Only, when you see progress.

Not sure if you’ve been watching the recent resurgence at Arsenal football club. But what you notice is that the fans are happy.

It might look to people on the outside that this happiness comes from liking mediocrity.

What’s really going on is we can see "progress".

In the years under "le boss", even though things seem better on results, There was a feeling that there wasn’t progress as it was the same every year.

A real-life version of Groundhog Day. Under the last manager, it seemed to be 11 men throwing the self destruct button to each other like a hot potato.

Seeing the same thing over and over again, it was true unhappiness and frustration at not seeing any progress. 

With a new manager, we can see progress, an idea that’s being formed, a plan, a blueprint...

Progress becomes an inspiration and keeps people focused rather than wanting to put your foot through the tele...

What does any of this have to do with golf? We'll my inpatient club thrower (not seen that for years but would love to witness an angry golfer launching a club at a tree) 

If we are making progress that’s when we are happy.

It doesn’t matter if your 2nd, 5th of 17th 

The progress is where vision and excitement is... 

If you can’t see any progress you lose focus and with that lack of focus lose the desire to keep going. 

But progress however small (could even be as small as not saying 'I always do that on this hole"). Then that’s where you have happiness. 

If you are currently not seeing the results you want in your golf it’s probably because you are not making progress or you are not aware of the progress you are making (if your consistent it’s more likely this) 

What’s your starting point?

Where do you want to end up?

What's the plan?

Are you making progress?

If you can see the progress you will be happy or at least inspired to keep going, 

If not, 

You will throw in the towel. 

Wanna know what we do... 

For fat loss and distance it’s the Golfmob. 

For injury, pain, anger and serious lack of focus, its Unbreakable Golfers 

What you could do next is...

1. Find a way to check you are making progress in whatever it is you are struggling with,

2. Build a plan of action,  

3. Take consistent actions on that plan until there is no more progress 

4. Build a better plan. 

If that’s golf performance it starts here...

Unbreakable Golfers Rule Number 2

"Only Compare Yourself to Yourself"

This gives you an option and focuses on growth rather than….

"The Game Of Comparison For The Weak"

(Can’t remember where I got that from, and when that happens I generally Credit either Ben Settle, Garrett J White or Paul Mort as over the years they have planted seeds in my brain that I can't stop growing) 

Anyway...

That’s when you compare yourself to those worse than you, just…

To feel better.

“At least I ain’t as bad as him”.

I used to use this in my failures

But it doesn’t help you grow, Not even a tiny bit,

Then there is the worst way to do it, comparing yourself to those better than you can be a problem too.

How?

Example... the Facebook newsfeed.

You’re grafting, working a 16-hour session and struggling, still waiting for a client to pay you.

You see a Facebook post, of someone on holiday with their kids, you may feel guilty that you’ve been working so hard and not seen yours.

The fact is by using Rule 2

"Only Comparing Yourself To Yourself"

You can control the game.

You have a gauge of "Did I Improve On Yesterday"

If not, "Can I Be Better Tomorrow".

This puts you firmly in control of your goals, targets and outcomes and...

Stops you blaming others.

If its someone else's fault (Another Unbreakable Rule), you can't do anything about it can you, but….

If YOU are in control, YOU can fix it, 

You do that by trying to be better than yesterday, last week, last month, last year

Consistently improving.

If you play against yourself (instead of with yourself) you can actually grow.

So stop beating yourself up and just...

Beat yourself. (Get your mind out of the gutter)

We are all trying to either get better at Golf, 

Fitness, 

Business,

Health and be better at staying calm under pressure while keeping a smile on our faces and you can do that by keeping score.

Golf Wank'a

A friend of mine who is a golfer,

Has this theory that if you don't like golf you’re probably a fisherman. 

In his words, if you're not a "golf wanka" you're definitely a "fishing wanka"

It got me thinking what is it about golf that the fisherman I know hate so much.

Let's be clear, there probably are fellas that happily do both but,

They're probably single and don't have kids because who has the time to do both.

In my opinion, why would you go fishing on a nice sunny day if you could play golf?

Any of my pal's that hate golf are ALL fishermen.

So what is it about fishing that they can’t get from golf.

Is it, sitting rather than walking?

The fact that a good day is one that makes your hands stink of fish.

Is it the lack of camouflage golf equipment.

With that being said Would you join a fitness program called The FishMob?

What about Unbreakable Fisherman?

I’d like to write the sales copy for that

"Learn to get more power out of your rod in 28 days"

"Let me show you a mindset technique not to get overwhelmed by the slightest wiggle of the sensitive end of your rod"

Let's be clear.

What we do can work for anybody who takes action and is not a quitter, but its main focus is male golfers with kids who run their own businesses. 

