Winning a world championship is not the best part of the journey.
About this episode
Matt Murphy discusses the rewarding journey of guiding his daughter in golf, emphasizing that the experiences along the way are more fulfilling than winning a championship.
Matt Murphy is like millions of other parents in the country, just hoping to guide their kids into endeavors that will fulfill their life while providing opportunities to grow closer as a family. His older daughter also loved golf enough to work at it, and eventually won the U.S. Kids Golf World Teen Championship in 2024. But as special as that moment was (and it really was!), Matt talks to The Mission Podcast about how the journey has been even more rewarding than the goal.
