Episode notes
In one of the most unexpectedly honest press conferences we’ve ever seen from a pro athlete, world No. 1 golfer Scottie Scheffler opened up about something far deeper than golf—his purpose, identity, and what truly matters.
In this episode, we unpack the Athletic article that captured Scheffler’s unfiltered reflection after his U.S. Open win, including his admission that winning—while incredible—isn’t ultimately fulfilling. We discuss the powerful mindset behind not tying your worth to performance, what it means to question success while you’re still on top, and why that’s exactly what makes Scheffler a mental giant.
Whether you're an athlete, parent, coach, or high performer, this conversation will challenge the way you think about success, legacy, and the real reasons we chase big goals.
