Shownotes

This week we are in conversation with Jack Grimmer, Captain of Wycombe Wanderers Football Club and also formerly of Aberdeen, Fulham and Coventry City. 

Having played his sport at the highest level and against some of the biggest names in the sport - such as Gareth Bale and Didier Drogba - Jack joins us to tell us all about how Golf helps him to decompress and relax outside of Professional Football, as well as offering a means of catching up with teammates and friends, old and new, in a relaxed (though sometimes competitive!) setting. 

Jack also talks to us about:

❤️ Fond memories of growing up in Aberdeen and being introduced to Golf by his Grandmother  

⛳️ How he finds the Scramble format to be a perfect option for Golfers of all abilities 

🧠 Mental Health in Sport - how Jack sees a younger generation of footballer changing the game when it comes to opening up and seeking support 

📊 Trusting the process - the importance of having process goals, which support outcome goals (both in Golf and Football)

⚽️ Football Fourball - Who are Jack‘s football idols, who he’d like to play Golf with?
