7/29/25: Scottie Scheffler's Message on Youth Sports, How to Handle Getting Cut, Pre Game Rituals
👏 What No. 1-ranked Golfer Scottie Scheffler taught us about Youth Sports
The Perfect Athlete Development Model?
[LINK] Scottie Scheffler isn’t just winning—he’s redefining what dominance in the sport looks like. Four major championships. Seventeen PGA Tour wins. Nearly 150 consecutive weeks ranked World No. 1. His composure, consistency and work ethic are the envy of every athlete development model.
And yet, his comments before the British Open might be the most meaningful thing he’s contributed to the sport—or any sport.
Here are a couple of the gems:
“Why do I want to win this tournament so bad? That’s something I wrestle with on a daily basis. Because if I win, it’s going to be awesome for about two minutes, and then we’re going to get to next week.”
“If my golf ever started affecting my home life or the relationship I have with my wife or son, that would be the last day I play. I would much rather be a great father than a great golfer. That, at the end of the day, that’s what’s more important to me.”
Asia Mape unpacks Scheffler’s remarkable remarks and gets into what it teaches us about youth sports.
