110: Danger lies in the Extreme with Liam Hennessy

This week I am very excited to announce our guest, Liam Hennessy. Liam is one of the legends in the world of strength, conditioning, and golf fitness. He works as a sports performance scientist and consultant, and has worked with some of the greatest athletes in the world, from many sports, including Padraig Harrington.

In this episode, Liam shares some of his incredible stories on his journey, including his early days pole vaulting for Ireland to some of the adventures he’s had while working with Padraig. It is these experiences and “experiments” that have helped him discover and develop his work with his clients. Always searching for new ways to learn and find out what works best, Liam is a constant student and teacher. And while some of these stories venture in the “extremes,” Liam cautions that often, we jump in too quickly and want results so fast that we forget about the fact that performance is a process that can’t be rushed.

105: Rising to the Top of Golf’s Governing Body with Tom O’Toole Jr.

This week I had the chance to sit down with Tom O’Toole Jr., fellow St. Louisan and the former president of the Unites Stages Golf Association (USGA).

As the head of an organization like the USGA, there are a lot of responsibilities and a lot of decisions that have to be made. In many cases, the decision will likely find some in favor, and some not. As Tom shares with us, it’s just part of the territory for any governing institution, and the USGA is no exception.

104: Writing the Story of the Modern Golfer with Ron Kaspriske

This week I’m joined by one of the pioneers in the world of golf fitness. Ron Kaspriske. No, Ron doesn’t personally train PGA Tour players, analyze or fix their swings, or help them with their mental game. But when it comes making golfers aware of their health, their fitness, and how it relates to their golf game, there may not be a guy that has reached more people.

Ron is the Senior Fitness Editor for Golf Digest and has been with the magazine since 2000. He has been covering fitness in golf almost since the beginning, in the year 2000, right around the time when people were starting to notice that a guy named Tiger Woods was a doing more than just hitting balls on the range.

103: How to train properly for more power and endurance with Mike Subach

This week, our guest is once again, Mike Subach. Just last week I received an email from a golf coach in Ohio with a great question (you can see a portion of the email below). He had listened to a previous episode of the podcast on training for endurance on the golf course with special guest Jeremy Crowe.

I realize this can be a very difficult topic to navigate. So I called up one of the guys that I know is at the top of the food chain when it comes to conditioning, especially for golf, Mike Subach. You may have heard Mike on a recent episode or seen him in several videos for us here at 18STRONG.
