One of the biggest mistakes parents and players make, at any level, is thinking the answer is more. A new drill. A new green reading method. A new training aid. A new club. A new voice. They believe something new will magically transform the game. Usually, it doesn’t. What matters is belief, a growth mindset, hard work, getting a little better every day. On the most important skills. The basics. The best players and parents simplify. Especially with younger players, too much technical instruction and too many voices in the mix is a recipe for disaster. Let them have fun. Let them explore. Let them take ownership. Let them fail. Let them learn. They need to be grounded in fundamentals, not overwhelmed by noise.
