Championship Teams - Boston Celtics The storied Boston Celtics won their 18th title this week. How do some teams seem to do better than others? They know how to win, expect to win, and have the desire to prepare to win. The Celtics had a good team committed to the purpose, goals, and continuous improvement toward their own true potential You always hear championship teams talk about “team chemistry”. This is key and comes back to belief, commitment, and trust. They all believed and committed to do their part. They depended on each other, held each other accountable, and when challenges arose, (a key player injury) they always had the “next man up” attitude with zero fear. Do you have a championship team? Do you and your team believe in and have a clear picture of what true potential looks like? Have you 100% committed to it? Do you trust everyone on the team? There are only a few things in your business that produce the most results. Do you and your team know what they are and are you focused on spending most of your time there? The Celtics had a bold goal, built the right team, committed to their belief, and trusted they would get there. Oh yes, and they had a good ole Indiana boy who assembled the Celtics 18th championship team. Brad Stevens, Celtics President is a former coach who focuses on a few simple fundamentals and concepts. His deals were instrumental in putting the pieces in place to get there. His competitive coaching and management style mimics a former Celtics star, and also an Indiana native, who also helped the Celtics win 3 of their championships – Larry Bird. (The same Larry Bird who scored 54 against my high school team!) So, the keys are: Belief and commitment to winning Assemble the right team Include a good ole Indiana boy 😉

I love the game of golf, but rarely watch the pros unless it's a major championship or other big events. Randomly I caught the late night re-run of yesterday's Mexico Open and I watched Jake Knapp (a PGA rookie) lose a 4 stroke lead right off the bat. Yikes. Jake only hit 2 fairways the entire final round (and if you aren't a golfer, that is NOT even good for an average player, least of all a PGA Tour player). Nobody has won a PGA event in the last 40 years only hitting 2 fairways in a final round. Jake did yesterday. Despite being out of position on most of the holes, he somehow scrambled his way around the course and gutted out par after par; battling another competitor in his group the entire way. When you are faced with adversity or you find yourself in a position where you need to perform at a high level, you have to know who you are and what you are about. Keep focused on your goals, believe in your dreams and stay determined against all odds...your hard work will pay off. Don't give up. Jake won the tournament and is now qualified for some of the year's biggest events, including The Masters this spring. 👏 "I know myself and what I'm doing, it feels like the right time." - Jake Knapp after the win. #perseverance #dreams #success #knowyourwhy #dontgiveup #knowyourself https://lnkd.in/gs9NGuZU
Knapp hangs on in Mexico, secures Masters spot

Founder of Your Business World (YBW)....... At last, a business community that works differently to help small businesses to grow
On Tuesday I played two competitions at the same time. Before the "purists" come on saying "you can't do that, that's not in the rules", we did - we allow it in our golf society, and have done for years (even though I prefer not to when I can). One was a normal golf competition - 20 players, stableford, all playing against the course, best score wins. The other, matchplay - playing against one other person, quarter final, least shots per hole wins the hole, most hole wins, wins. A bit like you see on the final day of the Ryder Cup. Which do you think I prefer? Playing the course and the field? Or playing the man? You know I'm competitive - so comment below, which format do you think I prefer?

A dry Croke Park.. The GAA is displaying a commendable example of prioritising responsible alcohol consumption over financial gain, especially in the context of their stance on alcohol consumption at sporting events. Unlike the scenarios where American football and Bruce Springsteen concerts at Croke Park allow fans to enjoy alcoholic beverages from their seats, the GAA's approach warrants attention for its forward-thinking stance on public health and safety when it comes to Irish sport. This discrepancy isn't merely about creating a double standard but underscores a deeper commitment to encouraging more responsible alcohol consumption among fans, irrespective of the event when it comes to Irish sport. What rockers or other foreign sports do is not relevant to it. Thems their rules. In not extending the permission to consume alcohol directly in the seating areas to all events, the GAA indirectly supports efforts made elsewhere, like the rugby Principality Stadium in Wales and Twickenham, to offer a more inclusive and comfortable environment for all attendees. It reflects government health policy. Irish rugby choses to ignore this The GAA's stance reflects its values. Rugby had a choice whether to accept these values and are lucky to be allowed to play at Croke Park at all
Daniel Ruddock: If American football and Bruce Springsteen fans can drink in Croke Park seats, why can’t rugby supporters?

