Scary, scary. 20 00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:07,560 You know what? It might even be more than that 21 00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:11,200 because you joined the Golf Club when you were 89. 22 00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:16,720 I was 8 and my dad got me and and to Caldwell Park and yeah, 23 00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:19,840 so it must be just about 35 years. 24 00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:21,880 Now we're going to tell a tailor your skill. 25 00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:24,440 It's all moved on. If no, but I'm already insane at 26 00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:26,440 one point, you're in the wrong age category. 27 00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:30,320 Yes, yes, that, that will get my dad into trouble now. 28 00:01:30,320 --> 00:01:36,600 And I think he actually doctored my age and to get the end when I 29 00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:42,640 was 8 and I had me down as as 10, yeah. 30 00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:45,720 Well, we've all moved on now, calling us all get this whole 31 00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:49,080 war under the bridge. But then just talking about 32 00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:52,160 golf, corn with Jump Street and there was your dad that go, 33 00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:53,520 yeah, they came. Where did you get going? 34 00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:56,920 Very much so, yes. And obviously you know my dad 35 00:01:57,160 --> 00:02:02,200 very well as well, and one of the probably the keenest golfers 36 00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:05,880 you'll ever meet in your life practices more than anyone you 37 00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:08,720 know, I'm sure. I get prices more than VJ 38 00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:13,960 saying. 100% and so yeah, he got me any goal from a very early 39 00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:16,640 age. First gotten my first set of 40 00:02:16,640 --> 00:02:19,640 clubs, not like it was or as now. 41 00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:21,480 Where do you get the junior sets? 42 00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:27,520 It was all cut down, the irons and five irons and yeah, Optic 43 00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:29,760 Oval Park to play. Brilliant. 44 00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:33,840 And then calling, what about Koval Park is a place? 45 00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:36,440 What was that like for you when you were a kid and grown up and 46 00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:37,840 some of the characters over there? 47 00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:42,200 That was great and you know yourself and a great bunch of 48 00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:47,280 junior golfers and made a really good junior team and back in the 49 00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:50,880 day and then you know yourself and just just a great bunch to 50 00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:56,640 play with and great growing up. Summer holidays, getting dropped 51 00:02:56,640 --> 00:03:00,280 off at 9 O clock in the morning, getting packed up at 8-9 O clock 52 00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:02,920 at night when I get dark. We just spent the full summer 53 00:03:02,920 --> 00:03:06,160 there, you know? Yeah, definitely what it has 54 00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:09,200 like nowadays with laptops and iPods and stuff. 55 00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:11,280 We just played golf all the time, don't we? 56 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:15,000 Yeah, absolutely. And then Colin, we're on here to 57 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,920 talk about your personal training and fatness world that 58 00:03:17,920 --> 00:03:20,280 you don't know. But I don't know if you just 59 00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:22,880 talk about where you were before you got into fatness because I 60 00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:25,920 know the hash trade. But there wasn't just a straight 61 00:03:25,920 --> 00:03:28,240 line from being untrusted in golf and sports. 62 00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:29,760 Novice and straight on the fatness, was it? 63 00:03:30,920 --> 00:03:33,600 No, no. So I would originally qualified 64 00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:38,800 in IT. So I'd worked in IT for eight or 65 00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:44,280 nine years and as I've told you many times and didn't 66 00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:47,200 particularly enjoy it, if I'm being honest. 67 00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:50,000 And then yeah, something happened to me. 68 00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:54,120 So when I was, I was 30 when I eventually transferred over into 69 00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:56,080 personal training. So that's just that's just me 70 00:03:56,080 --> 00:04:03,880 now nearly in my 16th year and I'd actually helped a friend to 71 00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:07,160 get into shape and because I'd always been into the gym, but 72 00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:09,840 I'd helped a friend get into shape for that wedding. 73 00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:15,600 And then I just thought I really enjoyed that. 74 00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:19,480 Like she just the boys of helping somebody was a better 75 00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:26,680 way get fatter and stronger. And at the time, you know, I'm 76 00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:29,400 loving myself, no kids, no family. 77 00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:33,000 There's very much like, you know, do it now. 78 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,560 You make the times fair. No, or it's or it's never going 79 00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:39,200 to happen. And so ended up doing my PT 80 00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:43,080 course at the same time I was working an old job and at Dell 81 00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:48,600 and computers. And then 68 months later, I was 82 00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:52,520 on the jump floor. Wow, and that's funny. 83 00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:56,360 I mean, you were fairness is huge now and I guess it's always 84 00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:58,640 been grown. It's never, it's not just come 85 00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:02,880 out of the the blue completely, but I mean, 16 years ago Corner 86 00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:04,640 wasn't a lot of people working in fitness. 87 00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:07,000 So what was it like making that jump? 88 00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:12,880 When I look back now, you know, it's, it's terrifying, you know, 89 00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:15,680 and because like you say, personal training wasn't even 90 00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:20,000 that big a thing 16 years ago, like when I've been in my first 91 00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:23,720 Gen. and there was only one other personal trainer there. 92 00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:29,240 You walk out national Gen. now that might be sex of it personal 93 00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:35,160 trainers, but I guess I was I was kind of fortunate in a way 94 00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:37,440 that you know, I had I had more in house. 95 00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:43,400 I stayed in old flat and what not making a go over just wasn't 96 00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:45,160 an option. You know, you still had dead 97 00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:49,280 bells to pay and you know that wee bit of money saved up from 98 00:05:49,280 --> 00:05:53,360 old job, but it was a case of right, I've got to go running 99 00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:55,560 here, so I've got to make a go with us. 100 00:05:56,040 --> 00:06:02,160 And so I was, I've been at the DW Sports in the September of 101 00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:08,680 2010 and it probably took me to about the February 2011 to 102 00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:11,920 really get up and running and get a decent client base. 103 00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:16,720 And by that point I was, I was really sort of up and running. 104 00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:19,480 Yeah. And what was it like back then? 105 00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:22,360 So I know these days you're doing a lot of stuff online, but 106 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:25,160 what was it like back then in terms of people coming to see 107 00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:27,520 you? So it was all in person then 108 00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:30,240 there was no online and there was no apps. 109 00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:33,560 There's all, you know, all my programs were all done old skill 110 00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:40,120 and a bat of paper and and getting clients in the beginning 111 00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:42,760 was tough. You've got to go up. 112 00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:45,800 And it's not like online when you can just message or you 113 00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:48,880 know, DM someone. You've got to go and approach 114 00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:53,040 someone in the gym, you know, So someone's walking away on a 115 00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:55,880 treadmill or on a chess press machine. 