Bruce & Tom sit down with movement expert and performance consultant Mark Bull at the stunning Cumberwell Park. From junior golf memories in Somerset to biomechanics labs and Ryder Cup insight, Mark takes us on a journey through his holistic philosophy on coaching, movement, and human performance.

We explore why technique isn’t everything, how beliefs shape behaviour, and why the best swing thoughts might be no thoughts at all. There’s chat about caffeine, chaos theory, kinematic sequences, and even the art of drawing leaves with his daughter. Plus, reflections on Luke Donald, Johnny Wilkinson, and why comfort is the killer of progress.

This is more than a golf podcast — it’s a masterclass in how we move, learn, and evolve.

Highlights include:

• Why “getting worse before getting better” might be a myth
• The problem with predigested learning and “coach insurance”
• What the feet can tell us about the eyes (yes, really)
• How to remove rather than add swing thoughts
• Mark’s 4-player Lisbon case study on movement causes
• “The only thing you truly own is the way you choose to see something”

Grab a coffee (but maybe not three flat whites), settle in, and prepare to see golf – and learning – through a completely new lens.
