Fairways to Fortune | Preparation Changes Everything

from Office Hours with David Meltzer

In today’s episode, Virgil Herring and I discuss how preparation, resilience, and a dependable process help athletes perform under extraordinary pressure. Virgil shares how Brandt Snedeker overcame early struggles at the Masters by releasing his expectations and trusting the skills he had already developed. We also reflect on the personal challenges faced by Tiger Woods and John Daly, including addiction, accountability, vulnerability, and the importance of having people willing to speak honestly. Virgil explains how he prepares amateur golfers for the sport’s biggest stage by reminding them that the environment may change, but the shot remains the same. Preparation transforms fear into excitement and allows talent to take over.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