116 00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:59,240 You've actually got to walk up and, and just start a 117 00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:03,800 conversation with them, try and get talking to them and OfferUp 118 00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:07,720 the sessions to try and show you know what you're you know, what 119 00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:10,600 your training styles like and how good I thought you would be. 120 00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:15,680 But yeah, that that was definitely the hardest part of 121 00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:20,720 the job was just approaching strangers for months on end. 122 00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:24,520 And I was just going to ask, just thinking there, do you 123 00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:26,000 think golf helped with that at all? 124 00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:28,880 Possibly, yeah. Yeah. 125 00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:30,800 Because you know what it's like, you know, you're playing with 126 00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:33,400 different people, you know, in competitions each week. 127 00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:36,280 You're playing with people that you didn't, that you don't 128 00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:41,120 necessarily know. I think my last job, if I'm 129 00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:44,840 being honest, and but Dale helped me as well. 130 00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:48,400 And although I didn't particularly enjoy the job, like 131 00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:52,720 just being able to speak to and communicate with people, and had 132 00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:55,200 I not had that experience, I might have found that a bit 133 00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:57,560 harder. And so that was the one thing 134 00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:01,280 that I could kind of transfer over from old Korea and was 135 00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:04,680 basically how to how to deal with people, how to approach 136 00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:06,800 people, how to speak to different types of people. 137 00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:10,760 Yeah, absolutely. And then in terms of what you're 138 00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:14,720 doing, I call and I mean you've talked about how you go into it. 139 00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:18,000 So just talk about what movie issue for as well. 140 00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:22,960 I still get the same buzz now, like I just, I just love like 141 00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:28,360 helping people like I just, I, yeah, I just, I love, you know, 142 00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:30,720 my, my clients reaching their goals. 143 00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:34,120 You know, I wait for my check insurance at the weekend now and 144 00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:37,320 I still get the same buzz as I did, you know, 16 years ago when 145 00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:40,919 I just started. So I don't think that'll ever 146 00:08:40,919 --> 00:08:44,800 leave me or even though and I'm working online and I'm in person 147 00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:49,160 a point even more yeah Buzz now than I did, you know, from from 148 00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:52,320 when I first started out. And The thing is, and it might 149 00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:55,360 be obvious to a lot of people, but not always, I think that may 150 00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:57,640 be the perception that you're just telling what for what to 151 00:08:57,640 --> 00:08:59,680 do. But your own fatness, I mean, 152 00:08:59,680 --> 00:09:03,040 just talk folks through what kind of routine you get through 153 00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:04,840 yourself. And some of the, I know you've 154 00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:06,320 been doing hydrox and things like that. 155 00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:09,120 So I'd love you to talk the folks through what you actually 156 00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:13,520 do yourself in a week. So I suppose it changes and with 157 00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:17,000 the seasons. And so over the last couple of 158 00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:20,280 years during the winter time, I've been training for, for the 159 00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:24,360 high rocks race, which is, which is actually two weeks today and 160 00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:27,040 Glasgow. So this is my, my thought High 161 00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:32,040 Rocks race at that Glasgow last year and that Dublin and 162 00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:36,480 November last year. And so my, it almost replaces 163 00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:39,560 the golf during the winter, which is what I love about it. 164 00:09:39,560 --> 00:09:43,800 So it's quite intense and you know, 5 or 6 days a week over 165 00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:49,080 the winter training and then once that's done it just fits in 166 00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:51,200 perfect with the start of the golf season. 167 00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:56,560 So come April my training will switch a little bit and it won't 168 00:09:56,560 --> 00:10:00,560 be 5 or 6 days, it may only be maybe 3 days in the gym because 169 00:10:00,560 --> 00:10:04,440 I'll be playing more golf and golf really becomes my focus 170 00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:07,320 then heading into the the spring and the summer. 171 00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:10,320 And what kind of things are involved in the high rocks for 172 00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:11,920 anybody that's never come across? 173 00:10:12,560 --> 00:10:19,080 So that so the race itself as an 8 single kilometre runs with 174 00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:25,480 there's 8 stations in between and so there's a ski, ski, egg 175 00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:32,360 sled push, sled pull. But people jumps, roar, farmers 176 00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:35,520 carries walking lunges, wall balls. 177 00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:37,000 Do you know what? It's great. 178 00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:42,360 I love it and it's it's so addictive and absolute torture 179 00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:46,200 when you're doing it at the time when I was halfway around one of 180 00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:49,960 the laps, the running laps at Dublin, I'm like, I am never 181 00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:53,760 doing this ever again. And and here I'm four or five 182 00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:55,640 months later ready for my next race. 183 00:10:57,080 --> 00:11:01,600 But the thing I love about the training is that not, there's 184 00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:03,360 not 2 days of the same and your week. 185 00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:07,000 So it's completely different from like you're, you're, you're 186 00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:10,240 going to the gym and doing your two or three or four strength 187 00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:12,640 sessions per week. Each day is different. 188 00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:17,960 So like a Monday might be your first strength day, a Tuesday 189 00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:21,760 I'll be like a raw, a long run. So like yesterday, my long run 190 00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:25,280 day, you're out doing maybe 10 to 3013 K. 191 00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:29,920 You then then mate do like a high Rock specific training day 192 00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:32,960 where you're practicing your stations and just getting your 193 00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:36,520 technique right and practicing what's called your compromised 194 00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:40,160 runs, which is basically running on. 195 00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:43,320 Then your legs are on fire. Oh no. 196 00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:45,080 Which is a huge part of the training. 197 00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:47,720 And then you may have another day that's doing some short 198 00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:51,400 total track runs. So no two days are the same and 199 00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:52,920 that's what I really enjoy about it now. 200 00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:56,600 And you, so the competition is all inside and that, but you're 201 00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:58,440 trained inside and outside, right? 