Education and awareness are two essential pieces for success. Many tools in life come with instructional manuals. Our bodies unfortunately do not. We all basically know how to move but due to habits, past injuries, and our living/working situations we can lose our abilities to move in the most efficient ways. This is the main objective with this program: how to educate and teach the student how to maximize their potential for success and to avoid future injury when taking on further programs, such as strength or speed training. This program will have sequential learning lessons to establish the foundational pieces necessary to building a sound golf-body: solid posture, correct stabilization patterns in static and dynamic ways, joint freedom for better range of motion, awareness how the bodies center of mass affects movements, and a better understanding of optimal ways to load the body/tissues for overall athletic successes. This is a prerequisite for all other training series as it goes in-depth on proper movement strategies and will be referred to continuously with its concepts and cueing.
Foundation Series Breakdown:
Introduction on what stability is and how it pertains to golf-specific motions. You will learn how to utilize your breathing for additional stabilization as well as learn strategies to control the pelvis to lay roots for a strong and stable spine.
Continuing focus on Foundational concepts from session 1, layering in more advanced stabilization movement patterns as it pertains to the pelvis.
You will learn how stability helps create mobility. We will add stretching strategies and exercises to build core strength.
Solidify your training focus as it pertains to breathing, pelvic control, and core strength. Introduce and discuss the importance of hip stability as it pertains to golf.
Establish sound golf posture through proper hip hinge. Introduce balance dynamics.
Continued focus on balance dynamics with introduction of footwork and weight pressure.
Review of breathing techniques and its importance. Transfer of weight/energy dynamics.
Introduce golf specific movements while focusing on overall stability.
Perform golf specific movements while focusing on overall stability.
Review and recap the series.
