Coaching Philosophy

Empower Youth

• Become Youth Centered
• Encourage positive relationships with adults and peers
• Focus on developing the Whole Person
• Get to know each individual’s goals in golf and life
• Kids don’t care what you know until they know you care!

Activity Based

• Doing versus Telling
• Engage participants in fun golf related activities
• Teach skills that are used in golf and daily life
• Fun environment that encourages participation and enhances self worth

Mastery-Driven

• Develop a “can do” approach to solving problems
• Learn to overcome challenges
• Become Process-oriented rather than outcome oriented
• Match Intention with Attention to become Task-oriented

Continuous Learning

• Utilize the Good-Better-How model to provide feedback
• Foster Long Term Solutions rather than short-term remediation of skill deficits
• Receive feedback while searching for Teachable Moments
