Michael T. Mondak speaks about Tommy Fleetwood’s failure to win on the PGA Tour

Tommy Fleetwood is the best golfer to never have won on the PGA Tour. Even though he has won seven times on the DP World Tour in Europe, and consistently finished in the top 30 in both the FedEx Cup and Race to Dubai standings, winning on the PGA Tour in the United States continues to elude him. There are several theories that golf fans and critics cite as reasons for his failure to win in the United States: Mental:  Golf is partly a mental game.  If his mentality is holding him back from winning, then I suggest that Dr. Bob Rotella step in to help.  Dr. Rotella is a world-renowned sports psychologist that has worked on the mental side of sports with the world’s greatest athletes.  His recent success in helping Rory McIlroy finally win the Masters at Augusta National could also help Tommy Fleetwood finally break through with a win on the PGA Tour. Caddie:  In professional golf, every player has a caddie they employ.  Their basic duties are to show up, keep ...

Michael T. Mondak speaks to Santa Claus

Dear Mr. Claus: I say, I say, it's that time of year again? Even though I celebrated a milestone in my life in July 2025 (my 40th birthday), the year in general had too many changes (becoming an uncle, loss of employment, the launch of Zipelly, five personal losses in a two-month span, e.g.) to count.  I deserve a Christmas miracle of all miracles. As you might already know, I am known in the Shenango Valley as "The Balloon Man", handing out helium balloons to the children at different events such as the Hermitage Arts Festival, Buhl Day, e.g. What I want to do starting in 2026 is be able to show the folks who are not able to make it to these festivals is for them to see me in action at these events from my point of view.  I would like a GoPro camera that I can attach to my waist or atop my ever-present Penn State hat to take these action videos from my point of view. In 2025, the Covenant Speed/Power softball team for the ninth consecutive season, retained the Chet Camer...

Michael T. Mondak speaks about Reviving Penn State basketball with opportunities, challenges and fan power

Image
Penn State basketball has a passionate fan base, bur for too long, the men's and women's programs haven't contributed points to the Learfield Directors' Cup like other sports do. Programs like wrestling, women's volleyball, men's and women's ice hockey and lacrosse, and football consistently carry the Cup totals.  In contrast, basketball currently contributes zero points, leaving a major gap compared with schools like Duke, UNC and Stanford. Imagine just one Sweet 16 run adding between approximately 60 to 80 points, an Elite 8 run adding 100 to 120 points, and a Final Four run that could earn 140 to 160 or more points, which would be enough to shift Penn State several spots in the Cup standings. In the Learfield Directors' Cup, each school must include at least 12 countable men's sports and at least 12 countable women's sports.  At least 4 men's sports and at least 4 women's sports must be team sports.  These are common examples of mandat...
