Today I’m joined in the studio by my good friend Casey Cox.
Casey is a world-class golf instructor (Director of Instruction at Old Warson Country Club), biomechanist, and one of the co-founders of Sports Science Solutions, an institute whose mission is …
To provide world-class assessment and training solutions to help create a more healthy and sustainable next generation of athletes.
In today’s episode, Casey and I take a deep dive into the world of golf instruction through his eyes as a biomechanist that works with not just golfers, but high-level athletes of all sports, and a major emphasis on hockey.
