The Latest Research on Non-Dominant Golf Swing Training The role of non-dominant swings as a part of golf training programs has attracted much debate and argument. Golf is a highly unilateral sport, where the player is trying to achieve maximal movement power and efficiency in a single side rotation. As such, individuals argue that there is no need for opposite side golf swings (right handed golfer swinging left handed), if the sport movement is centered around single side rotation. In contrast, those who support the role of opposite side training suggest that benefits from this type of training is worth the time invested for golfers of various skill levels.

Poor alignment: Misalignment can cause the ball to miss the target. 3. Inconsistent stroke: Uneven or jerky putting strokes can result in inconsistency. 4. Incorrect speed control: Failing to gauge the speed properly can lead to the ball coming up short or rolling past the hole. 5.

Youth Soccer Directors who hire top coaches... Work through these 7 specific questions ⬇️ 1/ How Do They Understand Development? Determine if your definitions of development align. Do they focus on long-term vision and player potential, or do they emphasize winning and infrastructure? Coaches should believe in every player’s potential and commit to a long-term process. 2/ What Is Their Coaching Philosophy? Assess if the coach has a well-crafted philosophy and can articulate the what and how. Their philosophy should be developmental and tailored to the age group they will coach. You need teachers who can convey the club’s vision in a way that resonates with specific players and parents. 3/ Are They Open to Being Developed Themselves? Identify if the coach is motivated to learn or set in their ways. Younger coaches might lack experience but can compensate with enthusiasm for personal development. Coaches passionate about their growth will push the club’s development forward. 4/ Why Do They Want to Coach at Your Club? Ensure their personal motivations align with the club’s long-term vision. Coaches should view the job as an end in itself, not merely a stepping stone. Ego-centric motivations can lead to apathy and derail club’s progress over time. 5/ Do They Seem Enthusiastic and Motivated to Do a Good Job? Look for dependable people who bring positive energy daily. Coaches need to create environments that kids want to return to, with enthusiasm that enhances the teaching of the club’s vision. Find those who see coaching as a vocation rather than just a job. 6/ Was the Feedback Overwhelmingly Positive from Their Previous Coaching Stops? Thoroughly investigate their past to identify any red flags. Contact people not on their reference list, especially former players who weren’t stars. Finding coaches who add value to everyone requires a close look at their previous roles. 7/ What’s Your Gut Feel? Trust your instincts. While the previous questions guide you, your gut feeling is crucial. Hiring is never completely objective, so follow your instincts when they push you one way or another. Be excited about every person you hire. ___ In Summary... Your organization is only as strong as your people. As a director, you set the vision and course for the entire club. So use the 7 Q's to bring in the right people in and Keep the wrong fits out. What problems have you come against hiring new coaches? Let us know in the comments.

An interesting read by Passaportis et al. (2024) on athlete thriving. A continual re-emphasis on the critical role that the environment plays in an athlete's success. It's clear, across all levels, that athletes consistently highlight the need for meaningful connections, strong support networks and healthy coach-athlete relationships to have the right foundation for optimal performance. https://lnkd.in/g3JkpWhk

This is the EASIEST way to chip around the green! #golf #golftips #golfer #golfcourse #golfchipping #chippingtips

Lately, there’s been a vibrant debate on social media about the influence of coaching on Carlos Alcaraz’s performance, particularly around the recent rule changes. Andy Roddick really hits the nail on the head in episode 8 of his podcast (link in comments), where he calls out the absurd idea that Alcaraz is unfairly benefiting from these changes. But what really grabs my interest isn't the controversy—it's the killer communication and solid values between Alcaraz and his coach, Juan Carlos Ferrero. The impact of Ferrero on Alcaraz mirrors the influence Antonio Cascales had on Ferrero during his formative years. These relationships blend personal care with professional growth, shaping not just players but great individuals. I vividly recall observing a young Ferrero with Cascales on the ITF junior circuit, a partnership rooted in mutual respect and open communication. Fast forward to a recent practice at Indian Wells, and it’s clear that Ferrero imparts these same values to Alcaraz. Watching them, it felt like stepping into a time machine—I could see that same mutual respect and shared values that have always been part of the game, even if they often go unnoticed. These coaching relationships are more than just technical—they are deeply personal and crucial for developing not just skill but character and resilience. As a coach, witnessing these bonds flourish has only strengthened my conviction in the transformative power of ethical and respectful coaching. Let's not just talk about these relationships—let's learn from them. The real magic of sports is in these lifelong bonds that help shape who we become, on and off the court.

Why Buying Used Golf Clubs Can Be an Intelligent Decision Regarding golf equipment, many players feel they need to spend a fortune on brand-new clubs. But here’s a little secret: buying used golf clubs can be one of the most intelligent decisions you make, especially if you want to save money without sacrificing performance. You can build a solid set of irons, hybrids, and fairway woods at a fraction of the cost while still getting the same results as if you had bought them new. Save Big on Irons, Hybrids, and Fairway Woods Irons, hybrids, and fairway woods are often where you’ll find the best value when shopping for used clubs. These clubs are built to last, and as long as they’re in good condition, they can serve you well for years. In most cases, used irons and hybrids will show minimal wear, and a quick regrip might be all they need to feel brand new. Plus, the money you save on these clubs can go towards more important areas of your game when starting or upgrading. Where to Splurge: Driver, Sand Wedge, and Putter While saving on used clubs is bright, there are three clubs you should consider splurging on: your driver, sand wedge and putter. Why? Because these clubs are the most personal and can have the most significant impact on your performance. 1. Driver: Your driver sets the tone on 14 holes for a typical round. It’s the club you use to tee off, and having a custom-fit driver to your swing can make a difference. New driver technology constantly evolves, and investing in the latest model can help with distance, forgiveness, and accuracy. 2. Sand Wedge: Your sand wedge is a precision tool. Whether blasting out of the bunker or hitting a delicate pitch shot around the green, the feel and control you get from a well-fitted sand wedge are invaluable. A newer model will give you the best grooves and spin control, making those tricky shots much more manageable. 3. Putter: The putter is, without question, the most personal club in your bag. It’s the one you’ll use the most on the course, and having a putter that feels right in your hands is crucial for building confidence on the greens. A custom-fitted or higher-end putter can help you dial in your stroke and shave strokes off your score. In Conclusion If you’re looking to save money without sacrificing performance, buying used irons, hybrids, and fairway woods is a great way to go. However, don’t hesitate to invest in your driver, sand wedge, and putter. These clubs are the heart of your game and will pay dividends when you step onto the course. So, mix and match your clubs wisely, and you’ll have a winning combination that works for your game and wallet! #golf #pga #lpga #usga #entrylevelgolf #welovethisgame #thxpgapro #makegolfyourthing #ricmooregolf
