Coaching Philosophy

For over three decades, I’ve had the privilege of mentoring and coaching athletes, with a focus on helping them reach their fullest potential—not only in their golf game but in their personal growth as well. I believe that coaching goes far beyond simply teaching skills; it’s about fostering a mindset of growth, building character, and empowering individuals to achieve their goals. While success is often measured by victories, I place a higher value on the progress athletes make throughout their learning process, and the development of their resilience and self-discipline.

As a coach, I work primarily with professionals and high-level amateurs, helping them to sharpen their skills while also cultivating their mental toughness and self-awareness. My approach balances positive reinforcement with clear, constructive feedback, always focusing on meeting the individual needs of each athlete. I push my athletes to excel, but I also ensure they feel supported, understood, and encouraged as they navigate their unique challenges.

I am a firm believer in continuous learning and growth, both for my athletes and for myself as a coach. I stay committed to evolving my approach through formal education, observing my peers, and reflecting on my own experiences. This dedication to growth allows me to better serve my athletes and adapt to the ever-changing demands of the game.

I take great pride in creating tailored strategies to help athletes improve in every aspect of their game, including:

• Putting: Refining technique, enhancing green reading, and building confidence
• Chipping: Developing multiple techniques and shot options
• Pitching and Bunker Play: Focusing on trajectory control and spin rates
• Distance Wedges: Tailoring strategies for high club-speed players
• Ball Striking: Maximizing consistency and accuracy
• Course Management: Teaching strategic thinking and decision-making on the course

Ultimately, my coaching philosophy centers on empowering athletes to not only reach their goals but to become better, more well-rounded individuals both on and off the course.
