January 21, 2013 – Clicgear USA a division of ProActive Sports Inc. and the distributor of the Clicgear 3-wheel pushcart, has become a sponsor of Dan McLaughlin and “The Dan Plan”. Clicgear became familiar with The Dan Plan in 2012 and followed Dan’s progress with interest before deciding to support his project and its message in 2013 through a sponsorship agreement.
The Dan Plan project was originally inspired by K. Anders Ericsson, Professor of Psychology at Florida State University and his theory that talent has little to do with success. According to Ericsson, “Elite performers engage in ‘deliberate practice’-an effortful activity designed to improve target performance.” Dr. Ericsson’s studies, popularized by Malcolm Gladwell’s bestselling book Outliers and Geoff Colvin’s Talent Is Overrated, have found that in order to excel in a field, roughly 10,000 hours of “stretching yourself beyond what you can currently do” is required.
“Clicgear USA is proud to support Dan McLaughlin in his quest to become a professional golfer,” said Todd Hansen, National Sales Manager for Clicgear USA. “Clicgear produces high quality products that allow golfers of all skill levels to better enjoy the game of golf. To have the opportunity to support Dan with his 10,000 hours is an honor and we know that his equipment will support his aggressive practice and playing schedule.”
“I’m happy to team with Clicgear,” said McLaughlin. “They are a great brand and build the best push carts in the industry. Having their support in my endeavor is exciting.”
McLaughlin recently passed the 3,600-hour mark and has gone from never playing golf to a 5.7 handicap. He is on schedule to reach the halfway point at the end of 2013. To learn more about The Dan Plan visit www.thedanplan.com or follow him on Twitter at @thedanplan.
