“Over the course of my playing and professional career in golf, I have been fortunate to see the ups and downs of an extremely difficult sport. I feel I can bring my positive experiences as well as the negative ones to the Alpha Zone Sports Performance Team.
I truly believe an athlete can learn and benefit more than they realize from the hardest days in their sport. I hope to be able to do this by sharing my personal experiences I have had over the course of my career and by emphasizing what a true blessing it is for these individuals to have these opportunities. As we all know, the longevity of an athlete does not last forever; and it is important to relay the message to all athletes to have fun, enjoy the journey, and embrace the opportunities they are given along the way. I look forward to helping everyone along their journey.”
