From Challenge to Triumph: MPGA’s Inspiring Journey

Hey there, I'm the guy behind MPGA. My journey to this point? Well, it's been quite a ride. I was a young golfer, all fired up with dreams of the PGA Tour. That dream took a serious hit when I lost my Division 1 scholarship. I was in a downward spiral. 

I hit the gym, worked on the swing, but nothing clicked. In competitions, my mind was my own worst enemy, filled with doubts and fears. Have you ever felt like no matter how hard you try, something just keeps holding you back? That was me.

Then, sport psychology entered my life. It was a game-changer. Realizing that my battle wasn't really with my swing, but with my thoughts and emotions, was a lightbulb moment. I started applying these mental strategies, and guess what? Things began to turn around, not just for me, but for others I shared these techniques with.

I dove headfirst into learning – got my master's and doctorate in sport and clinical psychology. As a professor in California, helping others tap into their mental game became my passion. Fast forward 25 years, and here we are. MPGA was born from my experiences and is proven to help golfers tackle their mental game head-on.

So, why am I telling you all this? Because I believe these mental skills are essential in today's game. And I want to share this with you, with coaches, with players, with anyone who's ever felt stuck like I did. Let's turn those challenges into victories, together.