202 00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:01,880 Yeah, I do all my my running. I try to do all my running 203 00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:05,520 outside. But the in Glasgow, it's in the 204 00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:08,960 old SCCC building. All right, That's what that he 205 00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:09,840 says. Yeah. 206 00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:13,680 And so you're basically running around the arena. 207 00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:17,160 I can't remember. It's a fear for laps as your 1 208 00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:20,080 kilometer and then you're your next station. 209 00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:22,600 And you do that eight times, we're doing the stuff in 210 00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:25,040 between. Yeah, yeah, yeah. 211 00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:31,400 And so, yeah, but I've got my client and who's my partner, 212 00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:35,280 double S partner. So, so we do the Max double S 213 00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:38,840 and she's got to do all the guys weights. 214 00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:41,480 So there's definitely weight categories, you know. 215 00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:45,040 But the Max double S, all the females have got to do the guy's 216 00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:48,280 weights. So she's like, she's crazier 217 00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:52,880 than me. I'm not saying something. 218 00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:55,600 Yeah. So we're ready to go on that. 219 00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:58,960 But on the Countdown now two weeks today as as race day. 220 00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:04,040 Blowing all the best for that and Colin that's a great, great 221 00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:07,120 step on the war we're talking about today in more detail as 222 00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:09,840 well as you mentioned the golf there so you get high docks 223 00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:12,400 training obviously training people all the time all year 224 00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:14,560 round. But now you've been able to 225 00:13:14,560 --> 00:13:18,560 start combining thus more specifically worth golf. 226 00:13:18,560 --> 00:13:21,400 And I'm sure you look, you get friends that are golfers, you've 227 00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:23,200 known people that are golfers for years. 228 00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:25,280 I'm sure you've trained them for fatness. 229 00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:27,680 But now you've started working with Lanarkshire Golf 230 00:13:27,680 --> 00:13:30,040 Association. So I'd love if you'd just talk 231 00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:32,960 about that and take the last news through how you're helping 232 00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:35,920 the younger kids get into fitness for for golf 233 00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:37,840 specifically and actually more broadly. 234 00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:40,720 Yeah, yeah. So yeah, that's came about 235 00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:46,640 probably the autumn time and last year and a man that both of 236 00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:51,320 us know really, really well and Ian Rankin from Caldwell Park 237 00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:54,560 and had, he's still involved with Lanarkshire Golf. 238 00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:59,120 He'd contacted me and asked if I'd been interested in coaching 239 00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:03,040 some of the young kids through the winter time, basically just 240 00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:06,840 to do a winter program to try and get them fatter and stronger 241 00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:11,240 and heading into the what's now coming up to the 2026 season. 242 00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:15,680 So obviously something I'm really passionate about and you 243 00:14:15,680 --> 00:14:18,240 know, as long as we could make the times work, it was an 244 00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:22,720 absolute noble enough for me. And so eventually got in contact 245 00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:29,400 with the the junior convenor and Kenny McLean and Lanarkshire and 246 00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:31,200 I think maybe the secretary as well. 247 00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:35,360 And then we had a good chat about it and then yeah, but we 248 00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:41,520 got everything sorted. So we started start of October, 249 00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:46,880 maybe run up to Christmas and now we've got hard to believe. 250 00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:48,640 I think we've only got 5 sessions left. 251 00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:51,200 So it's actually tonight. So Wednesday night that we that 252 00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:57,000 we do the sessions. I've got 4-4 junior golfers and 253 00:14:57,000 --> 00:15:01,760 then it's been brilliant like just working through each 254 00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:06,160 different phase with them. So but actually duty start a new 255 00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:08,960 phase of sort of training tonight. 256 00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:15,600 But we're working on mobility strength and a lot of core work, 257 00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:20,680 a lot of rotational work and in a lot of like kind of expose of 258 00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:23,120 power. Right, brilliant. 259 00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:27,920 So then calling in terms of each part, like I've been listening 260 00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:31,720 to obviously yourself over the years, but other podcasts and 261 00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:35,680 stuff about mobility and and hearing stuff a bit like 262 00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:38,680 stretching and you've got the sort of common laypersons 263 00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:40,880 understanding of all my bad stuff. 264 00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:43,640 I need to start stretching. And I was listening to one 265 00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:46,600 particular with a group over in America and they were talking 266 00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:49,800 about you. That's just not going to work 267 00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:51,840 basically. So I'd love you to talk about 268 00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:55,240 how you would tackle helping people be more mobile, even for 269 00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:59,360 younger kids. It's just a huge part of, of 270 00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:05,720 training mobility and you know, I guess that's just doesn't even 271 00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:09,720 with, with kids or with golfers, obviously the population as a 272 00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:12,880 whole. And you know, if I could pull 273 00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:17,000 the average person from the street, you'll probably find of 274 00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:21,400 getting really, really tight hips and really weak and really 275 00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:24,840 weak hamstrings and glutes. What do we spend most of our 276 00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:28,000 days doing? We sat down or sitting at a desk 277 00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:31,400 or sitting in a car or sitting watching TV. 278 00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:35,000 So you got haps of constantly getting tighter and tighter. 279 00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:39,440 And that's why I think no nowadays as well, you people 280 00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:44,800 with lower back problems, constantly sitting down, tight 281 00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:48,880 hip flexors, weak hamstrings and glutes lead to lower back 282 00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:53,080 problems. And I'm pretty confident that if 283 00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:56,120 someone came to me and said, listen, I've got my lower back, 284 00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:59,680 it's given me a few problems that if I gave them some 285 00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:04,319 properly structured, for example, deadlifts and some hip 286 00:17:04,319 --> 00:17:07,520 stretches and told them to go in and do that for six or eight 287 00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:09,800 weeks, they would see a huge improvement. 288 00:17:11,599 --> 00:17:14,560 So yeah, so that the mobility stretches, we always do them at 289 00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:18,560 the start of each session. And then I'm really trying to in 290 00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:20,920 green. And the boys that almost wanted 291 00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:24,000 to do this, like before they go out and play out their own golf, 292 00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:27,560 let's woosen off the hips, let's woosen off the shoulders and the 293 00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:30,480 spine. And so we have a run of maybe 294 00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:33,160 four or five, six exercises that they do at the start of each 295 00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:36,680 session and just to really help with our mobility. 