Performance coaching

Advisory Performance Coaching

The same plan as Elite, but you run it and I advise. A monthly check-in and a monthly report keep you on track, at a more affordable price. Limited to 20 families a year, anywhere in the country.

The biggest mistake in junior golf

Nobody is running the plan.

Most families build junior golf piece by piece: a swing coach here, a trainer there, a schedule borrowed from other parents. Nobody owns the whole plan, so the parent ends up in charge by default.

The questions every golf parent asks

  • 01"My kid gets so frustrated on the course, and I don't know how to help."
  • 02"When I offer advice I know is right, they get angry and defensive."
  • 03"Am I doing this right as a parent?"
  • 04"Is my player good enough?"
  • 05"What do we do about recruiting?"
  • 06"Are they practicing correctly, and how would I know?"
  • 07"Why do they play great at home, but not in tournaments?"
  • 08"Is our tournament schedule right, and are we spending money wisely?"

You're not doing anything wrong. You've been handed a job nobody should do alone.

The answer

Your player needs a Performance Director.

Think of me as the head coach of your player's junior golf journey. One plan for development, practice, tournaments, the mental game, recruiting and the golf parent, with everyone on the team pulling the same way. Advisory is the same plan, tools and curriculum, run by your family, with a monthly check-in and report from me.

A select program for a limited number of families.

  • Middle school golfers who love the game but aren't elite yet. The best time to start a plan.
  • High school golfers who want to play college golf and are willing to be held to a standard.
  • Families who already have a swing coach, or who want help building the right team.
  • Parents who want a plan, a guide, and the confidence that they're helping, not hovering.
