Fit For Golf

In this episode of the Fit For Golf Podcast I am joined by Fredrik Correa. Fredrik is an expert in strength and power development, and has particular knowledge in flywheel training. Flywheel training is something I have become very interested in, and use a lot in my own training. 

There is strong evidence supporting it’s value in the scientific literature and as soon as you use it you can feel how it is different to traditional resistance training.

In this episode I am talking with world renowned golf Biomechanics expert, Dr Kwon. 

Dr Kwon has published dozens of peer reviewed golf biomechanics research papers. He also has an extremely impressive biomechanics system called Kwon 3D. In his lab he assesses golfers swings using dual force plates, 3D motion tracking, and high speed camera. With this data Dr Kwon can provide coaching direction towards the players. 

Dr Kwon has worked with hundreds of golfers of all ability levels. 

In this episode we dig into the biomechanics of club head speed, and how you can train it. 

Fit For Golf has a brand new custom made app called Fit For Golf 2.0

In this episode I am delighted to be joined by Martin Bingisser. Martin is very well known in strength and conditioning and track and field circles.
He is a former world class hammer thrower, is now a very highly respected hammer throwing coach, and works with a variety of sports in strength and conditioning.

There are many parallels between developing the ability to throw far and swing fast and the goal of this episode was to learn as much from Martin as we could!

In this episode we cover a lot of topics related to the mind and performance, misconceptions Dr Grevlos sees in the golf psychology world, the value of meditation for golfers, how neuroplasticity changes with age, and the key role of focus during practice for making changes in how we move. 

Just a reminder before we get started that Fit For Golf has it’s own app with programs to suit all levels of golf and fitness. There are options for at home and at the gym, and if you’re skeptical about getting started there are workouts of just 5 minutes in duration!

Greg Grosicki, Ph.D., CEP,  is an Associate Professor in the Department of Health Sciences and Kinesiology and Director of the Exercise Physiology Laboratory in Georgia Southern University.

Greg is extremely interested in how we can alter lifestyle to  positively influence physical capacity as we age. He is also a high level endurance athlete, having completed Ironman Hawaii in 9 hours and 22 mins.

I first came across his work reading a research paper he was the lead author on that investigated the effects of aging on slow and fast twitch muscle fiber mass, strength, and power. 

In this interview we dig into what he found, and how you can implement this information to age more athletically. 

If you are interested in a high level of physical function into later years for both golf and life, this is one you will enjoy.

After a 5 month break, the Fit For Golf Podcast is back, and I hope to bring you more frequent episodes. In today’s episode I talk with Greg Lehman, who is a trained chiropractor, physical therapist, and strength and conditioning coach. Greg is a very keen golfer and has also done some of his research studies in golf. 

We talk about the differences and similarities between chiros and physios, common misunderstandings, good vs bad practice, and things to look out for with a practitioner if you are looking for one. 

We also delve into whether swing mechanics can predict the likelihood of injury, the science of stretching, and why most things touted as improving recovery really don’t do much.

Just before we get started I want to let everyone know of a promotion that is currently running on the Fit For Golf App. You can try the app for $1 for 1 month by using the discount code TRYFFG. Go to fitforgolf.app to sign up for the app and take advantage of this offer. 
There are home and gym workout programs suitable for all levels of fitness and golf skill.

In this episode I am joined by Erik Barzeski. Erik is an excellent golf coach whom I have personally worked with on my own game through video analysis of swings recorded at rage sessions, which were absolutely fantastic.

I first learned about Erik after reading the book he co authored, Lowest Score Wins.
I reached out to Erik to let him know how impressed I was by the book, and we have stayed in contact since, discussing a wide range of golf improvement related topics.

I am always impressed with Erik’s knowledge, so was glad to finally have him as a guest on the podcast.

Jason Ochart is the guest in this episode. Jason has an extensive background working in baseball, specifically trying to help hitters increase their swing speed. He works for Driveline, a baseball performance training organisation taking the baseball world by storm, and was recently hired by the Boston Red Sox to be their director of hitting and program design.

I was very curious to Pick Jason’s brain about the assessment and training of baseball hitters trying to increase swing and see if there was things we could transfer to golf.

Jason brought a wealth of information and I hope you enjoy learning from him as much as I did.