296 00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:40,720 But I mean, and then and actually we'll come back into 297 00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:42,080 that. I've got a few questions or not 298 00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:44,600 and follow up, but I'll see if then we'll go through some of 299 00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:47,200 the other points. Then we touched on strength as 300 00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:48,560 well. So what kind of things would you 301 00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:51,320 see from a strength point of view you'd work with people on 302 00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:52,040 as well? Call. 303 00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:55,440 Yeah. So, you know, it's got to be 304 00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:57,880 full body. OK, so we've got to cover all 305 00:17:57,880 --> 00:17:59,640 the bases. So what I've been doing 306 00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:03,080 predominantly with the with the juniors as that we do four or 307 00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:06,880 five strength exercises. So the two or three upper and 308 00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:09,880 two or three lower, big compound exercises. 309 00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:15,280 So no, no T-shirt muscle exercises, no bicep cuddles or 310 00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:20,640 anything like that. All big compound exercises, dead 311 00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:26,800 laughs, squats, lunges, you know for the upper half, pull ups, 312 00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:32,400 bench press, overhead press. So if you just take those 65 or 313 00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:36,520 six exercises and give them to just to be anyone and said they 314 00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:40,440 go and try and get stronger than those movements over the next 68 315 00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:43,120 weeks, it's amazing the difference you would feel. 316 00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:47,000 And the thing that I think the part you're stressing there is 317 00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:51,240 of course you want for to do it for the long term and come out 318 00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:54,280 even more in terms of time. But I'd love you talk about 319 00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:58,200 Colin, just the impact it can make from doing something 320 00:18:58,360 --> 00:19:01,520 different and making it regular versus not doing anything at 321 00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:04,040 all. Should, especially as you get 322 00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:10,920 older, I mean, I find it myself and, and you know, you've got 323 00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:15,480 obviously the the the strength and, and just over overall and 324 00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:18,600 like feeling, feeling fatter and stronger and stuff like that. 325 00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:22,640 But I think nose, well, it's it's the whole kind of like 326 00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:26,800 mental side as well. Like, you know, it's amazing. 327 00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:30,320 How much better do you feel after you've done a walkout? 328 00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:33,400 Yeah. And at times I've had clients 329 00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:37,520 and one in one sessions that have commented me not, you know, 330 00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:41,280 not without, you know, rotten day at work, you know, stress 331 00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:42,960 with the kids or the family or whatever. 332 00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:46,000 You'll come in, they'll do the workout and see by the end 333 00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:49,960 they'll always say, God, I feel a million times better now. 334 00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:54,240 Yeah, it's not, it's not just the, it's not just the physical 335 00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:56,080 side, it's the mental side as well. 336 00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:01,960 If you've been enjoying the show, please do remember to 337 00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:04,440 follow on your favorite podcast platform and share it with a 338 00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:06,680 friend. Now let's get back to the pod. 339 00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:12,440 And then you talked about rotation as well. 340 00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:14,800 So what do you do with people in terms of rotation? 341 00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:16,640 Really. Well, just in general, but also 342 00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:18,440 related to golf. Yeah. 343 00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:20,000 So, yeah, that's a huge part of it. 344 00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:24,480 That's just so that's just the third block of exercises that we 345 00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:27,680 do and our session. So a lot of cable work. 346 00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:31,080 Cables are fantastic for doing rotational work. 347 00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:37,280 And I do an exercise that was not overly common, but called a 348 00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:39,960 land main rotation, which is basically used in the Olympic 349 00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:45,800 bath to rotate with, but it's mostly cables and bands and 350 00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:48,600 medicine, bold rotations, all that sort of stuff just to 351 00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:52,240 strengthen the core. And, and again, that's, that 352 00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:56,760 wouldn't be just for, for kids, you know, all age groups, all 353 00:20:56,760 --> 00:20:59,840 levels of, of, of, of fitness about they should be doing some 354 00:20:59,840 --> 00:21:02,160 form of core and rotational work. 355 00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:06,440 And I think for people who are maybe like me and not 356 00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:09,520 necessarily going to a gym at all, they could be intimidated. 357 00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:11,960 You'd be going to a gym, seeing a personal trainer. 358 00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:14,960 But what I find really interesting now calling, as you 359 00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:18,560 mentioned the cables there, you mentioned bands, you mentioned 360 00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:21,360 medicine balls. You're not talking massive 361 00:21:21,360 --> 00:21:24,800 weights like Fokin or trying to lift, you know, 150 kilos off 362 00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:26,760 the bat. So I'd love for you to talk 363 00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:30,520 about that in terms of how you can introduce people with OC is 364 00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:33,240 relatively straightforward exercises that just get them 365 00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:35,080 doing what you're talking about and getting them on that 366 00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:37,800 pathway. Yeah, you could do all that 367 00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:41,840 stuff in the house. I mean, COVID completely changed 368 00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:44,520 everyone's outlook on on working out from the house. 369 00:21:45,120 --> 00:21:48,240 I don't have a single client and that worked out from the house 370 00:21:49,120 --> 00:21:53,840 like P COVID. And whereas now, I mean, I must 371 00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:57,200 have at least a dozen clients that do some form of workout in 372 00:21:57,200 --> 00:22:01,040 the house completely changed. And, you know, and it's not 373 00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:05,040 overly expensive to go and grab, you know, to buy some buns and, 374 00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:07,520 you know, a couple of medicine bowls and you could be doing, 375 00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:11,040 you could be doing all of that in the house because I too, I do 376 00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:12,760 totally get the intimidation factor. 377 00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:16,760 But the gem that is, that is a, you know, a big consideration 378 00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:19,360 for a lot of people. And people just like walking. 379 00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:21,760 I think people enjoy walking out in the house as well. 380 00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:25,600 Yeah, and even for myself, I mean, I definitely do more, but 381 00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:28,880 I've bought a band, I've actually got a couple of bands 382 00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:32,440 and I've got a medicine ball and I'm doing really basic things. 383 00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:37,760 But the impact honestly is phenomenal when it comes to, and 384 00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:41,320 I'll, I'll circle back to this, but you mentioned drained prep, 385 00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:43,480 so we'll talk about that in a wee bit more detail later. 