Yesterday was a special day. It was my dad's 94th birthday. It was also the day Jon Rahm won the Augusta Masters golf championship. Made even more special because my dad and I have lived in Georgia, USA where it was being played, and because Jon Rahm's late Spanish hero golfer, Seve Ballesteros, would have also shared the same birthday with my dad (9th April).

Jon Rahm is one of the most talented golfers in the world. He has won 13 professional tournaments, including the 2021 U.S. Open. But what are the traits that have made him so successful and how can you learn from them?

One of Rahm's greatest strengths is his mental toughness. He is able to stay calm under pressure and focus on the task at hand. This was evident in his victories at the U.S. Open 2021, and Augusta Masters 2023, when he held off a strong field of players on difficult course conditions.

Rahm is also a very talented ball-striker. He has a long, accurate drive and a great short game. This allows him to score well on a variety of courses.

Finally, Rahm is a very determined player. He always wants to win, and he is willing to put in the hard work necessary to achieve his goals. This is evident in his practice habits and his preparation for tournaments.

These are just some of the traits that have made Jon Rahm one of the best golfers in the world. If he can continue to develop his game and stay healthy, he has the potential to win many more tournaments in the years to come.

Here are some additional details about each of these traits:

Mental toughness:
Rahm has a very strong mental game. He is able to stay calm under pressure and focus on the task at hand. This was evident in his victory at the U.S. Open, when he held off a strong field of players on a difficult course. The above video demonstrates that he is also able to do what many people are not willing to do. To change. He knew that his anger issues were a problem and he went about seeing a therapist and finding a way forward which would make him a better player. He also has shown that even when he was beaten last year by Scottie Scheffler in the 2022 Augusta Masters he did not give up. He came back better than ever in 2023 and won it! If that's not an example of outstanding mental toughness, then what is?

Ball-striking:
Rahm is a very talented ball-striker. He has a long, accurate drive and a great short game. This allows him to score well on a variety of courses. The question many ask about this trait is, is this a natural inherent skill or is it something that you learn through hard work. I think there is a mixture of both. So whatever you want to be good at, note that you must have some natural ability mixed with the dedication to learn as much as you can to get the best out of that natural ability.

Determination:
Rahm is a very determined player. He always wants to win, and he is willing to put in the hard work necessary to achieve his goals. This is evident in his practice habits and his preparation for tournaments. Rahm also knows the secret fuel to use to help drive his determination. That secret fuel is to use as many powerful emotions as possible to energize and drive him to achieve his goals. Besides wanting to achieve greatness to support and enhance his family life, he also used the emotion of one of his golf heroes, Seve Ballesteros, who died of brain cancer on 7 May 2011, aged 54. The determination to win the Augusta Masters on Seve's birthday, 40 years after Seve himself won it, made Rahm unstoppable. If you too can find your rocket fuel to keep you determined in achieving your goals you will also become unstoppable.

To summarize all these traits, as a true champion, Rahm comntinues to show a great work ethic and a positive attitude. He is always looking to improve his game, and he is never satisfied with his current level of success. This drive and determination will continue to help him achieve great things in the future.
