‘Remember Why You Love…’: Hours After a Disappointing Performance At $8.8 Million Event, Justin Thomas Reveals a Comforting Text From His Wife
Justin Thomas had a disappointing performance at the 2023 Genesis Invitational, finishing tied for 48th. After the round, he received a text from his wife, Jillian, that said:
> “Remember why you love this game.
Remember why you’re good at it.
Remember why you’re here.”
Thomas said the text helped him to “reset” and focus on the positive aspects of his game. He went on to win the following week at the Players Championship.
The text from Jillian was a reminder of the importance of staying true to your passions, even when things are tough. It’s easy to get caught up in the results of our games or performances, but it’s important to remember why we love doing what we do in the first place.
Jillian’s text was also a reminder of the importance of having a strong support system. Having someone who believes in you and can offer you words of encouragement can make a big difference when you’re feeling down.
Thomas’s story is a reminder that even the best athletes have bad days. But it’s how you respond to those bad days that matters. If you can stay focused on your goals and have a strong support system, you’ll be able to overcome any challenge.
