Man, I just wanna extend a big hug and say that you’re a wonderful human being. You’re also one of the best disc golfers in the world. That doesn’t come easy or as a given. It takes determination, practice and spirit. The mental game is as important as the physical. You have to believe that you’re the best even if your body wispers otherwise. That’s the gig - and a little love from your supporters hopefully helps… Hence, big hugs from Sweden - having you on our soil was a pleasure!

Dealing with expectations is hard. Don't let external things or people get to you. Goggins is right: nobody cares. Find enjoyment playing the game by yourself again. Maybe take a break from social media as a whole. If it breaks contract, have someone else do it. I see a monster coming. Eagle, you have not hit your prime yet. Let's go!

Even a dream job like being a professional disc golfer still is a job at some point. You can't expect yourself to "have fun" all the time, but you also have to balance the pressure you place on yourself. All thing you said in this video that make tons of sense. Thanks for including us on your journey rather than going into a shell and bottling it up.

Hi Eagle! First and foremost, I was so in awe to meet you! I have been a fan for a long time (6years), and seeing you and get discs signed and you playing the course Ale where I started playing discgolf, was a dream come true. I think you're definitely on to something on controlling what you're able to control - remember, controlling/understanding your mind and emotions is a skill, just like discgolf and it takes practice and determination to get to a good place. I believe you've covered a great deal already in your perception and understanding. With more practice and you'll become the master of your own mind. Quick question, do you meditate at all? It helps to understand your mind is not you - you can decide what you want to enact upon - and mediation helps a great deal with this, understanding that you have the power to step away and observe. I admire you so much so would be great to give something back. Hope you have a great time in Denmark and later Norway, and say hi from me to Pat we got to talk a bit during the week! :) /Nicolas

As a mental health professional, you are saying a lot of great stuff and it sounds like you have a solid coach! Keep up the work! Cheering for you on this journey

Thank you for taking the time you did with us fans even when the round wasn't what you wanted in Borås. You made the day for me and my buddy ❤️ Best of luck on your upcoming adventures 🌞

HAHA! Learning to throw 500+ ft sounds way harder than learning to drive stick... 😜 As a professional trumpet player for over 20 years, I can testify that the body will change over time even if it's not due to injury. It's important to pay attention and maybe make some modifications from time to time if what you "were doing" no longer suits you just right. You da man dude✌

Eagle, you are a great human being! Thank you for being honest and sharing about what you are going through with serenity and a smile. Very inspiring! There are no problems, only challenges and solving these challenges can be tough but this is an opportunity to learn further about yourself and come out stronger 🐦‍🔥❤

You gotta love and appreciate the transparency on this channel! Thanks, Eagle!

Speaking of Goggins, I absolutely love this short quote of his on the topic of conforming when trying to self-improve: "We want to be the best among average people".

Have you read the book "golf is not a game of perfect"? Also could you give some recommendations for the books you are reading. Really appreciate this channel and letting us into the world of Eagle. Also not all heros wear capes, right Pat McMahon?

Thanks for the updates!

You seem so much happier in this video 🤗

Love you eagle❤ Your my boy!

Hey Eagle. Hope you enjoy your European tour. I know you will. To be honest, the highly wooded coarser have never been your strong suit. And in my opinion there is some luck involved playing them. I will never forget your win against McBeast. That was an epic battle. WOW. You have history at the European Open. You will play well there this year!

Life changes are hard. Sounds like you have great people around you. I'm sending you good vibes and I know you'll get through this!

Just remember brother the most common injury is re-injury so take your time to heal fully before you try to get out there and rip em. We want you back but not at risk bud!!!

