Golf Professional and the team. Path to success

I am a golf instructor, that is what i do and what i am good at. I also know that through the training i have carried out that i can identify any physical limitations that may be preventing you from carrying out what i would like to see in the golf swing. However i am not a fitness instructor or a medical professional, what i am saying is on a physical side i am not the expert to fix you. I fix your swing, somebody else fixes your body!!

A good professional will have a team around him who can assist his pupil outside of the golf swing. It may be a physical coach, a chiropractor or a mind coach. For a player to truely develop to their full potential all components need to be available to them.
At junior level now it is normal practice to have all the rescources available to the player from a young age. At under 13 age county level it is common place and expected to have swing, mind, nutrition and physical specialists on hand to assist in the development of a juniors golf. No stone is left unturned anymore, with every aspect covered to hopefully path the way to success.

This is also available to the club golfer. Ok, so we aren't expecting everyone to become an elite player. But say for example i am coaching a golfer who constantly comes out of their posture through a physical limitation, then i need to have somebody on hand who could assist me (medical or fitness professional). Otherwise i will just feel i am banging my head against a brick wall and the pupils progress will be restricted. It is a simple referral process.

Covering all areas will speed up the progress of your golfing development, and prevent week after week of the same lesson. Probably saving money in the long run as well. And everyone likes to save a pound or two.
