, and my life was orderly and under control. But life had different ideas. Isn't that what John Lennon said? Life is what happens to you while you are busy making other plans. At some point my life starting taking all sorts of interesting twists and turns, certainly not in a straight line or all of them forward, and my concept of being in control went right out the window. More than once I have had to ask myself, Now what?It was not until recent years that I finally found my true calling and became trained for the work I do today.
