I want to help the Golf youth to get better in what they do, in what they live for ...
Every professional or good golf player knows TPI and PGA. Utilizing the TPI platform to design training programs for the juniors , made me realize the similarities between their training methods and what I've been already using in the Landeskader program. That gave me the confidence of being on the right path.
Your juniors are in good hands.
For many the connection between great fitness , athleticism and golf is not very clear. Some of the contemporary top players took the game of golf to a whole new level by improving their fitness and getting overall stronger in order to gain length to their strokes. This is the new status quo, and if you want to keep up with the best, you have to raise the standards and understand the fitness requirements to not be left behind.
My background in the track and field throwing events is extremely valuable in understanding the physical qualities needed in golf, and to develop strategies to get players fitter and injury free. Is not just getting stronger, more flexible, stable, resilient , being able to utilize those qualities is key. The same like in the throwing events, the golfer is chasing excellence in one extremely quick and highly coordinated rotational gesture, failing to understand that may cost more than adding value.
Not only is track and field the "mother of all sports", but the strength and conditioning methods used on a very large scale in sports performance, find their origins in track and field. More specifically, when it comes to the golf swing, the closest gesture to it in sports, is the discus throw. Being a discus thrower myself, i understand very well what it takes to create a strong and resilient body that can produce efficient swings with reduced risk of injury.
When you are already good but you want to be one of the best, just narrow your focus. Not only physical abilities need training, the mental side and personality development are just as crucial. Working in a group focuses on what fits everyone. Rarely the group is so compact that everyone can benefit in the same manner.
The solution is simple, individual training with focus on your specific needs.
You need to take care of business, or you want to train your own skills? Don't just hire a babysitter or drop them on a lousy playground. Put your kid in the best hands and free your mind.