386 00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:47,600 But for me, just even using bands before I start for 5-10 387 00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:50,760 minutes, like I'm not getting tennis elbow anymore. 388 00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:54,600 I'm not getting pain when I'm swinging, my arms feel better, 389 00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:58,000 my forearms, my fingers. So it's really incredible the 390 00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:01,240 difference you can make with just a simple change. 391 00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:04,240 And then of course, if you come out with some delay yourself, 392 00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:06,240 that's just going to multiply all the time. 393 00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:09,640 Yeah, and just like you've mentioned it as well, injury 394 00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:15,400 prevention, especially older, you know, it tweaks elbows, 395 00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:20,360 back, shoulders, just keeping other things strong and and do 396 00:23:20,360 --> 00:23:22,880 you know what's in terms of shoulder health? 397 00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:27,240 There's so much you can do with just bands in the house and just 398 00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:30,320 eating top, you know, rotate a cough issues, all that sort of 399 00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:33,560 stuff. And so you don't need loads and 400 00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:36,960 loads of expensive equipment, just like exactly like you said, 401 00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:40,480 you can get by on, you know, some bands and and a couple of 402 00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:42,560 medicine bowls. Absolutely. 403 00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:45,960 And then when you've been working with these golfers, the 404 00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:49,520 young cats and obviously other golfers as well who are clients 405 00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:53,560 anyway, what are the sort of common weaknesses that you see 406 00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:56,800 in terms of your physicality and things that can work on and make 407 00:23:56,800 --> 00:24:00,040 big improvements on really quickly so. 408 00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:04,800 You know, I wouldn't necessarily necessarily say those anything 409 00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:08,680 like particularly with juniors that would differ from from 410 00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:12,280 adults. And back to what I've said, you 411 00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:16,800 know, previously, most people have have, you know, a week 412 00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:19,920 back, weak hamstrings and weak glutes. 413 00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:24,760 And even if you know, even if they are training, most people 414 00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:28,320 will, will probably, you know, go towards more of the muscles 415 00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:30,720 you can see. So they'll be doing bench press, 416 00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:33,800 they'll be doing maybe a shoulder press, they'll be doing 417 00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:36,720 loads of arm work. They might not be doing a huge 418 00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:39,560 amount of leg work and they'll might not be doing a huge amount 419 00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:42,760 of work for the back. So if you take the average 420 00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:47,440 person, and that's where I would concentrate most of the volume 421 00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:50,400 to begin with. I know that's what I did in 422 00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:54,920 making a first block of training and the first sort of 46 weeks. 423 00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:59,560 But the junior golfers was really focused on the back and 424 00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:01,200 the legs. Right. 425 00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:04,000 Yeah. And what kind of changes have 426 00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:08,040 you seen on them? Honestly, the, the, the four of 427 00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:11,360 them, and I hope they watch this podcast and I'm going to say to 428 00:25:11,360 --> 00:25:14,840 them tonight about it because I can't speak highly enough of 429 00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:16,160 them. They've been, they've been 430 00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:21,560 fantastic and they've went away and like done extra stuff out 431 00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:24,600 with our sessions. I've added them all to my app. 432 00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:27,320 So I've gotten them little bits and bobs and programs to do 433 00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:29,440 well. Well, they're, well, they're not 434 00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:34,600 seeing me and we've seen some really good increases in club 435 00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:37,440 head speed and all the ones are already. 436 00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:40,800 I'm excited to see where it finishes up. 437 00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:44,600 So we'll still got another four or five weeks to run and then I 438 00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:48,040 can start to really look at, you know, because I've got a record 439 00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:50,040 of all the club head speeds before they started. 440 00:25:50,360 --> 00:25:52,640 Right. And more than look at that, 441 00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:56,360 we'll obviously retest that at the end of March and see, you 442 00:25:56,360 --> 00:26:02,120 know, where they end up. But already, you know, like 6 to 443 00:26:02,120 --> 00:26:05,560 8 miles an hour, not just. Huge, right? 444 00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:07,280 I mean. Huge, huge for these guys. 445 00:26:07,360 --> 00:26:11,840 Might be minimum 18 or 25 yards in the air. 446 00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:14,240 Yeah. That's huge for anybody. 447 00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:17,760 Yeah, so I'm excited and I'm going to keep an eye on the 448 00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:23,840 seasons and the four of them and that all, I think that all 500 449 00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:25,560 captain below. Brilliant. 450 00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:28,600 Well, that's awesome. And see them are 15, one of them 451 00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:30,200 is 14. Right. 452 00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:35,320 So a good age and you know, it's like you and I never had 453 00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:37,800 anything like this. Been more grown up as a junior 454 00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:43,120 and but you know, The thing is know if they're not doing it, 455 00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:46,920 then you're getting left behind. Yeah, because somebody's doing 456 00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:49,000 it right. Something else is definitely, I 457 00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:52,880 mean for us. And if you look at some of the 458 00:26:53,120 --> 00:26:56,800 the four were lucky enough to play golf worth mid alley was, 459 00:26:57,200 --> 00:26:59,600 you know, guys like Stevie Paul, we kill it. 460 00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:02,120 They've done the price, you know, way more than any rest of 461 00:27:02,120 --> 00:27:05,640 us and it kind of short. So you take that to fatness. 462 00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:08,080 It's a no brainer. If you're doing it and somebody 463 00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:10,840 else doesn't, you're they're going to fall behind you. 464 00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:13,640 Yeah, Yep. So I'm excited to see where 465 00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:16,720 they'll get to with our club. Head speeds, obviously where 466 00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:19,120 they go straight, I'm not, that's not my concern. 467 00:27:19,120 --> 00:27:20,880 That's not golf course. He's concerned. 468 00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:25,560 I'm just going to add the the club head speed on and the golf 469 00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:27,480 coach can worry about where it's on the field. 470 00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:29,840 We are not. Kenny Monaghan, the guys done a 471 00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:32,080 Strathclyde range or over the Clydeway or whatever. 472 00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:34,080 They can worry about that stuff. Exactly. 473 00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:40,120 Blowing and they call it just more broadly and you're, I think 474 00:27:40,120 --> 00:27:42,040 you're like the example. That's anyway just we have 475 00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:44,880 passion for fatness and and training. 476 00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:48,760 I mean, what have you observed in golf over the years and how 477 00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:50,160 has it changed? What have you seen? 478 00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:52,760 I mean, obviously Tiger is a great example, but what would 479 00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:54,600 you say more broadly just beyond Tiger? 