Thanks for putting that really nice hat on

Hey! I watched that Ale practice round video and that was so fun to watch!! Hope you have an amazing time in Copenhagen!! I'll be watching the Euro World Cup for soccer. All the best! P.S. That thumbnail is legendary! xD

I love your KZread channel and love watching you play disc golf! I am rooting for your KZread channel to grow and I love to see your practice round videos in whatever your favorite format is! If I had all the money in the world and a huge fan base, I'd love nothing more than to record practice round videos of me playing rounds at beautiful courses (pro tour and non pro tour) and focus on a KZread channel for those videos. Kind of like what Ezra Aderhold does!

Like number 207 😎 my birthday is 2/07/90 I was born at 207 in the afternoon and weighed in at 7lbs 2oz

Chowda! haha. I'm the same way about not letting other influences in...that being said, Ive noticed that the closer my walk is w/ God the more things tend to fall right into place and it's also given me a way more positive outlook overall. There is always something good that comes from the bad....and a lot less bad these days!

Eagle, so much love and support on the journey. If I were to give you one itty little piece of advice in the mindset department, it would be to focus on the gratitude. What a gift it is to be able bodied, to be able to share your passion and joy of this game with the world. And knowing that people will remember how they felt when around you. I love how generous of spirit you are when with your friends and family. Wouldnt it be wonderful to feel that same joy on the course. As a fan I just want to see you fully enjoying yourself (that where the flow state lies).... sometimes we gotta fake it till we make it. all the love on the journey,

Great advice. Gratitude brings peace of mind and love in my opinion.

Feed into the crow. Get ANGRY! (and release a new special edition evil eagle crow dimension in proton plastic)

What are you doing in Copenhagen ? :)

Embracing is like embodying. Become and overcome as everyone has forever.

I want to say about your arm that knowing your capabilities is like faith. You trust the result even if you haven't seen it. Your arm could be stronger than before, but you just don't feel it yet. You could be on the verge of victory and not know.

It's very easy to be disappointed and get frustrated when you know how good you can play. I get very frustrated when in practice I dial up a park job or hit basket. Then actually play a real round and unlucky bounce or I just wasn't fluid and screw up. At least you aren't cussing freaking out like a few pros when they play poorly. You are still figuring out how much torque and reps that shoulder can handle. By next year it will be stronger than ever. I've had surgery on both mine from dislocations. Not fun. I know a tiny bit of my power was lost but looking back and new form I actually throw further so not sure. Mental part of the game is the hardest. Traveling and disc golfing sounds fun but can also be grueling to drive long distances all the time. I'm a school bus driver and driving is hard on the shoulders on long runs. Keep your head up. Keep rocking. I can see your frustrations but they are going to be what makes the next win so much more special.

Do you mean ob on left side along the stone wall on hole 4 that shouldn’t be ob? 😊

Keep working man you’re doing great. As a physical therapist myself, I can say with respect to the fine motor control that is going to continue to take time to develop but your motor patterns are still stored in your spinal cord, your peripheral nerves and muscles have to relearn the pattern. It’ll come, before you know it, it’ll will become second nature again

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

You will find a routine that works for you, just have to give it some time.

no crow in kro-khol 🙏 best of luck Eagle

Go smash a ton of C tiers!

Missing you in Des Moines. Maybe 2025????

What were the expectations of yourself before you won the European open with no side arm? Everyone needs a near death experience or the near death experience of somebody they love to get perspective on life. Put things into perspective.

So scary

Love the Content Eagle, but why does it always sound like you have mucus in your throat? Can you clear it?

You probably won't read this and even if you do, probably won't take it seriously, but you could maybe stop analyzing everything you do, stop consuming content online, stop creating content online, not forever, just temporarily.. and see if you feel any better about what you're doing and where you are at. Leave your phone and labtop or whatever at wherever you are staying and just experience life as if the internet and cell phones don't exist. This may be conspiratorial thinking, but all the added frequencies around us everyday probably have some sort of effect on us and how we think and behave. It's worth a shot.

Do not show your buttons of frustration to the course for it to natively push. Instead, may your own blameless defense be greater than even that of the course.

This guy needs to talk to someone and mental help is nothing to be ashamed of.
