Description

“Grit” is one of those buzzwords people throw around a lot. 
And it can be hard to define!
But you know it when you see it – and you can certainly see it in Mike McCoy. 
This upcoming weekend, Mike has the honor of captaining the U.S. team at the Walker Cup as our top amateurs compete against Great Britain and Ireland at St. Andrews’ legendary Old Course.
Mike is one of the world’s top amateur golfers, and he has been for decades. He even earned a coveted amateur spot at the 2014 Masters. And he’s done it all while also building a successful career as an insurance executive!
That level of achievement in BOTH areas doesn’t just happen. It takes an elite mentality, a big commitment, and a willingness to do the hard stuff.
In other words, it takes grit.
In this conversation, you’ll see what grit really looks like and why there is just no substitute for it when it comes to your success.
You’ll also learn:

Why to prioritize training and preparation for your team

The competitive advantage a lot of people shy away from 

One practical way to help your team deal with setbacks

What it’s like playing the Masters as an amateur