480 00:27:56,800 --> 00:28:02,200 I mean would that be any like college or tour player know 481 00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:06,320 who's not in the gym? I don't think so. 482 00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:08,240 It's probably I'm still in the whole tour. 483 00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:13,120 And it's I mean, as you say, Tiger completely changed the 484 00:28:13,120 --> 00:28:17,600 landscape. Don't have been guys like that 485 00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:21,400 were fat and probably went to the gym like P Tiger. 486 00:28:22,120 --> 00:28:24,840 But he's just he's just taking it to another level. 487 00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:28,760 And I mean, even I'm just flucking through my feet this 488 00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:33,840 morning on Instagram and up pops, you know, Scottish 489 00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:39,160 airflow, Rory, who was all, I think it might have been Justin 490 00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:45,160 Thomas just training on the gym And so that the proper athletes 491 00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:51,080 now and and I you're not getting away with with not doing 492 00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:55,000 anything in the gym and you're just going to get left behind. 493 00:28:55,760 --> 00:28:59,120 And on so many levels, you know, not just the strength and the 494 00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:03,840 club paid speed, but, you know, flexibility, longevity, you 495 00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:06,720 know, engine prevention, all of it. 496 00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:09,560 But Tiger was the one that took it to a different level. 497 00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:12,960 Yeah, and then I was going to just circle back calling on 498 00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:18,400 their own prep. So one of the things, you know, 499 00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:21,640 I need to do way, way better on this, but I've definitely been 500 00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:26,000 doing more with bands. I've got medicine bone that sits 501 00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:29,200 in the car that I take down if I'm having a lot of balls, and 502 00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:32,280 I'm trying to incorporate even before I just play around, to be 503 00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:35,480 honest. But if you talk about just 504 00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:37,840 getting people activated for going out and playing and the 505 00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:41,880 difference potentially of not spending that, what could be 10 506 00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:43,800 minutes, right? And 10 minutes, that's not 507 00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:47,040 ideal, but even 10 minutes, the difference that can make when 508 00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:48,360 you're actually out in the golf course. 509 00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:52,120 Yeah, 100%. I mean, and you don't like the 510 00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:56,160 difference, I suppose, with the pros now and you look at the 511 00:29:56,160 --> 00:29:59,960 routines, they're going to the gym before they before around, 512 00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:05,200 Yeah, all the time. I mean, Justin Rose, I mean, it 513 00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:07,520 came out with Ben just after they won. 514 00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:09,640 Was it in Phoenix a few weeks ago? 515 00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:14,320 He's he's layout, he's there. He was in the gym at 5:00 AM 516 00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:18,680 before he went out. So I know obviously the, the you 517 00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:21,200 know, the amateur golfers on the junior golfers aren't going to 518 00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:24,080 be going to the gym before they go out in the golf course. 519 00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:27,520 But the mobility stretches, you can be doing them in the house, 520 00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:31,800 the house with 0 equipment or just with limited bands. 521 00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:36,800 And I know that's what I do know, you know, SO45 mobility 522 00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:40,840 stretches on the floor before I go out and follow around the 523 00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:43,040 golf. And it just helps immensely 524 00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:47,760 before you go, you know, rather than getting the car, get the 525 00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:50,800 clubs out the button, just straight to swings and then 526 00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:54,680 straight onto the first tee. Yeah, you start double bogey, 527 00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:57,560 Double bogey. Yeah, it's really, I'm testing 528 00:30:57,560 --> 00:31:01,800 like I've reflected on us a lot, especially recently. 529 00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:06,880 You arrange sessions now and you've seen me doing my, my, my 530 00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:09,640 cellular attempts at gaining speed and stuff, which I've been 531 00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:12,680 able to do. And I would say straight out the 532 00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:16,120 gate when I tried that the first time, I went straight to speed 533 00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:18,160 stacks and injured myself and all of that. 534 00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:21,240 So I think it's important for people if they're going to do 535 00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:24,800 some form of speed train or any kind of training just to get the 536 00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:27,240 right direction. And you know, I've been able to 537 00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:32,880 do that a little bit myself now. But when I go and play, and I've 538 00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:37,280 reflected on this a lot recently, there was a rent when 539 00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:41,240 I played and I'd maybe spent, honestly, it was garbage. 540 00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:46,600 It was like 5 minutes, maybe 15 balls dead, about a stretch and 541 00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:49,720 bands out for a couple of minutes and I've went away and 542 00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:54,080 played and I had the ball rubbish, absolutely terrible. 543 00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:56,240 Good thing was I scored dorky, right? 544 00:31:56,240 --> 00:31:59,320 I got away where I've been priced in a reasonable amount. 545 00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:03,160 So I got away where I can get my way around the golf course and 546 00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:06,600 then one of the next teams I played I spent more like 15 547 00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:08,280 minutes, which doesn't say much more. 548 00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:12,120 It's more like 1520 minutes. I've got straight to the barns 549 00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:15,040 first, I've got the medicine ball at the car, doing a bit of 550 00:32:15,040 --> 00:32:18,440 bounce and whatever with that, you know, holding it over the 551 00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:20,360 back of my head and all these kind of things. 552 00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:24,240 And honestly what a difference it made. 553 00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:28,040 No, I didn't play amazing, but I felt so much better. 554 00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:30,400 My swing was in a much better place. 555 00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:33,440 I didn't had it perfect, definitely had it better, felt 556 00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:36,840 more in control of what I was doing and I think that's so huge 557 00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:38,960 for people now. So for those young kids have 558 00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:41,680 been working with you calling, it's a great platform for them 559 00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:43,440 to take forward for their golf every day. 560 00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:47,280 Yeah, if they take, you know, I'm going to be trying to drill 561 00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:50,360 into them though over the last, last kind of four weeks before 562 00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:54,520 the season starts that, you know, to try and do the mobility 563 00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:57,800 stretches at least as I'm kind of minimum before they go out 564 00:32:57,800 --> 00:33:01,600 and play golf. You know, even just like the 565 00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:04,760 thoracic, you know, rotations. I mean, how much does that help 566 00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:06,600 with golf? Like just sitting, just doing 567 00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:10,280 them as you say for 5 minutes before your round could make a 568 00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:12,640 huge difference. Absolutely. 