There are certain structures 28 00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:33,700 routines and habits that are keys to developing high levels 29 00:01:33,700 --> 00:01:37,900 of skill and performance at any task and maybe you have picked 30 00:01:37,900 --> 00:01:40,100 some of these out during our series when we've been sitting 31 00:01:40,100 --> 00:01:43,000 down with two or prose. We've heard all kinds of 32 00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:45,500 different environments and practice structures that have 33 00:01:45,500 --> 00:01:48,400 helped or prose succeed. By the way, we have another 34 00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:51,900 episode with Scott. Stallings coming out next week 35 00:01:51,900 --> 00:01:54,100 and that how to be a tour pro series, don't miss that. 36 00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:55,700 That. But today, we're going to look 37 00:01:55,700 --> 00:01:59,800 at that in a more Global or national scale. 38 00:02:00,300 --> 00:02:03,100 We're sitting down with two coaches in the Gulf, Australia 39 00:02:03,100 --> 00:02:06,800 system to learn about how their coaching Junior golfers and 40 00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:10,300 their results and stories. They've seen coming through this 41 00:02:10,300 --> 00:02:14,200 golf Australia program. The two most high-profile 42 00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:16,900 players us suppose that have come through this program and 43 00:02:16,900 --> 00:02:20,800 very much through this process, whether it be with myself or 44 00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:25,200 whether it be with Richie Smith, it catches up, And through the 45 00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:28,100 gulf Australia program in general or become Smith and the 46 00:02:28,108 --> 00:02:30,500 men's side of the game, am injili, who, you know, she's up 47 00:02:30,500 --> 00:02:33,900 to World, she's up to world number on a mum to in the work 48 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:37,900 Rolex rankings now, and she is just a great example of someone 49 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:41,500 who took all of this on board really owned it. 50 00:02:41,500 --> 00:02:44,900 And decided to apply it worked incredibly hard with these kind 51 00:02:44,900 --> 00:02:47,400 of structures and and her results have just been 52 00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:52,600 phenomenal. In this episode, we are going to 53 00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:55,100 dive into all the details. Al's of that structure and the 54 00:02:55,108 --> 00:02:58,000 concepts that have gotten results. 55 00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:01,400 We have two guests today with it which have to really unique and 56 00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:03,100 different roles in the development process. 57 00:03:03,300 --> 00:03:05,500 Our first guest we have heard from him before. 58 00:03:05,500 --> 00:03:07,800 This is Nick. Randall, my name's Nick. 59 00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:10,100 Randall. I am a strength and conditioning 60 00:03:10,100 --> 00:03:13,100 coach. I'm the owner of golf fitpro and 61 00:03:13,100 --> 00:03:16,600 I've been lucky enough to be involved with golf and the 62 00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:20,500 physical side of golf from the last seven or eight years. 63 00:03:21,100 --> 00:03:25,600 Working with anyone from your average Club golf, Two Juniors 64 00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:30,500 as young as 10 and 11 through 20 3 to 12, players, and Cameron 65 00:03:30,500 --> 00:03:32,700 Smith. Who I've worked with for the 66 00:03:32,700 --> 00:03:34,600 entire duration, about seven or eight years. 67 00:03:35,700 --> 00:03:38,400 Our second guest fills, the other end of that Spectrum. 68 00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:41,300 As the golf instructor, not emerge Applause. 69 00:03:41,500 --> 00:03:44,700 I'm originally from New Zealand, moved over to the Gold Coast 70 00:03:44,700 --> 00:03:47,900 back in 2012. I'm now director of instruction 71 00:03:47,900 --> 00:03:52,100 here at KTB sport. Golf Academy whereby, we are 72 00:03:52,108 --> 00:03:56,100 focused on developing athletes. Anywhere from five years old, 73 00:03:56,100 --> 00:03:59,500 all the way out to our players. We currently have approximately 74 00:03:59,500 --> 00:04:03,600 130 players inside of our Junior Academy, enter. 75 00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:06,500 Then the mini tours and professional tours around the 76 00:04:06,500 --> 00:04:09,000 world. Alongside that I'm also involved 77 00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:11,700 with the the gulf Australian National program as well. 78 00:04:11,700 --> 00:04:15,600 So, one of the high performance coaches, the coaches at state 79 00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:20,600 level without Queensland State teams and state junior, squads 80 00:04:20,899 --> 00:04:24,000 and developing players through the state system. 81 00:04:24,100 --> 00:04:26,700 System enter into their National events. 82 00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:34,500 Alright, let's talk about structure and get a bit of 83 00:04:34,508 --> 00:04:36,800 understanding of how golf is trillion. 84 00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:40,300 Works starting out with how they get on the team. 85 00:04:40,300 --> 00:04:43,100 How did yunior go about getting on this national team? 86 00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:49,900 The way our state system works is essentially we have 87 00:04:49,900 --> 00:04:53,000 tournaments that are running throughout the year and from 88 00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:55,800 those tournaments, the state level tournaments with the 89 00:04:55,800 --> 00:05:00,100 national tournaments players will then be selected. 90 00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:04,200 And into State Squad, which would typically consist of 91 00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:08,400 around about 40 athletes. And that there's generally 92 00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:14,900 between the age groups of 14 14, 15 to 17 years old eligible for 93 00:05:14,900 --> 00:05:20,400 the junior State team and I guess inside of those Squad we 94 00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:25,300 then go into Squad trainings on monthly basis has whereby the 95 00:05:25,300 --> 00:05:29,900 state coaches myself and three other coaches, essentially, run 96 00:05:29,900 --> 00:05:30,900 sessions. In Zen. 97 00:05:30,900 --> 00:05:35,800 And from there encompassing then ongoing tournaments that Squad. 