RecruitPKB: Learning From the Process
One of the tougher parts about advising young girls through the college recruiting process (and even college grads who come back to me for advice on internships and job interviews) is the rejection and disappointment of not being recruited or offered a scholarship or position on the team.

RecruitPKB: Trying Out Competitive Golf Again
For those who may follow my social media (@bjacksongolf) you probably saw that I decided to play some competitive golf again for the first time in almost 8 years.

PerformPKB: Train Slow to Swing Fast
*As seen in GOLFWRX* You are probably reading this article because the title made zero sense to you when you read it. You are probably thinking, “Slow training makes me go fast?
