Have you ever found yourself trying to be someone that you aren't? Have you ever wanted to be more comfortable just being...you?
Today we get to spend time with someone who is very comfortable in his own shoes and will help you understand how to feel the same way. He is Jason Ballard, the Director of Golf at Oak Hill Country Club in Rochester, New York.
In our time with Jason we will discuss:
- How a random act of kindness ignited his passion for golf and led him towards a career in the game.
- How an early mentor challenged Jason with all the reasons he should NOT want to be a golf professional and why Jason decided to continue on.
- What Oak Hill University is and how you can begin a similar educational program within your own team.
- How to properly prepare for a dream job interview.
- How the book 'Die With Zero' impacted Jason.
- How to negotiate for the things most important to you when you receive your first big job offer.
- Jason's advice for the next generation of golf professionals.