WHY?

Because that's who I am,

I know the struggle of working dog sh*t hours to hit deadlines,

The constant thinking about business even when you are not thinking about business,

The guilt of working too hard and being away from your family for far too long.

I built the GolfMob and Unbreakable Golfers because...

I'm a golf wanka and proud of it.

If you're a golf wanka, then the Unbreakable Golfers Online might be for you when it's ready.

Unbreakable Golfers Rule Number 4

Above all else, it’s consistency that wins.

Want more consistency?

Consistency comes from habit.

Making something so set in stone that it becomes your behaviour. And guess what,

Your behaviour dictates your results...

So all you really need to do is be more consistent than your competition.

"Surely it can't be that simple"?

Of course it can, if you're consistent, that consistency breeds that magical potion called confidence. The definition of confidence is "the feeling or belief that one can have faith in or rely on someone or something".

So you can’t even see it.

Look at golf...

One of the biggest things golfers say is they wish they could just be more consistent.

While not consistently working one thing until it becomes a habit that they can have faith in and believe in.

The is one thing I currently have faith in and that is that it will piss down whenever I go back to England.

Seriously, if you have a few consecutive days of rain you can guarantee I've paid a visit home.

joking aside, if you want to get better at something or get better results from something then be consistent at it.

Most people won't bother, as it's just too easy for them to find a reason why it can't be done.

Take the fella that wants to lose weight but REFUSES to consistently track what they eat, which would give him the habit to not only know what’s in the food but, also how some foods give him the power to produce and others the tiredness to want to rip someones head off.

If you pick something that you can be consistent at YOU will get better and eventually get where you want to go.

Being consistent is hard but also simple.

I don't always want to write every day, some days I can't be bothered but...

Every day that I do write and send out content it ADDS to my consistency and, the more consistent we are the more we WANT to continue to be consistent at that thing. Funny that.

I remember playing in the “5 club” comps and it was a killer for me.

I'd end up playing a golfer well over 60 and getting beat every time because they were CONSISTENTLY never in trouble.

And for me in golf, like my school years, it's inevitable that at some point I will end up in trouble.

Pick something today and plan to do it for the next 28 days (some research say 6 weeks but let's keep it simple)

Stick at it for 28 days then check your results at the end.

YOU will surprise yourself more than any magic pill or new fad or top of the mountain advice.

Little note, make it simple or you will give up...

If you want a complete blueprint to build new habits, break old beliefs then you might be a good fit for Unbreakable Golfers Online, However...

1) The online version is far from being ready.

2) If you’re a quitter this is not for you, and most importantly

3) It will require you to get out of that comfort zone that keeps you trapped like a self-made prison of stories, habits, and behaviours.

If you wanna know more when the online version is released you will need to be on the list.

You can do that here.

Who Am BM I

The BMI scale does take some heat but we gotta remember it’s just an indicator.

It’s an indicator of potential health risks and illnesses.

Like not wearing a seatbelt, in the way that it doesn’t mean you’re going to be "in" a car accident.

Having a high or low BMI doesn’t mean you’re definitely going to be ill or have health issues.

However like not wearing a seatbelt if you do smash into another motor the chances of you being OK are worse. 

Same with your BMI, if you do have health issues, they can be more likely regardless of where they might come from. It could come from:

your family, 

your environment, 

or in your job,

Most people only know their BMI when they calculate it on some sort of system like the ones in the gym or even when they used the yoga thing on the Nintendo Wii.

But it’s a simple calculation, you take your weight in kilograms, divide that by your height in meters, and with that answer, divide by your height in meters again.

To maintain a healthy weight, it's recommended to have roughly a BMI of 20 to 25.

Being outside these markers either too high or too low does increase your chances of health and illness issues.

Just being aware of this allows you to make better choices and set better targets because of the long-term goals of trying to be more healthy. 

But no one “really” wants to be healthy do they. 

They say they do but they don't unless something happens, the "full English" hits the fan and, they realise they have to change something lively. 

This is why setting targets that matters to you is the only way you will have any change, whether it be in your body,

your golf 

in how calm or how stressed you are 

or the way you want to change the way you live.

Set targets that you actually care about, and if you can set them based on not only moving towards pleasure i.e. a better outcome,

But also moving away from pain or a crash without a seatbelt on.

Have a measurement, a baseline that tells you how far you are out of it, gives you the ability to get leverage on yourself to take the actions you need and get the results you want. 

A healthy marker for the body in regards to health is BMI

A healthy marker for the body in regards to the golf swing is the TPI screen

Get screened, know your markers, get leverage on yourself and take the actions you need to become better tomorrow than you are today...
