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 Players need technically sound information and a clear plan of HOW they’re actually going to improve. Understanding precedes change. Then you can OWN what you’re trying to achieve. We will work in this order: -WHAT is the ROOT CAUSE of the issues in your swing -WHY is it happening -HOW are you going to fix it I specialize in all areas of the game: full swing, putting, short game, course management, practice plans