98 00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:39,900 Then basically gets reduced down until estate team is is 99 00:05:39,900 --> 00:05:44,500 announced and and then all of the states around Australia come 100 00:05:44,500 --> 00:05:48,000 together to have an interstate series which is the largest 101 00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,700 store. I guess the Pinnacle of state 102 00:05:50,700 --> 00:05:55,100 level golf here in Australia. So the goals for the kids is 103 00:05:55,100 --> 00:05:59,000 essentially to make that make that team but inside of the 104 00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:02,300 process, obviously. A lot of them, the younger ones 105 00:06:02,300 --> 00:06:05,100 are going to be inside of that system for some years. 106 00:06:05,100 --> 00:06:09,400 So it's our objective as coaches to help develop those skills 107 00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:14,300 along with their home coaches and provide, I guess a platform 108 00:06:14,300 --> 00:06:18,000 for them to keep continuing development. 109 00:06:18,300 --> 00:06:21,000 One of the things that happens along this way is that golfers 110 00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:23,900 train and compete as a team, they create these teams whether 111 00:06:23,900 --> 00:06:26,700 it's by State or region or whatever might be in that 112 00:06:26,700 --> 00:06:29,700 atmosphere that environment has some real advantages. 113 00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:34,300 Putting the players into teams or into squads or groups, is I 114 00:06:34,300 --> 00:06:39,000 think is an underutilized skill with, with coaching in the sense 115 00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:43,500 where by very rarely do we are we able to get the players 116 00:06:43,500 --> 00:06:48,500 competing outside of normal competition and tourneys? 117 00:06:48,500 --> 00:06:54,500 So being able to observe the players from their body language 118 00:06:54,500 --> 00:06:58,400 from their self talk, how they deal with adversity, what 119 00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:01,600 decisions they go through. Decision making processes that 120 00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:04,600 go through when we set up skills challenges for them. 121 00:07:04,900 --> 00:07:08,300 And from my point of view trying to make the trainings as 122 00:07:08,300 --> 00:07:12,100 uncomfortable as possible. So finding the players currency 123 00:07:12,100 --> 00:07:14,200 what makes the what puts them under pressure. 124 00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:18,700 So, for some players that might be playing for five dollars for 125 00:07:18,700 --> 00:07:20,700 some, it might be physical for others. 126 00:07:20,700 --> 00:07:23,000 It might be singing in front of the group, but we got to find 127 00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:25,700 that currency for the player, and make them feel a little 128 00:07:25,700 --> 00:07:27,800 uncomfortable. So we can actually see how they 129 00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:32,200 deal with with the situations. Is that would closely simulate 130 00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:36,200 that of tournament golf. So the more we can get them 131 00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:40,800 training in that environment, we see, then the transition, then 132 00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:44,700 out into the tournament, the tournament realm of being a lot 133 00:07:44,700 --> 00:07:47,000 more, they can deal with those pressures. 134 00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:50,100 They can deal with that environment with a lot more. 135 00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:56,500 I guess I wouldn't say he's but, but definitely be comfortable in 136 00:07:56,600 --> 00:08:06,000 being uncomfortable. So, each state has their own 137 00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:09,700 program, most of the states Now operate under under the one, 138 00:08:09,700 --> 00:08:12,900 golf system Cordy, which is, which is the national program 139 00:08:12,900 --> 00:08:17,400 and it has several tiers to it. So we have Tier 1 through 2 tier 140 00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:21,600 4, Tier 1 being the rookie program which is consists of 141 00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:24,400 players. Typically out onto a, the likes 142 00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:29,000 of minzhi, Cameron Etc, who are already out there there as 143 00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:31,900 professionals. And then we have the tier 2, 3 & 144 00:08:31,900 --> 00:08:38,400 4, Or which is the at the state level whereby, the squads are, I 145 00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:42,000 guess then progressively from Ted to a limited number of 146 00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:46,500 players, get all of the service providers train with a high 147 00:08:46,500 --> 00:08:50,300 frequency it down to the tier 4, which was the earlier program. 148 00:08:50,300 --> 00:08:52,800 I spoke about with the junior squads. 149 00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:58,100 So and then all have a sliding scale of funding with inside of 150 00:08:58,100 --> 00:09:01,400 the national program. Yeah, it's basically all 151 00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:05,900 government-funded And each state has a set of coaches strength 152 00:09:05,900 --> 00:09:10,300 coach Physio and then they'll have their own selection 153 00:09:10,300 --> 00:09:13,300 criteria, but it's fairly mirrored in each state. 154 00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:16,600 And we're constantly working towards trying to trying to 155 00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:18,500 improve this, improve the service provision. 156 00:09:18,500 --> 00:09:21,600 Each state, we don't have a huge amount of money, so often, you 157 00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:25,000 know, these coaches are very good coaches in their own, right 158 00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:27,900 and have successful businesses, and they are often taking a bit 159 00:09:27,900 --> 00:09:31,200 of a pay cut to come and do state work-based work. 160 00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:34,800 But it's Incredibly rewarding to be part of the system that 161 00:09:34,900 --> 00:09:41,700 focuses on athlete development. All right, so we have these 162 00:09:41,700 --> 00:09:45,800 different squads created. Now, let's talk about the kind 163 00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:49,600 of coaching in the work that is going on a day-to-day basis. 