DRIVING DISTANCE: Southland Golf - Sep 2013

I am so excited to share this article with you all.  I had the honor of doing a photo shoot and share some (not all :)) of my secrets to distance and power in Southland Golf - Sep 2013.

Champions win belts this year!  I guess I've always had belt envy with those boxers...I love my ring!

Lee Brandon's Story: Champion Insights

I love the song by Garth Brooks, "Unanswered Prayers" because it allows me to put into one of my  life files the things I can't control nor understand!

 I have 3 Life files:

1.  The one that holds all the things I can understand, control and work on...TODAY!
2.  The To Do file:  My action lists and future steps I would like to control... TOMORROW!
3.  AND MY" I DONT UNDERSTAND IT" FILE...  For everything else unexplainable.

Believe it or not, this gives me a great sense of comfort knowing this file exists and that I can look back after numerous years, and re open that, "I DONT UNDERSTAND IT" FILE,  and see that it actually had great significance in forming who I am today!

For example, In 1979 I had a near death experience after falling through a plate glass window in a locker room door.  Nt only was my arm reattached, but my olympic dreams and collegiate competitive career was ended before it began.  While my peers were out dating and having fun,...I was in therapy every night trying to retrain my fingers and hand to work.  I was resentful, and had a hard time in college understanding "why me"!

One of my college professors, Dr. Albert, sat me down with his wife and said something I will never forget!  "THROW OUT THE TAPE!"  YOU MIGHT NOT EVER UNDERSTAND IT(why bad, unexplainable things happen), WHY YOU HAD THE LOSS AND NOT SOMEONE ELSE!  STOP REPLAYING THE LOSS AND TELLING THE STORY OVER AND OVER!  THROW OUT THE TAPE."  That day I created a pact with myself to put my loss behind me and file it in my "I DONT UNDERSTAND IT" FILE, and stop focusing on my loss!

Today, 33 years later, I can say that my near loss of my left arm, is one of the greatest things that happened to me.   It allows me to be a great coach, teacher, and mentor because there is not a pain I haven't felt twice or a day I didn't feel like quitting!  If you don't feel like quitting, your not trying hard enough!

I just found this link to a video someone shot when I spoke to the Physical Therapy Chapter at Oklahoma University in Tulsa to PT's, Doctors, and PT aides.

For those of you going through tough times.  Create a "I DON'T UNDERSTAND IT FILE" and throw out the negative tapes, victimized language, and create a new story.  Someday, like me, you may understand that your negative experience allowed you to become a Champion and inspire thousands with your inventions, successes, and example!

This video shares it all:  I hope you enjoy and write me to tell me your story...

SHE SWINGS LIKE A GIRL! HARD

WORLD DOMINATION THROUGH BIOMECHANICS


I hope you're doing well. It was a while ago that I had the opportunity to blog with you all.

I had the opportunity to present at the PGA Golf Tradeshow in Orlando last January, and was interviewed by but the Amazing APP Magazine: YouWorkout.

My feature piece in this latest issue, as finally been released on the Apple App Store!

Here is a link to find the magazine on iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/youworkout/id545811124?mt=8&ls=1

My feature, according to author Zoe Sophos, "Lends a great depth and balance to the magazine, which would not have been possible without your generosity and willingness to give us your time. For that, I am incredibly grateful and extend my sincerest appreciation. We are also very honored and excited to say that YouWorkout Volume 3 has recently been named to the top spot of the "What's Hot" section of the Health, Mind and Body genre on iTunes.

This is an amazing format and powerful publishing of great workout information and I am so grateful to be included in this amazing pioneering effort!

The Annual subscription is $7.99 for 4 issues, but the wisdom in its pages is well worth it.  I found it user friendly (if I can navigate is easily, I know all of you can...it's so intuitive).

*I am not affiliated with them, so I make nothing for this endorsement.  I will always promote great products for your arsenal!

With my sights set on dedicating myself to my Olympians and preparation for London Olympics last August, I had to dedicate myself to that great opportunity!

In January 2013, I had the blessing of being invited to present at the PGA Golf Show in Orlando, Florida.
Golf is such a humbling sport...It's certainly not like riding a bike!  I felt like I was starting all over again after 4 years of not hitting.
I have been blessed to be the Two-Time World Long Drive Champion, and finally decided that I love this sport soooo much that I am tossing my hat back into the arena this year in support of this great power sport!
I will be documenting my humbling process here as I reinvent my swing over "50"!  Avoiding injury is my priority as I strive for a better impact position and speed.  Stay tuned...the jury is out!

Mark your schedules for the World Championships September 18th, 2013 in Mesquite Nevada.
