“I believe true improvement in golf starts with an understanding of how the body works and what it is capable of doing. Taking a player through a full evaluation, identifying physical limitations, building programs specific to those, and communicating with the golf coach are key ingredients in player development. Building exercise programs, connecting exercises to the golf swing, and following proper progression is a road map to success in helping players achieve their goals on the golf course.“ – Michael Christman
