  • Pressure is a Privilege: Jarrett Fultz on Golf, Grit, and Gratitude
    Aug 19 2025

    Jarrett Fultz brings heart, energy, and perspective to this episode as he shares his experience navigating the game of golf with cerebral palsy. Now a coach at Southern Virginia University—his alma mater—Jarrett reflects on adapting his swing through countless grip adjustments and mental strategies to stay locked in under pressure.

    For Jarrett, “pressure is a privilege,” a mindset that fuels both his game and his coaching. He emphasizes the value of external focus-- like visualizing a landing zone or targeting specific parts of the hole, to stay present and intentional with every swing. His guiding question: What would I tell my players right now?

    Jarrett's deep love for the game, gratitude for the opportunity to keep competing, and belief that golf is for everyonemake his story one of resilience and inspiration. With another tournament in Florida on the horizon, he reminds us that nothing beats hard work—and if you truly want to be part of the game, golf will find a way to welcome you in.
