He then delves into his career on the PGA TOUR and lessons he learned in his ascent up the world rankings.  Camilo then shares the heart-breaking story of losing his baby daughter, Mia, and the life skills he and his wife learned from that life-altering event.

Villegas talks about how he endured and passed through a significant slump in form, thanks to discipline, attitude, overcoming fear and doubt, and a change in golf-swing theory.  He caps the story by revisiting his victory in the 2023 Butterfield Bermuda Championship.  

Thoughout the conversation Camilo weaves in lessons and insights to help golfers improve their health and their golf.  He shares his daily routine in terms of nutrition, hydration and practice.  He also talks about managing stress, the psychology of sports and golf, fitness and resistance training for the golf swing, and beating the "demons of bad play" by taking consistent small, incremental steps towards your goal.
