  • Oliver Whatley Former College Golfer
    May 25 2025

    Welcome to another powerful episode of the RUStrong Podcast, where we dive deep into the stories of athletes who define what it means to lead with grit, heart, and resilience, on and off the field.

    Today, we tee it up with Oliver Whatley, a former college golfer whose journey proves that talent alone doesn't earn the win, discipline, mindset, and the will to outwork everyone around you does.

    Oliver grew up with a passion for the game and the belief that golf would naturally take care of his college future. But he quickly realized that without intentional effort, consistent practice, and total commitment to the process, the path gets rocky. With incredibly supportive parents by his side, Oliver learned to put in the work, every day, and push himself to make a lasting impact. Not by chasing outcomes, but by focusing on what he could control: his mindset, hishabits, and his growth.

    He talks about learning how to learn before you learn to win, and why appreciating the small victories, staying coachable, and being vulnerable enough to receive feedback werethe keys to unlocking his full potential. Oliver reminds us that mistakes are part of the game, and that acknowledging your weaknesses can make you stronger.

    This episode is about the discipline to say no, the willpower to stay focused, and the presence to love the game, even through the struggles. Because showing up isn’t enough. You must grind. You must grow. And above all, you must put in the work.

    Let’s dive in. This is Oliver Whatley. This is RU Strong.
