Teaching Philosophy
I coach from experience, not just theory. I’ve learned from failures and successes alike with many great mentors and coaches along the way. My approach is summed up below: “You don’t rise to the level of your goals, you fall to the level of your systems” - James Clear This is how I implement a system: -Deliver an accurate diagnosis -Educate and help you fully understand the WHY and HOW to start fixing it -Develop a time line and PLAN to follow -Monitor practice habits and tendencies -Create frequent communication channels -Track progress and adjust when needed Communication in between sessions is the KEY to improving. More feedback = faster results I specialize in all areas of the game: full swing, putting, short game, course management, and practice plans
About the coach
My coaching platform aims to solve the two biggest problems that I’ve seen players struggle with in instruction:
#1: Most golfers take or receive a great lesson, but then are unable to recreate the feels in practice and feel lost. This can be due to improper practice habits or lack of communication with a coach
#2: Players not receiving accurate feedback or diagnosis of ROOT CAUSE of their issues and a clear plan of HOW to start fixing it
✳️Taking a long term approach with consistent communication and monitoring practice habits in between sessions is where the magic happens.
⭐️UNLIMITED plan subscribers will receive priority feedback and messaging preference.