164 00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:53,200 Now, coaching is so diverse, right? 165 00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:57,700 So, when the players with us and a one-on-one environment down at 166 00:09:57,700 --> 00:10:00,800 the Academy, that's a great opportunity to work on on 167 00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:02,600 movement patterns and technical skills. 168 00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:05,900 But when it comes time to taking teams or players away to 169 00:10:05,900 --> 00:10:09,800 tourneys, essentially, where we're managing all of the, the 170 00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:12,900 controllable, Act is basically how they travel, how they 171 00:10:12,900 --> 00:10:16,200 prepare for the day, how they prepare for the week, gets the 172 00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:19,600 emotional management of the ups and downs that come with 173 00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:22,900 tournament golf and trying to get the team to all work 174 00:10:23,100 --> 00:10:26,900 collectively together to produce the best results. 175 00:10:26,900 --> 00:10:32,100 So from a coaching perspective went on the road with players, 176 00:10:32,100 --> 00:10:35,100 it's more of the human skill development rather than I guess 177 00:10:35,100 --> 00:10:38,700 the the golf skill development even though you know we provide 178 00:10:38,700 --> 00:10:42,100 those Services when the play is Leslie asked us whether it be 179 00:10:42,100 --> 00:10:45,700 post around or post tournament to provide feedback. 180 00:10:45,700 --> 00:10:50,700 But so, yes, at the human skill, development of the players is 181 00:10:50,700 --> 00:10:54,100 huge for us when an eternal week when it comes to a training 182 00:10:54,100 --> 00:10:56,600 environment. When we have the biggest squads, 183 00:10:56,600 --> 00:11:00,100 whether it be 40 athletes at a time or and when the squad's 184 00:11:00,100 --> 00:11:04,200 reduced to ten twelve athletes that's done what still more 185 00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:06,400 competitive sessions. So when the players will 186 00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:10,500 together, we use that time to get the players competing. 187 00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:13,300 Against each other from a skills skills point of view. 188 00:11:13,700 --> 00:11:16,700 I think that's probably one of the things that's underutilized 189 00:11:16,700 --> 00:11:20,700 and golf coaching is actually when we have more than one 190 00:11:20,700 --> 00:11:24,600 player with us at one time, it's a great opportunity to actually 191 00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:27,200 provide a bit of that competitive atmosphere, and, 192 00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:30,800 and, and build some resiliency within the athletes. 193 00:11:36,300 --> 00:11:39,500 An important thing to note there and Richard touch on this is 194 00:11:39,500 --> 00:11:43,100 that when you go away for tournaments, it's and this 195 00:11:43,100 --> 00:11:46,700 builds into the whole ethos of God first, raelia the kpis for 196 00:11:46,700 --> 00:11:47,800 Australia. I forgot. 197 00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:50,200 Australia. A top 100 players in the world 198 00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:54,600 in the Pro ranks in, really. It's about trying to develop the 199 00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:57,900 athletes and the gulf is in our squads to that level. 200 00:11:58,300 --> 00:12:02,000 And they're not going to get into the top 100 age 16. 201 00:12:02,100 --> 00:12:04,100 In 17 playing an amateur tournaments. 202 00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:08,500 And so it's not necessarily a results-focused program, it's 203 00:12:08,500 --> 00:12:11,900 much more about development than a when we go away we sometimes 204 00:12:11,900 --> 00:12:15,500 get kicked back from some of the athletes because we're really 205 00:12:15,500 --> 00:12:18,900 trying to promote that they do. What we consider is best 206 00:12:18,900 --> 00:12:22,000 practice with regards to warm-ups cooldowns, preparation 207 00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:24,800 nutrition, and that might actually be quite a long way, 208 00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:27,900 from what the athlete actually perceives is best for their 209 00:12:27,900 --> 00:12:30,400 current level of performance. And, and so, it's always a 210 00:12:30,408 --> 00:12:34,200 really interesting. Yeah, when you get what's best 211 00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:36,900 practice as far as golf Australia, and golf Queensland, 212 00:12:36,900 --> 00:12:40,200 consider it and then what the athlete needs for a short-term 213 00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:43,300 performance. And so, managing that is, is a 214 00:12:43,308 --> 00:12:46,200 real skill, I think. And it's something that that we 215 00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:49,300 try and work hard to make sure we get that balance, right? 216 00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:53,500 And getting the players to reflect on that post on and 217 00:12:53,500 --> 00:12:54,900 because it is a big part of that. 218 00:12:54,900 --> 00:12:58,900 So, part of their reporting process back and my reporting 219 00:12:58,900 --> 00:13:01,600 process back up being the players to actually take 220 00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:03,600 ownership. Above those of those elements 221 00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:08,200 that Nick just pointed out. Definitely is a big part of 222 00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:11,700 what's necessary for their for their development and that that 223 00:13:11,700 --> 00:13:14,500 self awareness and building that, I guess that 224 00:13:14,500 --> 00:13:17,400 accountability on that on their behalf that, you know, don't 225 00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:20,100 just throw technique under the bus, when you play poorly. 