Golf may not seem like a tasking sport to some as it is a non-contact and an individual sport. Those that play and practice frequently, regardless of skill level, understand that there is not only a mental but physical commitment to staying sharp and strong throughout a season. The ability to maintain good posture, optimal joint range of motion and flexibility, endurance, as well as avoiding injuries are all crucial to having a successful golf season.
Once the Foundational Education Program has been established, students will continue to work towards maintaining their bodies maximal potential and developing functional movement patterns in support of sound swing mechanics.
Mobility Series Breakdown:
Introduction on what mobility is and how it pertains to golf-specific motions. You will learn the joint relationships in terms of stability and mobility. Identify the current range of motion needs of the student based upon initial evaluation and introduce rotational exercises.
Expand upon initial rotational exercises based upon body/spine relationships.
Continued focus on rotational mobility and learn muscular relationships as it pertains to golf specific motions. You will learn how proper breathing techniques support mobility.
Introduce hip mobility exercises in support of full ranges of motion. Learn proper footwork to promote hip mobility.
You will learn how to separate your lower body from your upper body based upon established mobility.
Continue to train separation and discuss how patterns of motion in other sports relate to the golf swing.
Introduce shoulder mobility and how it supports proper arm movement in the golf swing.
Learn strengthening exercises for the shoulders and shoulder blades to support golf posture and good rotation.
Interrelated dynamic mobility exercises focused on golf specific patterns of motion.
Review and recap the series.
