This week we are talking all about nutrition specifically for you, the golfer, with Robert Yang.
Rob is a certified nutritionist and strength and conditioning specialist who has been in the fitness industry for over 20 years. Rob was on the 18Strong Podcast back on episode 42 and we wanted to bring him back to talk about his new book “Hole-in-One Nutrition.”
Chris Finn owns and operates Par4Success, an incredible golf, and fitness business with 2 locations in North Carolina. In today’s episode, Chris shares with us the results from an ongoing study he has been conducting with his clients over the past few years. Chris has been documenting the assessments and training programs of his clients (from juniors to tour pro’s) to determine the effects that they had on specific golf parameters. Whether you are a regular golfer or fitness professional, you’re definitely going to take away from valuable info from his research.
This week we are replaying an episode from last year that highlighted the benefits of interval training and covered the contents of the best selling book by Dr. Martin Gibala, The One Minute Workout.
As many of you have seen on My Instagram Page, this month I am doing the #1-minutemaxou challenge. I have committed to doing at least 1 minute of a maximal effort exercise each and every day for 30 days (and I have to post proof to instagram!).
So today I want to talk about what I’ve learned and the constant trends I’ve seen from our professional guests on the show. I specifically titled this “5 Things Really Good Golfers Do” because I don’t want to talk about the exceptional, elite athlete, or the professional golfer. I’m talking about you and the golfers you play with that just seem to have it figured out: the really good golfer at your club, on your golf trips, etc. What is it that they are doing that you can learn from to drastically and realistically escalate your game.
Today I am especially excited to bring on our special guest, and brand new PGA Tour Cardholder, Chris Thompson.
As the 2017-2018 PGA Tour and Web.com season wrap up, there seem to be plenty of exciting recaps and developments to cover. Last week we talked to Adam Long, one of the Web.com “Top 25” Money list earners and golfer moving on to the PGA Tour. I’m excited to say that this week we have another upcoming rookie on the PGA Tour, Chris Thompson.
This week we’re talking to my buddy, Adam Long, who is recently one of the top 25 money-earners on the Web.com Tour in the year 2017-2018, and is therefor PGA Tour bound in 2018-2019.
I can honestly say this is an episode I’ve been looking forward to doing for the last couple years. I first met Adam when we had him on the show (Episode 60) and since then have been working with him remotely with programs for him to continue to do on the road. I’m so excited to see how far he has come and where he is going.
Today we’re talking to Dan Hellman about the piece of the Golfer fitness puzzle that no one is really talking about. Even in the circles of fitness and strength training, not many individuals are talking about post-round or post-exercise routines.
Dan, a licensed physical therapist and owner of Hellman Holistic Health in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, is one of the most well-respected medical and fitness professionals in golf. Dan is a former senior faculty member of the well-known C.H.E.K. Institute and has studied extensively under pioneering French osteopath Guy Voyer, and is qualified as an instructor of Voyer’s SOMA Method.
Today we are talking training with Dr. Mike Kay from Premier Fitness Systems in Scottsdale, AZ. Training for you, for golfers, for athletes, and the broad spectrum that it can require in order to meet your goals and needs.
We are constantly learning new and innovative ways to improve performance. Our guest today, Dr. Mike Kay, does exactly this on a regular basis with his clients. Constantly trying to find the most effective and efficient ways to reach his clients’ fitness and health goals, whether they are professional athletes (from UFC to PGA players) or the general populace.
This week, we have one of the biggest names in golf when it comes to the mental game, Dr. Gio Valiante. Dr. Gio is an expert in the area of human performance as it relates to both business and sport. His book, “Fearless Golf: Conquering the Mental Game” is known by many as one of the most influential mental game resources in the game.
Fearless Golf continues to be a best seller more than 10 years after it was published in 2005 and his players have won over 50 PGA Tour Events in the past 15 years.
This week, Dr. Michael Ruscio takes us on a deep dive into the topic of “Gut Health!” I know it might not seem quite as sexy as increasing your driver speed or talking about the latest PGATour event, but I think you’ll be surprised at just how much this topic might hit home for you. Little do you know how much your “gut” impacts your performance out on the course and simplify your life in general.
Michael Ruscio, DC is a doctor, clinical researcher and best-selling author whose practical ideas on healing chronic illness have made him an influential voice in functional and alternative medicine. His research has been published in peer-reviewed medical journals and he speaks at integrative medical conferences across the globe.