569 00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:16,080 And then, Colin, I mean, it's not just the fitness side in 570 00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:18,760 terms of physical. You obviously look at attrition 571 00:33:18,760 --> 00:33:20,760 as well. So what kind of things should 572 00:33:20,760 --> 00:33:24,480 golfers and everybody in general be thinking about before they go 573 00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:26,920 and play that round? It's like 4 hours long, right? 574 00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:28,600 What kind of things have in mind? 575 00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:32,320 Yeah. So I guess a lot of that comes 576 00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:35,480 down to I'll also come down to tee off time. 577 00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:39,000 Wasn't it like how you lay your tee off timers? 578 00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:46,880 So I, I guess that broadly and protein and carbohydrates and 579 00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:51,840 hydration, hydration is huge. Like, you know, a lot of people 580 00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:54,720 wouldn't drink enough water even the day before. 581 00:33:55,040 --> 00:33:57,840 If you know you're going for a long round or you've got a 2 582 00:33:57,840 --> 00:34:01,880 rounder drinking enough water on the days leading up to so that 583 00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:05,840 you're not, you know, dehydrated, but protein and 584 00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:10,360 carbs on the day. If I speak for myself 585 00:34:10,360 --> 00:34:15,760 personally, I play quite early, so there's no way I'm getting up 586 00:34:15,760 --> 00:34:18,320 and cooking at that time in the morning. 587 00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:22,400 And yeah, the wife bathed on me. You know, I'm out cooking at 588 00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:27,679 7:00 in the morning, so my go to at that time as like overnight 589 00:34:27,679 --> 00:34:32,600 oats, right? So oats, Greek yoga. 590 00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:37,080 And that's something I'll make up the night before, put it in 591 00:34:37,080 --> 00:34:41,080 the fridge, wake up in the morning and they're good to go 592 00:34:41,639 --> 00:34:45,040 and store protein, carbohydrates. 593 00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:51,639 Then I'll take some stuff left me in my bag, maybe like more 594 00:34:51,639 --> 00:34:55,320 water probably. Usually a protein shake, a 595 00:34:55,320 --> 00:35:00,200 protein bar or a protein like flapjack and may have a banana. 596 00:35:01,520 --> 00:35:05,840 If it's a 2 down dog, you might have like a chicken signage or 597 00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:07,960 Turkey sandwich, something like that. 598 00:35:09,840 --> 00:35:12,680 As you are teeing off later and you've got a bit more time 599 00:35:13,320 --> 00:35:17,200 getting up, making some scrambled eggs and toast, like a 600 00:35:17,200 --> 00:35:19,720 bagel and scrambled eggs, something like that. 601 00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:23,080 And then just taking, taking something in your bag. 602 00:35:23,960 --> 00:35:28,400 I mean, if you start to see a pattern, we're at the back end 603 00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:32,080 of rounds, you're feeling fatigued or your concentration 604 00:35:32,080 --> 00:35:34,640 slapping, then the one of the first things I would look at 605 00:35:35,680 --> 00:35:38,800 would be your nutrition. Yeah, totally. 606 00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:41,160 So it's something a lot of people wouldn't even think of. 607 00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:46,360 Well, just my own fell apart the day again. 608 00:35:46,720 --> 00:35:47,840 Again. Yeah. 609 00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:50,960 You know, I said, you know, you track it back, go wrong. 610 00:35:51,240 --> 00:35:52,920 Don't drink any water. John around. 611 00:35:54,200 --> 00:35:59,720 Yeah, it's much when you think back, I mean, even as cuts that 612 00:35:59,920 --> 00:36:02,360 it just wasn't really necessarily on your brain to do 613 00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:07,240 all that stuffy. No, no, it's just time to draw 614 00:36:07,240 --> 00:36:11,240 and the the the kids know you know of like this is really 615 00:36:11,240 --> 00:36:15,720 going to help, especially when the two rounders it becomes even 616 00:36:15,720 --> 00:36:18,600 more important than. Yeah, 2 rounders. 617 00:36:18,600 --> 00:36:20,720 I mean, I, I want to say I dread them. 618 00:36:20,720 --> 00:36:24,560 No, but when through a period loving down here where I hadn't 619 00:36:24,560 --> 00:36:27,520 really played any 2 rounders for a long time and I've tried and 620 00:36:27,560 --> 00:36:31,320 Oh my goodness, it was, it was just torture. 621 00:36:31,520 --> 00:36:34,040 It was brutal. And that was, to be honest, I 622 00:36:34,040 --> 00:36:36,120 was going towards the end of first try and then you're done 623 00:36:36,120 --> 00:36:39,560 is maybe they've got a lunch later on in your street and like 624 00:36:39,560 --> 00:36:42,640 a steak pie. I mean, what you what you think 625 00:36:42,640 --> 00:36:44,440 it's crazy. Yeah, yeah. 626 00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:47,200 Not the best option. Leave the steak tie for after 627 00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:50,080 the second round. Just don't bother. 628 00:36:50,080 --> 00:36:53,800 Chips and cheese is the thing. As you know, anything that's 629 00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:57,840 really, really high in fat, it's just going to set in a start. 630 00:36:58,280 --> 00:37:00,880 You're just going to go in that second round and just feel 631 00:37:01,440 --> 00:37:04,840 lethargic. And then you get to the end of 632 00:37:04,840 --> 00:37:07,360 the end and you start to potentially feel nervous, 633 00:37:07,360 --> 00:37:10,440 excited, although that may be doing more to what you've 634 00:37:10,440 --> 00:37:13,320 actually eaten versus truly how you're feeling physically. 635 00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:15,880 Yeah, yeah. You know, if you haven't eaten 636 00:37:15,960 --> 00:37:19,840 properly, you know your blood sugar levels drop and all that 637 00:37:19,840 --> 00:37:23,080 sort of stuff effects you more and but then you come off the 638 00:37:23,080 --> 00:37:26,280 course and you just blame your blame your swing, don't you can 639 00:37:26,280 --> 00:37:29,120 blame yourself. In the practice area again or 640 00:37:29,120 --> 00:37:32,560 that will solve. Realized maybe looking at your 641 00:37:32,560 --> 00:37:36,280 nutrition and so you know, I would say that for anyone like 642 00:37:36,280 --> 00:37:39,120 listening, if you start to see apart from where you're 643 00:37:39,120 --> 00:37:42,160 struggling at the end of rounds, then look at look at your 644 00:37:42,160 --> 00:37:46,600 nutrition, looking at hydration and before you get yourself too 645 00:37:46,600 --> 00:37:49,800 much of a hard time. Not that you and I have ever 646 00:37:49,800 --> 00:37:57,320 done that colony all each other. So then a couple other 647 00:37:57,320 --> 00:37:59,320 questions. Colin, what's the biggest mouth 648 00:37:59,320 --> 00:38:06,320 and fatness? War that calves or the devil's 649 00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:11,240 work, do you know? I think, I think slowly but 650 00:38:11,240 --> 00:38:16,120 surely, you know, the main set on carbs has changed and now 651 00:38:16,120 --> 00:38:19,880 people know that it's that you need carbohydrates that's your 652 00:38:19,880 --> 00:38:22,200 primary energy source of. Course. 653 00:38:22,600 --> 00:38:27,440 And the problem is, and my clients will just roam the roll 654 00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:29,480 their eyes at this point because they've heard me saying it so 655 00:38:29,480 --> 00:38:32,080 many times. The problem is is when you 656 00:38:32,080 --> 00:38:36,640 combine a lot of carbs and a lot of fat at the same time that 657 00:38:36,640 --> 00:38:38,600 you're on anti problems. OK. 658 00:38:38,600 --> 00:38:44,040 And also without getting, I suppose too deep, and yet if 659 00:38:44,040 --> 00:38:48,760 you're looking at carbohydrate sources, your ideal carbohydrate 660 00:38:48,760 --> 00:38:51,440 sources should have let if you're looking at the labels, 661 00:38:51,920 --> 00:38:54,440 should have less than 10 grams of fat in them. 662 00:38:55,360 --> 00:39:00,400 So if you think about it, porridge oats, high in carbs, 663 00:39:00,760 --> 00:39:05,880 low in fat, rice, white potatoes, all that sort of 664 00:39:05,880 --> 00:39:09,240 stuff, all high in carbs but really low in fat. 665 00:39:09,720 --> 00:39:13,800 And by the same token, your fat source should have less than 10 666 00:39:13,800 --> 00:39:16,880 grams of carbohydrates. Right, there you go. 667 00:39:16,960 --> 00:39:22,920 So saloid steak high in fat, no carbohydrates. 668 00:39:23,480 --> 00:39:27,000 It's when you start to combine the two, that's where you run 669 00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:29,320 into trouble. So if I if you go and pick up 670 00:39:29,320 --> 00:39:33,040 the label on a doughnut, it's going to be sky high on 671 00:39:33,040 --> 00:39:37,760 carbohydrates and fat. That's the foods you want to try 672 00:39:37,760 --> 00:39:41,320 and keep to a minimum. So it's not that calves are the 673 00:39:41,440 --> 00:39:44,840 are that's huge, like evil. You need, your body needs them. 674 00:39:44,840 --> 00:39:49,760 They're actually good for you. And it's combining and lots of 675 00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:52,120 lots of calves and lots of fat at the same time. 676 00:39:52,520 --> 00:39:55,520 And so, yeah, that's that's that's a definitely a method 677 00:39:55,520 --> 00:39:58,000 needs to die on the fatness front. 678 00:39:58,520 --> 00:40:01,640 It's not almost like kind of detox diets and all that kind of 679 00:40:01,640 --> 00:40:06,000 stuff. Most underrated exercise for 680 00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:07,640 golfers? I think you may attach to this 681 00:40:07,640 --> 00:40:16,160 already. Some trap bar, like a trap bar 682 00:40:16,160 --> 00:40:18,440 Dead laughs. Your hex bar deadlift. 