226 00:13:20,100 --> 00:13:22,500 You know what other factors actually might have come into 227 00:13:22,500 --> 00:13:25,700 it, whether it be hey, you slept, or how you prepared the 228 00:13:25,708 --> 00:13:28,600 day before, or what food? You ate on the golf course, 229 00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:31,200 whatever it may be. So trying to take tape, trying 230 00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:33,200 to take an all-of-the-above. I guess that. 231 00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:36,900 Yeah, those holistic factors outside of just technique of 232 00:13:36,900 --> 00:13:40,400 just golf swing. We have, we have a quite a small 233 00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:43,700 player base here in Australia. We don't have, we don't have 234 00:13:43,700 --> 00:13:47,000 millions of kids to draw upon. And so we feel as though we need 235 00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:51,000 to try and do the best job possible of developing these 236 00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:52,800 athletes. The considering we don't have 237 00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:54,600 that many of them. We can't just churn and burn, 238 00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:56,600 and put them in a competitive environment, and just pick out 239 00:13:56,600 --> 00:14:00,200 the ones that do the best. Let's say that you wanted to 240 00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:02,300 train like a golf Australia. Yeah. 241 00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:05,800 Junior write a day in the life or a week in the life of that 242 00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:07,300 person. What would it take? 243 00:14:07,300 --> 00:14:09,700 What would your day look like? Let's get to it. 244 00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:12,500 We run sessions where by essentially let's say for 245 00:14:12,500 --> 00:14:15,900 example is the squad session. They'll maybe do two hours 246 00:14:15,900 --> 00:14:19,300 training with myself whereby we can be working on the golf 247 00:14:19,300 --> 00:14:23,600 skills in any capacity then they're going to be going and 248 00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:28,000 working in the in the gym with the SMC coach whether it be near 249 00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:31,000 core. Ashley one of our SMC trainers 250 00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:34,900 here and there To be working on Mobility, flexibility strength, 251 00:14:34,900 --> 00:14:38,400 depending on what phased are in during the year and what 252 00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:42,800 tournaments they have coming up. So they've got programs relative 253 00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:47,600 to what events they have Vaughn. And then testing every eight to 254 00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:51,100 ten weeks as well, just to monitor, where they're at. 255 00:14:51,100 --> 00:14:56,900 And, and to re-evaluate programs from there on in from the age 256 00:14:56,900 --> 00:15:00,800 group of five years up in the Junior Academy, they're going to 257 00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:03,800 be spending. At least 50 percent of their 258 00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:07,400 time on movement and coordination skills examples of 259 00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:10,100 throwing balls catching moving in different directions. 260 00:15:10,100 --> 00:15:13,600 Jumping plyometric based activity. 261 00:15:13,900 --> 00:15:15,900 Bringing their movement skills up. 262 00:15:15,900 --> 00:15:21,200 So basically their body IQ is accelerated and and then from 263 00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:24,600 there, then their ability to take on the information 264 00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:27,400 regarding the golf skills is actually from a coaching point 265 00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:31,600 of view, as as much, much, much more attainable, just by having 266 00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:33,700 have In those movement, skills locked in. 267 00:15:38,100 --> 00:15:39,700 Some of the biggest things that stand out to me. 268 00:15:39,700 --> 00:15:41,900 Here is this? Look at holistic development, 269 00:15:41,900 --> 00:15:43,100 right? It's something that's so 270 00:15:43,100 --> 00:15:46,200 important and we've talked so much about but golf skills, 271 00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:49,300 athletic skills, physical skills, mental skills, and it's 272 00:15:49,300 --> 00:15:52,600 not just a look at golf swing technique getting good. 273 00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:54,900 At golf. Does not just mean, working on 274 00:15:54,900 --> 00:15:57,600 your golf, swing on the driving range at this point, you know, 275 00:15:57,600 --> 00:15:59,000 through all of our conversations. 276 00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:03,000 What I hope that is abundantly clear in that there needs to be 277 00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:07,000 a holistic approach towards Improvement as an athlete as a 278 00:16:07,008 --> 00:16:10,300 person. And I want to quickly look, you 279 00:16:10,300 --> 00:16:15,200 know, diving in here at some of the tools and the tack that are 280 00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:18,700 is being used along this journey because there are a lot of 281 00:16:18,700 --> 00:16:20,700 different, you know, things available at this point. 282 00:16:20,700 --> 00:16:23,900 What are the things that Nick and Richard are using, you know, 283 00:16:23,900 --> 00:16:29,900 with their people on a regular basis We're big, big fan of 284 00:16:29,900 --> 00:16:33,000 testing. So we definitely use trackman 285 00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:35,700 with with every testing procedure. 286 00:16:36,100 --> 00:16:39,900 And then from a day-to-day point of view, in terms of the 287 00:16:39,900 --> 00:16:43,800 squad's, with every player, they use a gravity fit T Pro. 288 00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:46,400 So we give them one of those at the start of every term for 289 00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:49,100 every player and that's one of our non-negotiables. 290 00:16:49,100 --> 00:16:52,400 They turn up with at the squad session. 291 00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:55,800 Early they go, they've got a program they run with gravity 292 00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:59,400 fit with the T Pro warm-up. So That's one of the cool things 293 00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:03,300 about about the culture of our program is the kids. 294 00:17:03,300 --> 00:17:08,099 Now, just turn up straight away, put their T Prime on get into 295 00:17:08,099 --> 00:17:11,500 their great posture work on their movement skills. 