Get Vertical with Gratitude: Elevate Your Game & Your Life

 In the world of golf and fitness, success isn’t just about perfecting your swing or hitting the gym—it’s about mindset, resilience, and the ability to appreciate the journey. At Get Vertical, we believe that movement is power, and gratitude is the fuel that keeps us going.

Hi, I'm Kerry Maher: Champion of Women’s Golf & Fitness

I’m Kerry Maher, founder of Get Vertical, a thriving global community of women committed to improving their golf game, fitness, and overall well-being. What started as a mission to get people moving during challenging times has grown into an empowering space where women of all ages come together to elevate their game—physically and mentally.

But beyond fitness routines and swing drills, one principle has shaped my journey: gratitude.

Why Gratitude is a Game-Changer

It’s easy to focus on the next goal—lowering your handicap, increasing your clubhead speed, or reaching a new level of strength. But how often do we pause and appreciate how far we’ve come?

Gratitude isn’t just about saying “thank you”; it’s about acknowledging the journey, embracing challenges, and finding joy in progress. In both golf and life, adopting a gratitude mindset can:

✔ Improve performance – When we focus on what’s going well, we reduce stress and perform better.
✔ Strengthen resilience – Setbacks become learning experiences instead of roadblocks.
✔ Boost overall happiness – A grateful mindset shifts focus from what’s missing to what’s already amazing.

How to Practice Gratitude in Golf & Fitness

• Celebrate small wins – Every improvement, no matter how small, is a step forward.
• Stay present – Enjoy the process instead of fixating on the outcome.
• Acknowledge your support system – Coaches, teammates, workout partners—express gratitude for those who lift you up.
• Reflect daily – At the end of each round or workout, take a moment to appreciate what your body and mind accomplished.

Elevate Your Life—One Swing at a Time

At Get Vertical, we don’t just build stronger bodies—we build stronger mindsets. And that starts with gratitude. Whether you’re stepping onto the tee box or tackling a new workout challenge, take a deep breath and appreciate where you are.

Because when you move with gratitude, you don’t just get better—you rise.
