Here is a brief description of our junior philosophy

JUNIOR GOLFERS! WANT TO WIN?

We share Titleist Performance Institute’s Philosophy for Junior Golf:
"Junior golf schools need to first develop fundamental movement skills and establish functional movement patterns, then develop sport specific skills, teach golf-specific skills, and most importantly create a love for the game."

Great athletes become great golfers, not the other way around!

We build your young athlete from the ground up based off developmental age, NOT chronological. We build a “physical literacy” foundation, then build sports specific skills on top of it, not the other way around!

Our focus from the ages of 6 to 9 (Fundamentals) is Fundamental movement skills- Locomotion, Stability, Object Control and Awareness skills, Quickness, Agility and change of direction activities in a class format.

Our focus from the ages of 9-12 (Learn to play) is to introduce all sports skills, continue with mastery of movement skills and begin to introduce golf specific skills, endurance and speed in a class format.

Our focus from the ages of 12-16 (Train to play) is one of the most critical phases since this is where golf skills are ingrained for life! This is the “second window” for speed, power and strength. We are now doing more one-on-one training.

Our focus from the ages of 16-18 involves college prep, national tournament play and physical development. This is all one-on-one training- the same kind we give our PGA Tour winners!

IF YOU WANT YOUR JUNIOR TO ACCEL AT ANY SPORT, ESPECIALLY GOLF, THEY NEED TO BE IN THIS PROGRAM, PERIOD!

Your new decade of golf, how will it start?

Well it's definately crazy to think that it's been 10yrs already since we were worried about the "electronic" world coming to an end, but here we are!

Here's a challenge to start the new year. Get out whatever information you have from 2000 to today and see how much your game has improved during those 10 yrs, and I wonder if you still have:
  1. the same goals
  2. the same issues
  3. the same struggles
  4. the same frustrations
  5. the same limitations
  6. the same aches and pains
  7. more aches and pains
  8. a higher handicap
  9. and maybe even the same clubs!?

My point in asking you these questions is to see if your game has really improved?

My bet is, is that it is probably the same or a little better, but not as much as you want it to be...am I right?

Well, why start 2010 doing the same thing you have for the past 10 years that has led to at best a mediocre game?

I challenge you to see this moment right now as an opportunity to not only improve your game, but to improve your life!

Wouldn't it be great to make this the year that your REALLY...

  1. drop scores
  2. hit it farther
  3. play with less or no pain
  4. be more consistent
  5. play other sports or activities that you love with zeal
  6. enjoy golf
  7. participate in other sports
  8. play with your kiddo's
  9. etc??

So there's your challenge, will you step up and take it?

If you do, I am here to help you...just get in touch and we'll start your journey together!

Holiday Calorie Control Tip #2

Yesterday we discussed how crucial it is for you to have a PLAN to control your calorie intake during the holidays.

Today's tip is even more simple and expands on the premise.

Plan on staying away from the booze.

Look, a drink or two isn't going to be the end of the world. But when two turns to three...I'm not getting on my soap box here.

I'm just telling you something you already know:
Booze leads to bad decisions.

And in this case, we're talking about bad eating decisions.

When alcohol enters the equation even the best laid plans crumble. The extra calories from the cocktails is one thing. But really it's the extra calories you chew that start to add up.

One piece of cake turns to two...A handful of chips turns into a a bag...The dip sitting in front of you mysteriously vanishes...into your belly...You get the picture. ;-)

Have fun. Enjoy yourself.

Just be conscious of what alcohol does to your decision making.

Yours in health,
Dee

Holiday Calorie Control Tip #1

I know you know this.

You know you know this.

Fail to plan, plan to fail.

You can't just HOPE you're going to behave yourself at holiday parties. You can't just do the same old things you've been doing. You can't just miss breakfast. have a light lunch and then go to a party filled with temptation and not go a little insane on the cheese platter ;-)

You have to plan your meals.

You have to plan your workouts.

You have to set your goals in stone.

You don't want to be the person that comes out of the holidays 5 to 10 pounds heavier, do you?