296 00:17:11,500 --> 00:17:15,800 So by the time we actually get the warm-up underway that are 297 00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:20,400 already very self, aware of what they need to do, outside of 298 00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:25,300 that, we use balance, lab science, emotion, gasps cave, 299 00:17:25,300 --> 00:17:30,000 s3d and you know, A bunch of other training AIDS from its 300 00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:32,900 time. But yeah, I guess track, man, 301 00:17:32,900 --> 00:17:36,800 and and gravity fit would be two of my best tools that we use as 302 00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:38,500 well as that and then obviously is the Players. 303 00:17:38,500 --> 00:17:42,400 Develop the 3D analysis neck. I think last time I asked you, 304 00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:44,900 you had a couple things. I feel like I've asked you this 305 00:17:44,900 --> 00:17:46,100 question before. Yes. 306 00:17:46,100 --> 00:17:49,900 And my favorite equipment that I will use outside of outside of a 307 00:17:49,908 --> 00:17:52,300 gym environment, which is, you know, the normal barbells 308 00:17:52,300 --> 00:17:54,700 dumbbells, kettlebells resistance bands, Etc. 309 00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:57,700 I like players to travel with pieces of equipment. 310 00:17:57,900 --> 00:18:00,100 I like him to travel with the foam roller. 311 00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:03,200 Rumble, roller is my favorite, a spiky ball. 312 00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:05,600 There's a both for self massage and self-release. 313 00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:08,900 Being able to manage the quality of your soft tissue on the road. 314 00:18:08,900 --> 00:18:11,800 I got both of those after our last interview, they're sitting 315 00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:15,900 about, hopefully getting some goodies sad, that they are 316 00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:19,800 obviously I think everybody knows I'm a big fan of gravity 317 00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:22,600 fit and been involved with the company for a number of years. 318 00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:26,100 Huge fan of what they do we've actually got a new exciting 319 00:18:26,100 --> 00:18:30,400 product coming out soon which is The active G, the active G suit, 320 00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:33,800 which is a wearable technology that incorporates all of the 321 00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:36,600 Gravity fit stuff into into something you can wear, but 322 00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:40,500 we'll save that for another day. And then, the other big thing 323 00:18:40,500 --> 00:18:45,900 is, I use a, an accelerometer called a push Band by made, by 324 00:18:45,900 --> 00:18:50,600 train with push, which is basically a way of objectively 325 00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:53,000 measuring how fast someone's moving in various different 326 00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:56,300 movements, which is, which has been absolutely invaluable. 327 00:18:56,300 --> 00:19:01,000 Change the way I Change the way I run sessions can, for example 328 00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:03,300 has his own. So I only see cam once every six 329 00:19:03,300 --> 00:19:05,800 weeks, I travel over to states to spend a week with him. 330 00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:09,300 And so in those five weeks when I'm at home and he's in the u.s. 331 00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:13,700 doing his training, he wears his Push band, he tracks, but that 332 00:19:13,700 --> 00:19:18,200 tracks, his movement in the gym and it gives me gives me a 333 00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:22,000 readout of how fast he's moving. How much load is moving, what is 334 00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:24,200 power output is for his gym session? 335 00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:27,900 So I can, I can keep on his case and making sure he's lifting The 336 00:19:27,900 --> 00:19:30,800 right loads of the write speeds. So the other thing I have my 337 00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:35,200 office is the gravity fit stuff. So I throw it on, I work in my 338 00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:38,500 office sitting in a chair or on one of those exercise balls and 339 00:19:38,500 --> 00:19:40,800 then I throw the gravity fit on for some reason it feels like 340 00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:43,700 super good just being an incorrect posture. 341 00:19:43,700 --> 00:19:47,100 Like why does it feel so good? That's hopefully, doesn't sound 342 00:19:47,100 --> 00:19:50,300 salesy or anything like that. I apologize in advance to people 343 00:19:50,500 --> 00:19:53,100 but like I am actually curious I like why does that feel good? 344 00:19:53,100 --> 00:19:56,000 And why is that helpful for for me to like throw it on? 345 00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:58,800 After a couple hours of working? Interesting question it. 346 00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:03,000 I think it's difficult to know exactly why you're feeling 347 00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:06,800 feeling good, but I think that we I see I hear similar 348 00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:09,800 sentiments from other people and I feel it for myself as well. 349 00:20:10,100 --> 00:20:11,700 I think it's because it's our natural. 350 00:20:11,900 --> 00:20:16,100 It's a natural position is the position that we are designed to 351 00:20:16,100 --> 00:20:21,100 be in with an upright spine. And with those neutral curves, 352 00:20:21,100 --> 00:20:24,800 especially that kind of Niche or thoracic and certain cervical 353 00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:27,600 curve in our upper spine in our neck. 354 00:20:27,900 --> 00:20:31,700 And then the shoulders set back against that kind of neutral 355 00:20:31,700 --> 00:20:34,600 spine position, that's what were designed to be in. 356 00:20:34,900 --> 00:20:38,900 We're not designed to be hunched over a computer and so, getting 357 00:20:38,900 --> 00:20:41,300 back into a posture that we naturally designed to be. 358 00:20:41,300 --> 00:20:44,000 And I think is that is responsible for feeling good. 359 00:20:44,300 --> 00:20:46,800 And then you can look at some of the other things that come with 360 00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:49,700 a forward and hunched posture where we've got compression of 361 00:20:49,700 --> 00:20:52,300 the vital organs. We squish our gut up against the 362 00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:57,300 stomach and our lungs and inhibits, how, how well you can 363 00:20:57,300 --> 00:20:59,700 