Almost all athletes have their ups and downs. Tiger Woods, the golfing legend, once went four years without winning on the PGA Tour. The course often tests players with both narrow losses and bad days. One needs a strong will and resolve to carry on and move forward. A player with such resolve is Bryson DeChambeau.

Bryson has a never-give-up spirit and doesn’t seem to know the meaning of the word “quit.” The reason: his father.

The eight-time PGA Tour victor went on to add how much that had helped him. Bryson’s father never let him quit at “anything.” There were times when the going got tough, and DeChambeau wanted to quit too. At those times, his father would talk him out of it. “Whenever tough times came about and I wanted to quit, he would always sit down with me and say, ‘Bryson, you got to push through this; you can’t stop.’”
