WPT Moment of the Day
Date: 6/22/2012 Location: The Office
Was texting with a co-worker about whether or not he was going to respond to an RFQ we received. The deadline for submitting was about 2 hours away and it was a pretty simple 5-figure deal. The co-worker said, “I never win these so I don’t get my hopes up…I think i’ll let it slide.”
My reply:”You lose 100% of the bids you...
WPT: MLB Edition
“You just have to take a deep breath,” Hill said. “It’s something you can easily get excited about and try to do a little too much. It’s something where, you’ve been here before, just get up there, see some pitches and put a good swing on it.”

WPT Moment of the Day
Date: 6/15/2012 Location: Shower
Friday morning….7 am. Tired. Went out for a couple post-work cocktails. Nothing crazy. Just got to bed later than I normally would. So, sure, I’m a little groggy. I go through the normal motions. Splash a little water on my face (lukewarm, of course, because who the hell wants to get doused with freezing cold water right when they wake up?). Brush my teeth....
Chapter 12: Don't like the weather? Wait 5...
The weather changes, so does success. Your mentality doesn’t have to. A tremendous line of thinking is to link your success at the task at hand with the current state of the weather. When a person is able to step outside of their current state of mind and into a much grander picture, it makes things seem simple and easy. Equating your performance to a bigger picture always...
Chapter 2: Don't Be an Asshole
Here’s the thing, ‘Why Putt Twice’ is not a case study in how to become a pompous dick hole and alienate all of your friends and potential relationships. If that’s how you’ve been interpreting it, brah, then you’re doing it wrong.
The point of WPT is to improve your ability to think positively and excel in opportunities that arise in each moment. Our friends...
Chapter 25: The Wave is Coming
You’re shooting 2 for 15 on jumpers in one-on-one basketball. Or you may have had one too many drinks and now you’re struggling to perform for your lady. Close your eyes, take a deep breath and tell yourself, “The Wave is Coming.” It’s called the mean for a reason. You’re about to get “mean.” The law of averages is a law. It will even itself out and...
Chapter 9: 'Na me dogg
Used as both a phrase and a mentality “‘Na Me Dogg” can be invoked when the task at hand results in a failure right after you talk trash about how confident you were about the success of said task. Similar to reverse psychology, this mindset needs to be used when, inevitably, you do end up putting twice…or three times.
Alternative phrases such as “Yeah that...