If you don't plan your strategy from preventing it, well, you can PLAN on getting some new clothes that fit your new size.

This is far from doom and gloom. You can still enjoy your favorite foods at parties. You can still have a great time.

But what you can't do is just free-for-all it and stuff your face with everything put in front of you. You know that.

Tell you what: Plan on taking a nice 30 minute walk this weekend and do some solid thinking about what your plan will be. And when you get back home, put it on paper and commit to it.

And think about how great you'll feel about yourself when January comes after you've followed your plan. Oh, and be sure to reward yourself to by doing something special for yourself.

Yours in health,
Dee

As you know, I'm a proud Prograde Nutrition partner, so when something like this comes across my desk, well, I share it with you immediately.

Believe it or not they are putting all of their awesome products on sale this week for 15% off! I don't think they've ever done this before, and they probably won't do it ever again. Their products are so good and the company is growing so fast they just don't have to.

Here's your Turkey day fat burning workout!

Turkey Day Workout!

Warm up and stretch till you feel prepared to workout. (If you don’t usually exercise regularly, please be careful and smart about your participation in this program, and only do this if you have your doctor’s permission!)

Now perform 2-4 sets of the following workout (2 for the beginner, 3 for intermediate, and 4 for advanced), with no rest in between each exercise until the end, when you will rest for 2 minutes and start over at the beginning.

All exercises should be performed at 10-15 reps depending on your ability and capacity…please be smart! If anything is painful, stop immediately!

Here we go!
In a station or circuit format…

1. Squats holding a dumb bell- right under the Adam’s apple- keep the chest up, belly button in while bending at the hips and ankles and your knees going forward.

2. Pushups- floor or on a bench- keep your trunk perfectly still and flat…don’t let your body sag!

3. Exercise ball hamstring curls- Lay on your back on the floor, put your feet on the ball, lift your butt to the ceiling, and while maintaining a straight body, pull your heels to your butt, then back to straight again- repeat

4. Bent over dumb bell rows- bend forward at the hips with the dumb bells hanging freely, using your butt and abs to hold you in this position- now pull the dumb bells up so they almost touch your ribcage by pulling your shoulder blades together.

5. Side lunge (or back lunge if you can’t do a side lunge)- with your chest up and upper body stationary, step sideways so the inside leg to where you started goes straight and the outside knee bends as your butt goes back…think of a squat position, butt with one leg out to the side and a almost straight knee.

6. Exercise ball dumb bell presses for chest (or use bench if you can’t balance on a ball)- lay back on the ball so your shoulders and head lay flat to the ceiling with your hips parallel to the floor- start with the dumb bells in your hands and your upper arms resting on the ball, abs braced and glues tight- push the weights toward the ceiling till they almost come together, return to start and repeat

7. Front and side raises for shoulders- with good standing posture (knees soft, chest up, abs braced) lift one dumb bell to the front and one dumb bell to the side so that the two make a 90 degree angle, then lower them and switch, the other to the front and the other to the side- keep repeating

8. Bicep curls- any kind

9. Tricep kickbacks- bend forward and keep upper arms parallel with the body angle you are standing at, then, by hinging at the elbow, straighten your arms so your entire arm is now straight, then hinge at the elbow again and repeat

10. Forward ball rolls- kneel on the floor with your forearms on an exercise ball, with a flat spine, abs braced, slowly roll arms out in front of you while your hips move as if your elbows and hip bones have a string attached to them. If this was true, when you moved your elbows forward, it would pull your hips forward as well. Now do the opposite to get back to start position, which is pull the hips back first which would pull the elbows back as well, repeat.

Now rest 2 minutes and repeat 1-2 more times!

For those of you who do this…do me a favor and make a comment of how you did!

God Bless and have a great Thanksgiving!

Your Pre-Thanksgiving workout

Today's is the ay before a great day! THE day of the year to be most Thankful for the things that God blesses all of us with...mostly our freedom and liberty!

Your workout for today is simple...interval cardio!

Here it is:
Start with a 5 min warm up on your favorite cardio machine (I like the bike or the Guantlet), getting your heart rate to 120 beats per minute (BPM).