breathe. The quotes of your breath, which 364 00:20:59,700 --> 00:21:03,000 has implications for the energy levels and all sorts of other 365 00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:06,100 health factors. So basically sitting upright is 366 00:21:06,100 --> 00:21:08,700 what we're supposed to do. Being hunched over a computer 367 00:21:08,700 --> 00:21:12,800 isn't and gravity fit, I think just helps to promote the former 368 00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:20,800 over the latter. Alright, let's jump over to some 369 00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:23,600 of the training that we're going to talk about with Nick. 370 00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:26,700 Here's a very high level kind of bullet list. 371 00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:32,600 Postural control stability and mobility in the right areas are 372 00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:35,200 absolutely non-negotiables. I think without those three 373 00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:38,700 things, then you're at risk of injury in this kind of strange, 374 00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:42,000 one-sided? Twisty-turny, crunchy sport that 375 00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:44,800 we play. Okay, so we have that list. 376 00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:48,200 Now, let's look at the important actions. 377 00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:50,400 What are some of the issues? Shoes that, you know, juniors 378 00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:52,300 are running into at this high level. 379 00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:58,100 And what can we do about it? Firstly, you need to look at 380 00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:01,400 with a young golfers coming in, especially if they're a good 381 00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:02,900 player. And they've practiced quite a 382 00:22:02,908 --> 00:22:06,200 lot is that their bodies probably already showing signs 383 00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:09,200 of adapting to their golf swing, and it that golf swing is 384 00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:12,900 normally not all that efficient, or they'd found the way to hit 385 00:22:12,900 --> 00:22:14,300 it. Further step possibly can by 386 00:22:14,300 --> 00:22:19,600 hitting High loopy drawers and that often results in a It's a 387 00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:22,800 right-handed golfer that tight right size, their oblique sand, 388 00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:25,300 that lats are really tight, you'll see the right shoulder 389 00:22:25,300 --> 00:22:28,000 and presenting a lot lower than the left. 390 00:22:28,100 --> 00:22:30,100 You might see a slightly hitched up, right? 391 00:22:30,100 --> 00:22:33,200 Hip as well and they'll have all sorts of compensations. 392 00:22:33,900 --> 00:22:37,300 So the first thing is is getting their posture back to a position 393 00:22:37,300 --> 00:22:39,600 that's relatively neutral and that takes them out of the 394 00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:42,500 danger zone for injury. That's absolute number one. 395 00:22:42,500 --> 00:22:45,100 Priority is a, can you stand up straight and can be set up to 396 00:22:45,108 --> 00:22:48,700 the ball and then athletic way from there, I look at trying to 397 00:22:48,700 --> 00:22:52,100 give them them as much exposure to different movements in the 398 00:22:52,100 --> 00:22:55,400 gym as possible. And all of those movements will 399 00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:58,400 have a requirement to be done under with really good postural 400 00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:00,400 control. So we'll do all sorts of 401 00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:02,800 different variations of squats and lunges. 402 00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:07,000 Push movements, pull movements, bracing rotation and I'll try 403 00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:09,600 and give them as much exposure as I can. 404 00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:12,400 So it's different variations of movements in the first couple of 405 00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:14,900 years. Then once they've got a really 406 00:23:14,900 --> 00:23:17,900 good Mastery of those different movements which basically lay 407 00:23:17,900 --> 00:23:20,400 the foundation for For strength and conditioning. 408 00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:24,200 We start to load them and so we start to load them with, with 409 00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:27,000 resistance bands, we start to use their body weight in 410 00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:29,200 different ways that adds more load. 411 00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:32,900 And that gradually starts to develop some strength on top of 412 00:23:33,100 --> 00:23:35,800 the good posture and movement control, they've got. 413 00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:39,500 And then once they're mastering that and then we're talking, 414 00:23:39,700 --> 00:23:42,700 two, three, even four years at this point, you know, if I've 415 00:23:42,700 --> 00:23:45,300 seen an athlete first at the age of 12 are getting up to sort of 416 00:23:45,300 --> 00:23:51,000 16 now, 15, 16, then we can look at Juicing barbells dumbbells. 417 00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:55,000 Kettlebells heavier load working on explosive power and really 418 00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:59,400 trying to develop their physical attributes to the point where we 419 00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:03,400 can increase clubhead speed but without compromising control and 420 00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:06,500 control of posture. But the theme that runs right 421 00:24:06,500 --> 00:24:08,500 through that is is injury prevention. 422 00:24:08,500 --> 00:24:12,500 So, you know, we need to keep them healthy, we're not trying 423 00:24:12,500 --> 00:24:16,500 to develop a top-level golfer at the expense of their physical 424 00:24:16,500 --> 00:24:19,400 health, in the long term. We know that obviously it's So, 425 00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:21,700 only a tiny percentage of players that will actually make 426 00:24:21,700 --> 00:24:24,600 it and so we've got responsibility to build or help, 427 00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:29,300 develop a robust individual and a robust human, that will be 428 00:24:29,900 --> 00:24:33,300 healthy and can enjoy the game for for the rest of their life. 429 00:24:33,300 --> 00:24:36,400 It's not, we're not trying to not trying to break these kids 430 00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:40,500 in in the interest of making them the best they can be uh 16. 