This week Pilgrims, we swap scorecards for stadium lights.

After both catching Ed Sheeran live in Sydney (70,000 strong… twice), Steve and Andy ask a simple question:

What can a global superstar teach two middle-aged golfers chasing sporting glory?

Turns out… a lot.

In this unexpected but surprisingly powerful episode, we unpack:

• 🎯 Growth Mindset in Action – From playing pubs to selling out stadiums, Ed’s long-game perseverance is the blueprint for golf development.
• 🛠️ Loving the Grind – Why enjoying practice (not just performance) is the real secret sauce.
• 🎵 Tempo & Rhythm – What Ed’s looping precision under pressure teaches us about staying smooth in the golf swing.
• 🧠 Thinking Out Loud – Using verbal commitment in your pre-shot routine to sharpen clarity and intent.
• 🤝 Collaboration & Team – Even solo artists need support. So do golfers.
• 📈 Providing Value – Why deliberate practice is how you “love yourself” in performance.
• ⛳ Shot Shape Simplicity – Fall in love with the "shape of you" (well, your shot shape at least) and build confidence around it.
• 🔥 Managing “Bad Habits” – Because we’ve all had those rounds.

Plus… the unbelievable (and apparently true) story of the time Ed accidentally cracked Justin Bieber in the face with a golf club. Yes. That happened.

No golf was played this week — but plenty was learned.

If you’re serious about improvement, this episode is a reminder:

Success isn’t built on the big stage.
It’s built in the quiet hours when no one’s watching.

Rock out, Pilgrims. 🎸⛳
