How Remote Golf Performance Coaching Works
Golfers often ask two things: how training can be coached from a distance, and whether it will clash with their swing lessons. Here is how the program runs.
It is not swing instruction
Summit's golf program covers the physical side: strength, mobility, power and speed. Your swing coach teaches the swing. We make sure your body can do what they ask of it, and we coordinate with them.
The assessment
Before a plan is written, we look at how you move.
- A full-body movement assessment, filmed at home
- Video of your swing
- A questionnaire on injury history, schedule, goals and equipment
- Data where available, including launch monitor numbers and K-Vest biomechanics
The plan is built from that.
A typical week
Your sessions arrive in the training app, with a video for every exercise. A week usually includes:
- Strength training sessions
- Power and speed work
- Mobility on most days
- Recovery days
Plan on about six to eight hours a week.
The year is phased. Mobility and stability come first, then strength, then power and speed, and the plan shifts to maintenance when you are competing.
What you send
You film your training and upload it. Your coach sends back corrections. You can send as many videos as you need. You also have scheduled video calls and can reach your coach by text or email between them.
How it changes
Clubhead speed, strength numbers and how your body feels are tracked across the 12 months. The plan is adjusted as they change and as your tournament schedule moves.
What you need
- A gym with barbells and dumbbells
- Space to swing, and range balls
- A phone and tripod
A launch monitor and medicine balls help. Most other equipment is provided.
Who it suits
Competitive juniors, college and professional players, and committed amateurs who will train on their own between check-ins. If you are near southwest Virginia, in-person sessions are available alongside the remote plan.
A free consultation call is the quickest way to find out whether it fits.