431 00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:51,200 I think I should use cameras is the, as the example partly. 432 00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:55,500 Because I've been heavily involved in his development and 433 00:24:55,500 --> 00:24:58,800 his journey and partly because he presents a really good 434 00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:03,100 example of a kid who first presented to me at the age of 15 435 00:25:03,500 --> 00:25:07,400 and he was like he was like a coat hanger with skin draped 436 00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:10,400 over the top of it. Like it was and it was a twisted 437 00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:12,400 coat hanger as well. You know, that he exhibited all 438 00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:15,600 those issues that I told you about that tight right side that 439 00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:19,600 forward and low right shoulder really chronically tight. 440 00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:23,800 Left up a trap and neck. He basically had very little, in 441 00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:27,700 the way of athletic development, or some very stable had big 442 00:25:27,700 --> 00:25:31,100 range of motion issues because of that lack of stability, and 443 00:25:31,100 --> 00:25:33,600 yeah, and he was in pain and discomfort a lot of the time. 444 00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:37,200 So we had to, we had to do a fair bit of work, just to get 445 00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:40,000 him back to a somewhat neutral position with regards to his 446 00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:42,700 posture. A lot of it was kind of pasta 447 00:25:42,700 --> 00:25:43,600 reach. Painting them. 448 00:25:43,700 --> 00:25:46,900 We use the use the gravity fit system heavily for that at the 449 00:25:46,900 --> 00:25:51,600 start which was fantastic. Just basically gave him the Deep 450 00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:54,900 Muscle stimulus and the postural awareness to be able to 451 00:25:55,300 --> 00:25:59,300 basically be able to realize what was in neutral posture and 452 00:25:59,300 --> 00:26:01,400 how we can achieve it and what it felt like. 453 00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:04,700 And then we use that that gravity fit stuff throughout our 454 00:26:04,900 --> 00:26:08,200 gym sessions and incorporated into his practice as well. 455 00:26:08,700 --> 00:26:11,800 So that was from the ages of I would say 15 through 2017. 456 00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:16,700 Teen and cams development was relatively slow, because he was 457 00:26:16,700 --> 00:26:18,500 pretty lazy. Whenever the kid, like it was, 458 00:26:18,500 --> 00:26:20,100 it was hard to get him to do stuff. 459 00:26:20,100 --> 00:26:21,900 I had to spend a lot of one-on-one time. 460 00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:25,100 We were lucky enough to be able to access some, some extra 461 00:26:25,100 --> 00:26:28,600 funding for to, for me to be able to do that, and he needed a 462 00:26:28,608 --> 00:26:32,500 lot of motivation and kind of someone standing over him at the 463 00:26:32,500 --> 00:26:33,900 start. He's better. 464 00:26:35,100 --> 00:26:39,000 So it was a lot of postural, Correction and Mobility range of 465 00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:41,600 motion, basic stability and control. 466 00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:44,500 And then, from there, we progressed in through, into 467 00:26:44,500 --> 00:26:48,000 into, loading them up with, with more traditional strength and 468 00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:51,100 conditioning movements. But that was all balanced on a 469 00:26:51,100 --> 00:26:52,400 schedule. That was pretty intense. 470 00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:54,600 Like, he was one of the best amateur players in the world and 471 00:26:54,608 --> 00:26:59,400 he was traveling all the time and we saw this, we saw this 472 00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:02,400 pattern where he would be at home, he'd get regular attention 473 00:27:02,500 --> 00:27:05,300 is physical his key. Physical attributes would would 474 00:27:05,300 --> 00:27:10,000 improve then he travel slack off a little bit sitting on planes, 475 00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:12,000 playing a lot of golf and you'd see this regression. 476 00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:14,600 And then you come home and get better and then go away and 477 00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:16,500 regress. And so, that was our next 478 00:27:16,500 --> 00:27:21,300 challenge was okay, how we actually going to teach cam what 479 00:27:21,300 --> 00:27:24,200 he needs to be doing when he's on the road and get him to the 480 00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:26,300 point where he realizes how important it is. 481 00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:29,500 And so again, I was lucky enough to access and funding where I 482 00:27:29,500 --> 00:27:33,900 could go out and spend time with them and try and enforce those 483 00:27:33,900 --> 00:27:36,300 those things. And like I mentioned before 484 00:27:36,300 --> 00:27:38,900 there was a bit of kick back, there was a few arguments of 485 00:27:38,900 --> 00:27:41,300 not, I want to do this, I'll feel sore tomorrow or I won't be 486 00:27:41,300 --> 00:27:43,900 able to play my best. Best and was all about trying to 487 00:27:43,900 --> 00:27:45,400 educate him. That this was the right thing 488 00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:48,500 for him in the long term in order to avoid prevention of 489 00:27:48,500 --> 00:27:52,100 injury primarily and he gradually came around to that. 490 00:27:52,100 --> 00:27:56,200 And by the time he turned Pro, when he was 19 and then into his 491 00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:59,300 early years of a professional, he was actually doing a pretty 492 00:27:59,300 --> 00:28:02,300 good job with his maintenance. And we saw instead of 493 00:28:02,300 --> 00:28:04,600 progression regression progression regression. 