683 00:40:18,720 --> 00:40:22,080 If you go and watch any of the pros working out, there's not a 684 00:40:22,080 --> 00:40:27,680 single session that doesn't involve some form of like trap 685 00:40:27,680 --> 00:40:29,440 bar deadlift just because it works. 686 00:40:29,440 --> 00:40:33,040 So many different muscle groups. So if you're only going to do 687 00:40:33,760 --> 00:40:37,320 like one exercise, that might be it. 688 00:40:38,080 --> 00:40:44,040 I'm sure I'll listen to Xander Shawfly on a pod and he said 689 00:40:44,640 --> 00:40:49,360 that when he started lifting heavier on competition days he 690 00:40:49,360 --> 00:40:51,840 actually started playing better. Right it. 691 00:40:52,200 --> 00:40:54,760 Was incredible. That is pretty, yeah. 692 00:40:54,960 --> 00:40:59,040 So he used to stay away from really heavy days like and just 693 00:40:59,040 --> 00:41:00,720 have that during the week. And he said he was starting to 694 00:41:00,720 --> 00:41:04,760 feel fatigued, so he just turned around and started doing not 695 00:41:04,760 --> 00:41:09,800 massive, but like short periods of heavier lifting on the day. 696 00:41:10,400 --> 00:41:13,680 And he said his his game always transformed at that point in 697 00:41:13,680 --> 00:41:15,920 terms of fatness and on the course and how he was feeling. 698 00:41:16,880 --> 00:41:19,960 Well, that would be interesting to see whether that was like I 699 00:41:19,960 --> 00:41:21,560 don't normally. Yeah. 700 00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:26,000 Because I would always program when I get into golf season 9, 701 00:41:26,440 --> 00:41:30,480 I'm programming my heavy strength days away from my 702 00:41:30,480 --> 00:41:33,880 competition days. So Wednesday, Saturday and my 2 703 00:41:33,880 --> 00:41:37,960 competition days. So my heavier lifting days will 704 00:41:37,960 --> 00:41:43,080 be Monday, Thursday probably. And then wrote about your, your 705 00:41:43,080 --> 00:41:47,720 golf and your golf days. You're doing like more 706 00:41:47,720 --> 00:41:52,000 rotational, what explosive, what box jumps, medicine ball slams, 707 00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:53,800 all that kind of stuff. The things that you'll recover 708 00:41:53,800 --> 00:41:57,720 from quickly. And but that, that's quite 709 00:41:57,720 --> 00:41:59,200 interesting. Yeah. 710 00:41:59,600 --> 00:42:01,520 When look at I'll. Find it for you. 711 00:42:02,080 --> 00:42:03,880 Yeah, yeah. I'm interested to hear about 712 00:42:03,880 --> 00:42:06,440 that. And then wrapping up on the 713 00:42:06,440 --> 00:42:09,320 train and if you could train 1 two player, who would it be and 714 00:42:09,320 --> 00:42:13,160 why? Good question. 715 00:42:15,600 --> 00:42:17,880 Like I think the obvious answer would be Tiger. 716 00:42:18,080 --> 00:42:21,320 Do you know what I would? I would just love to set in on 717 00:42:21,320 --> 00:42:24,840 one of Tiger sessions. Yeah, if someone is coming back 718 00:42:24,840 --> 00:42:27,840 from all these different surgeries over the over the 719 00:42:27,840 --> 00:42:32,840 years, yeah, I would love to just set and the the the level 720 00:42:32,840 --> 00:42:37,560 of detail and coaching that he must be getting would be 721 00:42:38,520 --> 00:42:42,520 phenomenal. But if I did pack a like a kind 722 00:42:42,520 --> 00:42:47,840 of current player, I think like see someone like a Justin Rose, 723 00:42:48,520 --> 00:42:52,440 yeah, just a really, really good guy, like some of age. 724 00:42:52,840 --> 00:42:57,320 And I think you I just just would be a really, really good 725 00:42:57,320 --> 00:42:59,760 guy between. Yeah, absolutely. 726 00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:03,800 A tie and see if you can get me any swing taps well in the ton. 727 00:43:04,680 --> 00:43:10,000 So should then I thought when he wins they will jump into some 728 00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:12,520 golf questions call best golf course you've ever played. 729 00:43:17,120 --> 00:43:22,080 Probably probably turn buddy. Nice. 730 00:43:22,480 --> 00:43:25,320 And I like Castle Stewart as well. 731 00:43:25,960 --> 00:43:29,760 Castle Stewart's good day. Brilliant golf course views are 732 00:43:29,760 --> 00:43:31,520 amazing Castle. Shot, then introduced. 733 00:43:31,560 --> 00:43:33,440 Yeah. Last year played with Dang it, 734 00:43:33,560 --> 00:43:38,120 got beat again. Well, you've played Dawn not 735 00:43:38,120 --> 00:43:40,080 don't you? But how would Dawn not rate 736 00:43:40,080 --> 00:43:43,440 against Or don't Stewart and Tundra? 737 00:43:45,800 --> 00:43:50,040 Dawn Look is right at the very top and I'm trying these days 738 00:43:50,040 --> 00:43:53,000 not to put them in order, but Dawn, not Castle Stewart and 739 00:43:53,000 --> 00:43:56,920 Tumblay would be on my top five in Scotland. 740 00:43:56,920 --> 00:43:59,120 Definitely, definitely my top five. 741 00:43:59,120 --> 00:44:02,600 And that includes like Cumniston stuff for that. 742 00:44:02,600 --> 00:44:06,000 So yeah, Castle Stewart really good. 743 00:44:06,560 --> 00:44:09,960 I was lucky that I get Castle Stewart on a really good day and 744 00:44:09,960 --> 00:44:13,160 see when you're standing up in the high but the golf course 745 00:44:13,160 --> 00:44:15,240 looking out to the water. Unreal. 746 00:44:15,480 --> 00:44:19,280 Phenomenon phenomenal and I really enjoyed that. 747 00:44:19,280 --> 00:44:21,880 But yeah, I like Tonbury as well, definitely. 748 00:44:22,160 --> 00:44:24,440 Or Castle Stewart. A Bitter too, I think. 749 00:44:24,880 --> 00:44:27,960 But I wouldn't course you'd love to play a part from Augusta that 750 00:44:27,960 --> 00:44:34,440 you've not been to yet. I think in in Scotland and 751 00:44:34,520 --> 00:44:45,920 they'd either be Donna or the Trump course 1 old Wade and and 752 00:44:45,920 --> 00:44:49,080 obviously that's just fresh in my mind now from 2 weeks ago and 753 00:44:49,080 --> 00:44:51,520 Pebble Beach. Yeah, absolutely. 754 00:44:52,120 --> 00:44:53,680 You're sat and watched, not the TV. 755 00:44:53,680 --> 00:44:56,360 And it's. That looks all right, wasn't it? 756 00:44:57,240 --> 00:44:59,120 Phenomenal. Again, you get just. 757 00:44:59,120 --> 00:45:00,920 Look at those at CP back in the day. 758 00:45:02,880 --> 00:45:09,840 Same sort of views. Best golfer you've ever played 759 00:45:09,840 --> 00:45:14,320 with? So I think it would probably be 760 00:45:14,320 --> 00:45:19,160 Stephen Ahara. So he came to Caldwell Park. 761 00:45:20,160 --> 00:45:23,000 I don't know. It came from colder Blaze. 762 00:45:23,000 --> 00:45:26,280 Then I'm going to guess we might have been 15. 763 00:45:27,080 --> 00:45:31,240 I think you'd have been 14 or 15 years. 14 or 15, I think, And 764 00:45:32,640 --> 00:45:40,560 what he did from like probably the age of 16 to, I don't know, 765 00:45:40,560 --> 00:45:45,040 1920 amateur level was phenomenal. 766 00:45:45,720 --> 00:45:49,120 Yeah. And you're playing medal rounds 767 00:45:49,120 --> 00:45:53,880 with him when he's 1516 and he's hitting 18 greens and 768 00:45:53,880 --> 00:45:57,120 regulation. I watched that. 769 00:45:57,120 --> 00:45:58,880 I genuinely watched him doing that. 770 00:45:58,880 --> 00:46:03,080 It was phenomenal, in fact. I'm just laughing, you know, I'm 771 00:46:03,080 --> 00:46:05,960 sure it was you and I that played with Stephen. 772 00:46:06,040 --> 00:46:09,840 He won the is it a cake couple. That was like the best 2 medal 773 00:46:09,840 --> 00:46:12,360 scores plus on the day. Yeah, yeah. 774 00:46:12,360 --> 00:46:15,360 See, I think maybe two or three monthly medal scores plus on the 775 00:46:15,360 --> 00:46:19,320 day. And he even out in 32 and I made 776 00:46:19,320 --> 00:46:21,520 the bold decision to press them on their bike. 777 00:46:23,040 --> 00:46:25,000 And I was joking you. I said you're not going to press 778 00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:26,240 me as well. You just looked at me. 779 00:46:26,240 --> 00:46:28,880 You're absolutely stupid. And of course I was because he's 780 00:46:28,880 --> 00:46:32,840 short 3 under the back 9. The two of us came off and I 781 00:46:32,840 --> 00:46:36,640 think honestly, Colin, I can't remember somebody shooting sex 782 00:46:36,640 --> 00:46:38,480 under par and looking so easy, easy. 783 00:46:38,480 --> 00:46:40,200 It was ridiculous. Easy. 784 00:46:40,640 --> 00:46:42,200 How many? I don't know how many times he 785 00:46:42,200 --> 00:46:45,560 won the score. The Scottish boys And then did 786 00:46:45,560 --> 00:46:47,000 they not win the British as well? 787 00:46:47,000 --> 00:46:49,440 When the Scottish boys, the British boys and then the 788 00:46:49,440 --> 00:46:50,600 Scottish Archer. Yeah. 789 00:46:51,880 --> 00:46:56,560 Yeah, and obviously Paul, his brother was a really good player 790 00:46:56,560 --> 00:46:59,000 as well, but he was about younger than me said I don't 791 00:46:59,200 --> 00:47:01,080 play. I don't know if cold open a huge 792 00:47:01,080 --> 00:47:07,400 amount of golf with Paul and but I mean TE green and like Stephen 793 00:47:07,400 --> 00:47:11,880 the heart of this just. I've been inflating us a lot 794 00:47:11,880 --> 00:47:16,400 recently that you we'd be sort of judging ourselves against one 795 00:47:16,400 --> 00:47:18,000 of the guys at the club. And I mean they're very 796 00:47:18,000 --> 00:47:20,160 positive. We trying to work with you 797 00:47:20,160 --> 00:47:22,360 without your game and you're like oh of nowhere. 798 00:47:23,160 --> 00:47:25,520 And then you come realization when you get your 40s. 799 00:47:25,520 --> 00:47:27,680 We are saying Stevie was probably they talked on the 800 00:47:27,680 --> 00:47:30,080 amateurs in the world. What were we even fighting? 801 00:47:30,600 --> 00:47:33,640 It's just judging judging yourself against someday you. 802 00:47:33,880 --> 00:47:35,880 You shouldn't even be thanked, but it's crazy. 803 00:47:36,760 --> 00:47:40,680 Yeah, some really good golfers and launched at that point and 804 00:47:40,680 --> 00:47:45,040 obviously you had a few the guys from Wash all and you know some 805 00:47:45,040 --> 00:47:48,080 some great and junior golfers. Yeah. 806 00:47:48,080 --> 00:47:51,560 Well, I'm not sure in terms of guys that were really good too. 807 00:47:52,120 --> 00:47:54,440 Yeah.
