Tiger Woods is one of the most recognizable athletes in history. But before the records… before the trophies… before the roar of crowds… there was discipline.
In Episode 2 of The Discipline of Greatness, Doug goes beyond the highlights and into the habits that built a legend.
From a quiet garage in California to the pressure of Augusta. From obsessive teenage practice sessions to total dominance of the sport. From devastating injuries and career-threatening setbacks to one of the greatest comebacks golf has ever seen.
This is not a story about talent.
It’s a story about structure.About sacrifice.About doing the work when no one is watching.
And about how true greatness is built long before it is ever seen.
This is the Tiger Woods story — not through fame, controversy, or headlines… but through discipline.

Mario Lemieux was never supposed to be just great.
He was supposed to save a franchise.
In this premiere episode of The Discipline of Greatness: More Than the Score, we explore the extraordinary life and career of one of the most gifted players the NHL has ever seen — and the discipline it took to rise through adversity that would have ended most careers.
From record-breaking dominance in junior hockey… to carrying the Pittsburgh Penguins on his back as an 18-year-old rookie… to redefining scoring in one of hockey’s most physical eras — Lemieux’s talent was undeniable.
But his greatness was forged elsewhere.
In battles with chronic injury.In a fight against cancer.In walking away from the game — and later returning.And ultimately, in becoming part-owner of the very team he once saved as a player.
This is not just a story about goals and championships.
It’s about resilience.Leadership.And the discipline to rebuild when your body, your future, and your identity are all tested at once.
If you think you know the story of Mario Lemieux… this episode goes deeper.
Because greatness is built long before the final score.