New Post: Scottie Scheffler rips ‘silly’ PGA Tour playoff format: ‘It is what it is’ - https://lnkd.in/gznkD67V Scheffler is all but a lock to take home his first FedEx Cup — but all it takes is a bad weekend to screw it all up.And that's why the reigning Olympic gold medalist (and Masters champion) isn't too fond of the PGA Tour's current playoff format."I talked about it the last few years. I think it's silly," he says.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMScheffler knows all too well that one bad tournament can ruin it all. In both 2022 and 2023, he began the Tour Championship at East Lake at 10-under, thanks to his previous performances. But bad final rounds in both tournaments kept him from being named the FedEx Cup Champion.The Top 70 golfers are in the first leg of the playoffs. The top 50 will go to the second tournament, and the Tour Championship will host the top 30, in which the leaderboard kicks off with a strokes-based system based on everyone's performances throughout the season. In all likelihood, Scheffler will begin the tournament with a two-stroke lead at 10-under, but again, one bad weekend could cost him."Hypothetically, we get to East Lake, and my neck flares up, and it doesn't heal the way it did at The Players. I finish 30th in the FedEx Cup because I had to withdraw from the last tournament? Is that really the season-long race? No, it is what it is."TRANS GOLFER DOESN'T 'UNDERSTAND ATHLETES WHO BLAME A TRANSGENDER COMPETITOR ON THEIR OWN ATHLETIC FAILURES'"It's a fun tournament," Scheffler said. "I don't really consider it the season-long race like I think the way it's called. But you've got to figure out a way to strike a balance between it being a good TV product and it still being a season-long race. Right now, I don't know exactly how the ratings are or anything like that, but I know for a fact you can't really quite call it the season-long race when it comes down to one stroke play tournament on the same golf course each year."Rory McIlroy, a three-time FedEx Cup champ, joked that he likes the format, because it's the only way somebody can catch Scheffler in the standings. He has a nearly 2,000-point lead over Xander Schauffele (5,993 to 4,057), and more than twice as many points McIlroy has (2,545).McIlroy, though, did admit it may not be the "fairest reflection of who's been the best player of the year.""But I think at this point, we're not in for totally fair. We're in for entertainment and for trying to put on the best product we possibly can," McIlroy said.The playoffs begin on Thursday with the FedEx St. Jude Championship in Memphis at TPC Southwind.Follow Fox News Digital’s sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

GAA rule changes will forever be manipulated, so let’s strip it back. Quite simply, we have the best athletes and the best talent the game has ever seen🪄 However, risk taking has gone out the window in an era of stats. Rule changes you say? No. How about a mentality shift? Let’s actually reward attacking play, starting with a bonus points system in the Allianz League. It’s all there in front of us. Let’s put the ball back in the real players’ park: Bonus point win➡️ 5 points (3+ goals scored) Win➡️ 4 points Bonus point draw ➡️ 3 points (3+ goals scored) Draw ➡️ 2 points Bonus point defeat➡️ 1 point (within a goal of the opponent) https://t.co/6NIeTEqRdz
Is it time for a Gaelic football bonus point system to encourage teams to take a risk?

“Transforming Lives at the Speed of Sound!” .... Reduce Anxiety & Stress / Unlock Creativity & Focus / Enhance Energy, Mood & Performance / Pain Management & Recovery / Healthy Aging / Longevity / Workplace Wellness
R&A Champion Golfer of the Year …. Xander Schauffele Having played a fair amount of golf and following it intently in my younger years, it is amazing how much emphasis is placed on equipment, swing plain, practice and repetition. In fact, the golf swing may be the most analyzed functional movement in all of sport. Yet, when it comes down to it, the ability to achieve success is predicated in large part in mastering the nervous system. As legendary golfer Bobby Jones has stated, “Competitive golf is played mainly on a five-and-a-half inch course … the space between your ears.” Schauffele has been labeled as one of golf’s elite for several years now. In contention in Major Golf Tournaments many times, yet falling short of winning the prize! 🏆 His breakthrough moment came this past May as he won the PGA Championship, his first Major. Now, 2 months later, he has bagged 2 of the 4 Major Championships for 2024. He is noted for being a “flatliner” or showing little to no emotion on the course, focusing in the moment, the next shot. In golf, the two best to ever play the game, Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods had amazing resolve in which they seldom, if ever, beat themselves. Bill Belichick, arguably the greatest football coach of all time is noted for stating to his teams that more games are lost than are won. His teams went into games knowing they had that competitive edge, believing they were mentally tougher. The ability to train the brain for peak performance is available to us all. Can you think back to your breakthrough moment, be it an athletic, personal or professional challenge which resulted in the desired outcome? #XanderSchauffele #TheOpen #Golf #InnerGame #Emotions #Fear #MentalGame #LimbicSystem #Neuroplasticity #Breathwork #Interoception #Performance #Stress
