260: Hayden Buckley: Building Confidence in Yourself & Your Game

Today I am especially excited to have on our special guest Hayden Buckley.

Hayden is a professional golfer who played on the Mackenzie Tour (Canadian PGA Tour) last year winning his spot as the sixth order of merit, which will get him onto the third stage of Q-School, which is going on next week.

I have worked with Hayden as his fitness coach for about a year and a half and it’s been awesome to see his career and progress blossom. We have him on today to talk about his big win at the ATB Financial, his relationship with his caddy, the ups and downs of this last year, and, of course, how his fitness regimen has impacted his game.

You not only get a glimpse into his life (and what a fun personality he brings to the game) but also how I work with clients and how we build our programs here at 18STRONG, emphasizing simplicity and consistency over the long term, rather than complexity and fad workouts or diets.
