152. Revisiting Tournament Play 15 Years Later with Justin Klemballa

T-Time with Tori Totlis

I’m back with golf coach Justin Klambala, who's making his return to competitive golf after a hiatus since 2009. With his signature energy and passion for the sport that we’ve all come to know and love, he’s here to tell us all about his comeback and the lessons he’s learned along the way!

Justin kicks things off talking about the differences between outcome goals and process goals, and why our long-term success in any endeavor–golf or otherwise–depends on making more of the latter.

Drawing from his personal experience, Justin illustrates why keeping your focus on the present moment during tournament play is one of the best things you can do, and why obsessively checking your score ultimately makes little difference on your ability to win!

“All I can do is try to hit great shots,” Justin says. “If I do that, I’m stacking the odds in my favor and do my best. If my best beats everybody else that day, I win. If it doesn’t, it doesn’t!”

Finally, Justin shares why being your own cheerleader is a game-changer for building confidence, the self-talk secret that separates great golfers from average golfers, and his career goals moving forward.
