What is Youth Athlete of the Year?
Learn MoreThe things I love the most about playing my sport, golf, includes the grind to be the best in every tournament, or league. I also really appreciate the slow pressure with every shot to take an upper hand on an opponent.
The person that most inpires me is Jordan Spieth. To start, Jordan Spieth has always been on of my favorite athletes ever with his immense dedication to the sport, to the humerious things he says on the golf course. I love watching him and taking notes on what separates us, and why he is a pro and I am not. When I see it, I honestly try to be like him, I see a certain outfit, pre shot routine, or even just their mentality after every shot.
In the UA junior tour, summer nationals, Gavin was making birdie after birdie and had a two shot lead over the whole field. It was a huge confidence booster for not just that tournament, but almost every tournament he plays in knowing that he can dominate like that in everything. Though he eventually steadied out my next couple rounds of nationals to come 22th place, It just helped him realize that he can play and that he does belong on the course and can fight for a victory in every event.
