- [September 2024 Newsletter – Nick Ovenden](https://joingreatlife.com/september-2024-newsletter-nick-ovenden/): How can we bottle it up and keep it forever?! As summer winds down to a close, many parents have sent their kids off to school for the first time, twelfth time, or twentieth time. As the first day of school approaches, it is one of those that comes with mixed emotions in my house. On one hand, the start of school signifies the end of summertime, less flexibility with our schedule and the impending drop in the temperature. On the other hand, we are excited to see the girls back into the rhythm of school, sports and a more regular sleep schedule! No matter what my wife and I think, schools back and my daughters are pumped! They are at the stage where they could hardly sleep as they counted down the days to get back to school. The anticipation of seeing their friends and teachers were almost more than they can handle. The build-up to the first day of school has carried so much excitement that my wife and I are bought in for the first day of school pictures and drop-off. As much as we look forward to this each year now, the first day of kindergarten was likely an unmatched morning of emotions that I wish I could have bottled up forever. I remember the morning clear as day. As I peaked my head into my daughters’ rooms to wake her up, I was met with a WIDE-EYED girl who was grinning from cheek to cheek seemingly ready to burst with excitement. Not being able to control the volume of her voice, Harper all but screamed, “Is it morning time yet?”. Before I had a chance to answer, she had jumped out of bed to put on her first day of school outfit as quickly as she could so she could be the FIRST one to school! I have been blessed to be able to experience nearly that identical situation with BOTH of my daughters. As I’m reluctantly embracing the fact that I don’t have the power to make Groundhog Day (1993 movie) a reality, I figured I would find ways to embrace and recreate these moments as often as I can.

- [May 2024 Newsletter – Nick Ovenden](https://joingreatlife.com/may-2024-newsletter-nick-ovenden/): Here turkey, turkey, turkey! My 2023 personal challenge was to get a bow and practice target shooting at least once a week for the year. In that challenge, some of my friends found out what I was doing and encouraged me to apply for an archery deer tag in the fall. I spent all summer practicing with bow, getting the gear and asking 1,000 questions to people I knew who were archery hunters. After 9 months of training and several obstacles later, I filled my tag! In the 6 months since that experience, I have periodically shot my bow as a way to be able to focus my mind and make sure I can still shoot if I decide to archery hunt this season. Not growing up around big game hunting, I know next to nothing outside of what I learned last year. About a month ago, I had another buddy bring up the spring archery turkey season coming up and invited me to go with him. Being the “experienced” hunter I now am, I applied for a tag on the spot and set the day of the hunt with him. Instead of going to work preparing for the hunt, I promptly pushed it off. The night before the hunt, I found myself running to several stores around town getting some of the essentials that a quick google search told me I needed. The next morning, as my buddy and I arrived at our spot, we were greeted by over a dozen turkey out and about. I was like a kid in a candy store. This was going to be so easy! After a few attempts of spotting and stalking, we decided we would set up a blind and call them in. As we climbed into the blind, my buddy took his call out of his pocket and proceeded to OPEN IT UP from the box. As I looked at him in disbelief, I started asking more pointed questions about him being a “turkey hunter” to which I found out he had been turkey hunting once 10 years ago. At that point all we could do was laugh at how it was the blind leading the blind and we were going to need a miracle to fill a tag. We spent the rest of the day and evening googling how to turkey hunt while sitting in the blind doing our best to call a turkey in. Needless to say, the only picture of me with a turkey is from the sandwich I picked up on the way home. Fortunately, we made the most of our time together and learned a lot from the experience.

- [Golf Academy Junior Progamming](https://joingreatlife.com/golf-academy-junior-progamming/): Golf Academy Junior Golf Programming Lil Linksters (Ages 5–7)  Lil Linksters is the perfect first step into golf, built around learning through games, movement, and tons of fun. We use athletic challenges, stations, and simple competitions to build coordination, balance, and the core fundamentals that make golf easier. Juniors naturally pick up grip, setup, and solid contact as they play, without feeling like they are in a lesson. If you want your child to gain confidence, make friends, and build a swing that is easier to repeat for a lifetime, this is where it starts.  Lil Launchers (Ages 8–10)  Lil Launchers is for juniors who are ready to level up and start seeing improvement while still keeping learning fun. We blend skill stations, games, and friendly competition to build better contact and stronger full-game fundamentals. Players get clear, simple coaching cues and lots of reps so progress sticks, plus take-home ideas to keep improving between sessions. If your junior is excited to play and wants more confidence on the course, Lil Launchers is the best mix of fun and development.   NextGEN MS: (Ages 11–14)  This is where we start moving from learning golf to training golf, with a more structured plan and a stronger focus on real improvement. Every golfer is coached based on where they are right now, so we can prioritize the skills they need most and build from there. Players get more individualized feedback while developing repeatable swing patterns and stronger scoring skills on the course. We also introduce practice habits, competitive games, and simple course strategy, so improvements transfer from the range to the course. The goal is to build confident golfers who know what to work on, why it matters, and how to keep getting better.  NextGEN HS: (Ages 15–18)  This is where we shift from training to performing, with a structured plan built for high school-aged golfers who want to take the next step in their own golfing journey. Every athlete is coached based on where they are right now, so we can prioritize the skills that will help them score lower the fastest and build a clear path forward. Players receive individualized feedback to sharpen repeatable swing patterns, improve contact and ball flight, and develop routines and processes to help set them up for success on the golf course. We expand the scoring side with wedges, putting, specialty shots, and pressure-based games that train confidence when it matters. The goal is to build prepared, self-aware players who understand what to work on, and how to practice with purpose.  Sign up for classes HERE!
