GSA Level 1 Certification Overview

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:10.200
All right, coaches, welcome to the GSA Level 1 Certified Coaching Program.

2
00:00:10.200 --> 00:00:14.940
In this program, we're going to go through what I refer to as showing your work

3
00:00:14.940 --> 00:00:15.260
.

4
00:00:15.260 --> 00:00:19.910
So one of my complaints with golf instruction has always been that typically

5
00:00:19.910 --> 00:00:21.060
golf instructors

6
00:00:21.060 --> 00:00:25.480
would say, "Okay, I want you to do this because I think it'll work better and I

7
00:00:25.480 --> 00:00:25.900
'll make you

8
00:00:25.900 --> 00:00:27.220
more consistent."

9
00:00:27.220 --> 00:00:31.640
So it was like, "Okay, I want you to do this movement," but then how the golf

10
00:00:31.640 --> 00:00:32.100
instructor

11
00:00:32.100 --> 00:00:36.940
arrived at that movement or that conclusion was never really explained.

12
00:00:36.940 --> 00:00:40.380
And so oftentimes, I had a harder time buying it.

13
00:00:40.380 --> 00:00:45.100
So this Level 1 Certified Program is where I'm going to show my work.

14
00:00:45.100 --> 00:00:49.610
We are going to go through the 3D graphs that are relevant to all of the key

15
00:00:49.610 --> 00:00:50.500
movements.

16
00:00:50.500 --> 00:00:56.800
So the motorcycle, the Jackson 5, the sequencing, the wipe, we'll look at the

17
00:00:56.800 --> 00:00:58.280
lower body pivot,

18
00:00:58.280 --> 00:01:01.740
we'll look at short game or wedge play at least.

19
00:01:01.740 --> 00:01:05.250
We'll look at all the key pieces, we'll look at the downswing phases, the back

20
00:01:05.250 --> 00:01:06.020
swing phase,

21
00:01:06.020 --> 00:01:11.660
we'll look at the key graphs so you can understand why I coach certain movement

22
00:01:11.660 --> 00:01:13.060
combinations.

23
00:01:13.060 --> 00:01:16.300
In addition, we're going to dig into the anatomy.

24
00:01:16.300 --> 00:01:22.100
So I'm going to assume that most of you have very little anatomy understanding.

25
00:01:22.100 --> 00:01:25.960
So we're going to, in each webinar, we're going to tackle a specific area so

26
00:01:25.960 --> 00:01:26.500
that you

27
00:01:26.500 --> 00:01:31.400
can understand when you're looking at a golfer move, what's happening

28
00:01:31.400 --> 00:01:32.740
underneath it?

29
00:01:32.740 --> 00:01:36.260
What are the joints doing in that area?

30
00:01:36.260 --> 00:01:37.980
What muscles are controlling it?

31
00:01:37.980 --> 00:01:42.570
And what fasciaal slings are related to that movement pattern or the

32
00:01:42.570 --> 00:01:44.460
relationship anatomy?

33
00:01:44.460 --> 00:01:50.100
How does one area like your ankle relate to another area like your hip?

34
00:01:50.100 --> 00:01:56.880
And then lastly in each webinar, I've got some swing analysis where when I did

35
00:01:56.880 --> 00:01:57.380
this

36
00:01:57.380 --> 00:02:00.910
live, coaches would send in their swings or swings of their students and we'd

37
00:02:00.910 --> 00:02:03.380
talk through

38
00:02:03.380 --> 00:02:08.160
what I would do with those golfers and you'll see how I put together the graphs

39
00:02:08.160 --> 00:02:09.500
in the anatomy.

40
00:02:09.500 --> 00:02:15.740
We'll also have some, just random Q&A where I'll dig into a little bit deeper

41
00:02:15.740 --> 00:02:16.340
understanding

42
00:02:16.340 --> 00:02:20.020
or explanation on some of the key concepts.

43
00:02:20.020 --> 00:02:22.460
So this is me showing my work.

44
00:02:22.460 --> 00:02:29.820
There are 12 different webinars each covering key 3D topics as well as anatomy.

45
00:02:29.820 --> 00:02:34.240
If you have any questions as you're watching it, feel free to comment below the

46
00:02:34.240 --> 00:02:34.860
video and

47
00:02:34.860 --> 00:02:39.700
we can do our best to add a little screenshot or do a little video to clarify.

48
00:02:39.700 --> 00:02:45.020
My goal is that after watching it, you have a much better understanding of the

49
00:02:45.020 --> 00:02:46.140
key movements,

50
00:02:46.140 --> 00:02:50.460
maybe how to prioritize them and how to coach your students that much better.

51
00:02:50.460 --> 00:02:55.110
So I normally say that smart golfers are happy golfers, but in this case, in

52
00:02:55.110 --> 00:02:56.500
this case,

53
00:02:56.500 --> 00:02:59.300
I think that smart coaches become happy coaches.
