Austin Einhorn from Apiros Performance joins us in this episode to share his experience working with high level athletes but utilizing some very unique and in many ways transformative methods to enhance their movement, body awareness, and overall athletic potential.

Austin came from a background of traditional strength training education, but soon realized that there were some missing pieces when he started learning some other more rehabilitative and therapeutic techniques.  It was then that he discovered some of the principles of Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization (DNS) and some other techniques that really opened his eyes to a whole new way of working with athletes.  He has since been honing his craft and is now working with some of the top athletic programs and professional athletes in many different sports.

Trillium Rose, Head of Instruction at Woodmont Country Club in Rockville, MD and motor learning specialist joins us in this episode to share her experience in the world of golf, and especially in helping golfers improve through the use of practicing better and smarter.

As a golf instructor, Trillium soon realized that most golf instructors taught the "WHAT" to do, but the real issue is not the "WHAT," but the "HOW."  And after years of working with students, she decided to challenge herself by going back to school, The Teachers College at Columbia University, to dig into the reasoning and true science behind how we learn.

Dr. Kyler Brown from Austin Sports Therapy joins is an expert in working with athletes and other individuals to overcome injuries, or other issues that may be impairing their performance, whether than be on the course, on the field, or simply in everyday life.

Kyler's background as a former collegiate athlete and his training as a chiropractor have helped him develop a very integrated approach to healing and treatment.  Rather than simply look at a diagnosis of one particular body part, Kyler explains why it's so important to treat the individual as a whole instead of separate pieces.

What does every golfer on the planet want?  To prevent bogies!!  Yes, of course we all want to birdie every hole, but let’s face it, most golfers are not single digit players and if they could play better than “Bogey Golf” they would be ecstatic. There is a lot that plays into making your game […]

Shawn Stevenson is the man when it comes to sleep.  Literally, Shawn wrote the book on sleep.  I have to say that in recent months, I have been hearing more about the importance of recovery and sleep in some mainstream conversations, which is awesome.  But this guy has been talking about this for years.  Not not just talking, but studying, digging into research, and presenting it in a way that millions of people are loving!

With his revised best selling book Sleep Smarter: 21 Essential Strategies to Sleep Your Way to a Better Body, Better Health and Bigger Success, and his #1 Health and Fitness podcast, The Model Health Show, Shawn is bringing an awareness of the importance of sleep to the masses.  And in today's episode, he expands on why you, as a golfer should take notice.

Hoyt McGarity is one of the founders of True Spec Golf, a "brand agnostic" club fitting company that is changing the way golfers can find the perfect clubs for their swing.  In most club fitting situations, a golfer is limited when looking for a custom fit due to only having a single brand to choose from or a somewhat limited selection due limitations in what brands of shafts and clubheads work together.

Hoyt and True Sec Golf have not only solved that solution, they now own that solution, which is a universal adapter known as Club Conex.  They have seen incredible growth in the company in just the last year, going from one location to having plans for 14 in total.  And that doesn't include their mobile solution.

Not only do they help them with their specific sport or workouts, but they address nutrition, medical/corrective needs, and create a winning blueprint for them to follow and take ownership of.

George Gankas, best known in the social media world as "GGSwingTips" is a golf instructor like no other.  In fact, a buddy of mine, "Fish" from FishFit Golf referred to him as the "Happy Gilmore" of golf instruction.  But I don't want you to get the wrong impression.  This doesn't imply that George is a newbie on the scene disrupting the sacred game of golf; Quite the opposite, in fact.  George is a definite student of the game, but he brings tons of personality to his instruction, which is why I see the "Happy Gilmore" connection as a huge compliment.

Cornel Driessen has worked with the worlds greatest golfers.  Literally, the #1 ranked golfers in the world.  His list includes Jason Day, Rory McIlroy, Henrik Stenson, Charl Schwartzel, Ian Poulter and others.  Not a bad crew, huh?

As a physical therapist and a strength coach, Cornel feels that there really isn't a distinct line that dictates whether a client is in need of "therapy" or "athletic performance" because in actuality, "movement is therapy." All of his efforts with his clients/players is basically boils down to making sure they are moving well and preventing injury.  While each player has his own specific needs regarding injury prevention and optimizing performance, the foundation is laid in the balance of their movement.
