What is Golf and Sports Specific Training?

WHAT IS GOLF and SPORTS SPECIFIC TRAINING?🏌️‍♂️🏋️‍♂️

Let's start with what it is not.

❌It is not mimicking the golf swing or sport in the gym.

❌It is not doing circus tricks on an unstable surface.

❌It is not doing any type of cardio for the purpose of improving your golf game

Now that we got that out of the way lets talk about what it is.

In a nutshell, it is preparing your body to create and withstand the necessary forces and movements involved in a golf swing and building resiliency to minimize injury risk.

HOW IS THIS DONE YOU ASK.

✅ Building lower body strength and power in multiple planes through variations of squatting, deadlifting, lunging, hip thrusts and jumping.

✅ Building upper body strength through vertical and horizontal pressing and pulling

✅ Building rotational power through medicine ball throws and cable work focusing on using the ground to create the movement and moving with the intent of speed

✅ Improving your body's ability to create, control and resist movement via anti-movement training for the trunk or "core" and mobility work through all joints of the body, focusing on the thoracic spine, hips, pelvis, and shoulders.

SIMPLIFY YOUR PLAN AS BEST AS YOU CAN AND FOCUS ON BUILDING THE BASICS.

GOLF IS PRIMARILY A GAME OF SKILL AND THAT SKILL IS DEVELOPED ON THE COURSE OR THE PRACTICE FACILITY NOT THE GYM.

WHAT YOU DO IN THE GYM SHOULD SUPPLEMENT THAT SKILL DEVELOPMENT🏌️‍♂️, IMPROVE STRENGTH AND POWER DEVELOPMENT 🏋️‍♂️ AND IMPROVE YOUR HEALTH😁

I believe we are all athletes and that we should train like athletes to some degree regardless of our goals.