494 00:28:04,900 --> 00:28:07,500 We saw progression physical attributes when he was at home 495 00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:10,900 and then a maintenance of those attributes when he was away, and 496 00:28:10,900 --> 00:28:13,700 then another progression. We gradually saw him improve and 497 00:28:13,700 --> 00:28:16,800 get stronger, more powerful. And you saw that with this club 498 00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:18,800 head speed as well. When he first came out on Tori, 499 00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:25,900 was 45th in driving distance and now is around 70th, I believe, 500 00:28:25,900 --> 00:28:30,700 and still heading north. So it's been a long slow Journey 501 00:28:30,700 --> 00:28:35,400 with Cameron and it's been difficult at times for both him 502 00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:38,200 and for people working with him. But he's gradually. 503 00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:42,400 Come to the realization physical preparations is Just so 504 00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:44,700 critical. One of the biggest things that 505 00:28:44,700 --> 00:28:47,700 you think about in June development is helping Juniors, 506 00:28:47,700 --> 00:28:51,500 make good progress and growth. But what Creeps in along the way 507 00:28:51,500 --> 00:28:54,800 is often regression. They get really good at a young 508 00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:57,600 age or at a particular age and then as they get older, they 509 00:28:57,600 --> 00:29:00,000 just seem to, you know, other kids go right past them. 510 00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:03,100 Or they never have that same kind of skill that they had. 511 00:29:03,300 --> 00:29:06,900 And one of the reasons is that these physical things and Nick 512 00:29:06,900 --> 00:29:09,000 was talking about our never address with, or never dealt 513 00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:11,300 with that. So, their body just can't cope 514 00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:14,200 with the Ends that they're being was being placed on it and 515 00:29:14,500 --> 00:29:19,100 Richard here is going to talk about why he sees this marriage 516 00:29:19,100 --> 00:29:22,100 of a fitness and training with golf instruction is so crucial 517 00:29:22,100 --> 00:29:25,100 to help mitigate some of these issues over the Juniors 518 00:29:25,100 --> 00:29:28,800 developing and growing off the back of what Nick was just 519 00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:31,700 mentioning. As opposed to, you know, we see 520 00:29:31,700 --> 00:29:32,900 it. We've seen, I've seen this a lot 521 00:29:32,900 --> 00:29:37,000 over the, I guess the last 10 years, where by you see, these 522 00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:41,500 players come to you with age of 15, 16, with the these physical 523 00:29:41,500 --> 00:29:44,200 issues. Is that need to be I guess 524 00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:46,500 addressed with the likes of Nick. 525 00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:50,200 That's where we've taken that that Forefront and and putting 526 00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:54,600 the education and place with not only the junior golfers, but 527 00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:59,700 also the parents right from that five years old or where they 528 00:29:59,700 --> 00:30:01,300 interact with that introduced into the game. 529 00:30:01,300 --> 00:30:05,600 So if we can create that ethos of we're trying to develop the 530 00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:09,600 kids physically from that, I guess that good quality 531 00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:13,300 structural point of view in terms of, Postural awareness, 532 00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:16,600 some strength and some stability and mobility in the right areas, 533 00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:18,300 right? From that young age, we're 534 00:30:18,300 --> 00:30:23,200 getting a buy into whereby. When the kids are, then 1516. 535 00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:26,500 We're not, we're having less of these issues that have come up 536 00:30:26,500 --> 00:30:31,700 over the last five or ten years. So, working alongside Nick, or 537 00:30:31,700 --> 00:30:36,200 one of our other isn't see coach has the ability to, for the 538 00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:39,700 parents to now, see the benefit of that, there's massive. 539 00:30:39,700 --> 00:30:43,600 And from a coaching point of view, it allows Allows us to get 540 00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:47,500 right into really high-quality work with the with the player 541 00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:50,700 and bang on. As Nick said as opposed to 542 00:30:50,700 --> 00:30:53,800 seeing progression regression. A lot of the time we're seeing 543 00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:57,100 that just to re-emphasize, we see the progression and getting 544 00:30:57,100 --> 00:31:00,100 them into even if they're just on their own, just maintaining 545 00:31:00,100 --> 00:31:02,300 what we've done. As long as they're not taking a 546 00:31:02,300 --> 00:31:05,500 step backwards physically, we're always going to be able to push 547 00:31:05,500 --> 00:31:08,800 forward a whole lot quicker. So that's where I see the 548 00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:13,400 relationship with Nick and decency coaches is A is to 549 00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:18,000 accelerate that plays development by not regressing 550 00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:20,400 physically when we're not with them. 551 00:31:20,500 --> 00:31:25,200 So using using tools, along lines of gravity fit is a great 552 00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:29,200 way, we put their one of those kits into every Juniors bag 553 00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:31,800 simply because when we're not with them, as a coach or a 554 00:31:31,808 --> 00:31:36,100 trainer, they have some self-awareness and some I guess 555 00:31:36,100 --> 00:31:40,700 himself coaching tools that they can maintain their physical work 556 00:31:40,700 --> 00:31:44,000 with while we're not with them. I'm so that works on possibly 557 00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:48,300 well. So much, good info here. 558 00:31:48,300 --> 00:31:52,900 So many good unique, takeaways that we can go out and apply, 559 00:31:52,900 --> 00:31:55,600 whether you're a golfer or coach, or whoever you are, you 560 00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:58,900 know, into your training into your performance. 561 00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:03,300 Thank you to Richard.
