Book Description

In Only One Shot, V. J. Trolio, one of the world's foremost experts on coaching and developing junior golfers, presents his proven process to create a disciplined, structured, and loving environment for junior golfers and prepare them for success. Junior golfers, striving to fulfill dreams while dealing with a gamut of emotions and stresses, benefit from such a supportive atmosphere that only parents can provide. Only One Shot, a thorough guide to parenting junior golfers, arms parents with the tools and information needed so that their child's dreams do not "melt into the sea." As V. J. Trolio says, "While winning is an outcome we all strive for, the process of preparation is the key to unlocking potential." In other words, parents have "Only One Shot" to: Promote a growth mind-set among young adults pursuing the game of golf. Give junior golfers the tools of success in a fun, disciplined, defined, and caring golf culture. Promote strong minds and prepare junior golfers for the enjoyment of competitive golf and life. As young golfers walk the fairways and build dreams of becoming college (or even professional) golfers, it is important for a parent or caregiver to be the educated "tribal elder." Although PGA Professionals win awards and accolades for their ability to teach golf, they are a small part of the coaching team. Parents are the most important part of the team. Going into youth athletics without education on the emotional IQ needed has damaged many a relationship between a parent and child, and Only One Shot provides tools and tips to prevent that. More than a manual--it is a thoughtful and philosophical guide to life and the game of golf that whole families will benefit from. With Inspiring Insight from the untold story of Jim Gallagher Jr.
