Excellence

Excellence

My all-time favorite quote is from Aristotle: “We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.” Sometimes, however, to reach new heights we need new habits.

As one of the world’s greatest golfers, Tiger Woods underwent an extensive swing change when he was already ranked number one in the sport. While Tiger struggled through the process, he would emerge as the greatest that ever played. Tiger would go on to a record-setting season, where he would win three consecutive majors, nine PGA Tour events, and set or tie 27 Tour records - and that was just the beginning. Tiger’s decision to modify his swing, at the top of his game, enabled him to be outstanding.
