Aaron was keen to come on and have a rant 😉 so here it is. We had a great chat exploring his experiences in sport as a child and how so often he was coached out of them. And how that is driving his approach to coaching and providing experience that children will love and want to continue doing forever! Check out Aaron’s website https://golf-not-golf-swing.com

Another person that I chat a LOT with! So it was great to get something recorded. Ben shares with us a reflective story of his journey with a young person who he has coached from when he was a 4/5 year old getting started to where he is now as an 18 year old player. Fascinating to listen in to what they did together and the moments/memories collected along the way.

Back after a short break and just a ramble around children having opportunities to have a go at lots of activities and developing the skill of “haveagoness” If there is such a thing?!?!

A review of February and also time to reflect on 51 days straight of podcasts!!!

Fascinating to listen to Oli’s journey as a coach and also discuss thoughts and attitudes towards children developing into good people (and possibly players?!?) We discussed a lot about offering and supporting children’s choices knowing that as they play the game of golf more and develop those choices may naturally become more limited. Loads, as ever, of golden moments in this chat.

This story grabbed my attention so I thought I would share it - Enjoy 😊

Aaron runs a very busy junior academy so it was great to catch up and chat about what experiences he offers to children and families. Some great insight here for coaches and parents around positive 1st experiences

As we look to golf opening up on March 29th I just wanted to get down some thoughts on why children should play golf.

Loved to get Karl’s perspective on children’s sport and experiences from a teachers viewpoint. So many things in here for coaches to appreciate from a teachers view, experience and expertise. And also for parents!

The life cycle of a junior golfer. Should junior golf membership be free? What are the barriers to children becoming members of a golf club? Are children starting playing golf too soon early and then giving up early? Is there an imbalance or playing on the golf corse and coaching?
