Lydia Ko - reflecting her values
Lydia Ko, World Champion golfer, was interviewed after day three of four in her bid for a Rio Olympic Games golf medal. Going into the third day she was well off the pace and not really looking like a medal contender. After a great round of golf on day three, this is what she commented to reporters.
"I've just got to stick to my own gameplan. I think that's really important. Sometimes you can get carried away about what somebody else is doing. I'm just going to focus solely on me. Try and play some good golf, just stay patient but at the same time have fun. I'm having this opportunity at the Olympics to maybe stand on the podium and that itself I'm really grateful for that. Either way I'm just going to enjoy it. The other girls are playing some great golf and hopefully I'll be able to do the same."
In her response she reflected some incredible wisdom, depth of character and values. Respect for others, humility, passion, drive and gratitude are implicit.
Great example of living her values day-to-day.