Here are the rules of interval work...
1. increase your tension and speed on a bike, and increase your speed (steps per minute) on a guantlet for the recommended work loads listed below
2. try to double your speed and tension during the interval,
3. during recovery, lower the tension and speed to very slow so you can recover quickly
4. I listed the word "hard" below to describe #1 above and what it should feel like to work.

Once you are warm, let's start!
- 20 seconds hard, then recover to 120 BPM
then,
- 30 seconds hard, then recover to 120 BPM
then,
- 60 seconds hard, then recover to 120 BPM
then,
- 30 seconds hard, then recover to 120 BPM
then,
- 15 seconds hard, then recover to 120 BPM
then,
- 60 seconds hard, then recover to 120 BPM
then,
- 20 seconds hard, then recover to 120 BPM
then,

- 60 seconds hard, then recover to 120 BPM
then,

- 20 seconds hard, then recover to 120 BPM
then,

- 60 seconds hard,
then,
- Cool down 5 minute or until your heart rate is below 120 BPM

This entire workout will take at least 24 minutes and longer due to your ability to recover to 120 BPM between each interval.

Go get it!

What to eat, and what not to eat

Today, it's all about portions.

First, some tough love.

My sister responded to my post yesterday and said, "I thought it was a day to indulge!"

OK, valid question, BUT she trains everyday and works hard on her nutritional choices. So for her (or you if you are in the same scenario) I say go for it!

But for everyone else who don't train everyday and make solid nutritional choices...listen up!

Here's what you need to focus on- what to eat and what not to eat...
  1. Drink water! Start when you get up with 8 oz's (which you should anyway), then have 8 oz's every hour up to the point you eat. You will be less likely to overeat if you do this.
  2. Only have a "palm full" of hors d'oeuvres- and make them veggies or a protein snack
  3. If you are going to drink alcohol, then make sure you have a protein or a fat snack with your drink so you don't "over sugar" yourself which is what alcohol is...pure sugar!

Ok- at the Thanksgiving meal, here's how your plate should look...

Split the plate into thirds- 1/3 protein- turkey/ham, 1/3 carbs- mashed taters/dressing and 1/3 vegies.

I am a believer in fats, good fats, so use some gravy on your turkey and stuffing, JUST DON'T OVER DO IT! That's when you get into trouble!

Next, make sure those portions of each of the foods are about the size of your palm and , just like I said yesterday, only eat till you are satisfied!

Now...seconds?

Yes you can, but you have to wait for three hours! The difference is, this time you can't eat it past 8 pm, and it has to be half the size of your original meal.

So try these simple tricks and it will help you be successful on Thanksgiving!

See you tomorrow!

Sorry it's been a while!

Since we last visited we finished up helping out the players at the Mens Colorado Open, we've been to another TPI certification, except this time I got to participate in the teaching of the class...definately a blast! We went up to the beautiful Red Sky Ranch and put on a 3D full day experience, and the participants loved it!

We have also been out to the Denver Bronco Kids day out at Green Valley Ranch, and helped the players out at the Denver Open, where more of Colorado's best golfers participated in a great tournament that benefitted the Fellowship of Christian Athletes. We definately support this great ministry and the impact it has on our next generation!

Today we were out at a golf tournament that benefitted the Denver Academy which helps kids that struggle in school...another great cause to support!

Tommorrow we will be out at GVR again for the last of the Colorado Open's, this time it is the Seniors trun to "take a whack" at the course, and we will be out there helping them play their best as well!

I hope you have all played well this summer and look forward to the fall golf that's ahead!

Stop Whining!

Ok, for those of you who already participate in a golf fitness regimine of some sorts, well, you already know this...for the rest of you, if you really love the game and aren't considering the fitness side of golf, then you are missing the boat!

It is such a bummer how prevalent this problem is! Golfers love the game soo much, yet complain just as much about pain, scores, their high handicap, not improving and all the others that they love to whine about!

I mean really! What other sport our there is there such an attitude like this by amatuer players? Seriously, think about it! Can you think of any sport where a majority of the amatuer players struggle as much as with golf?

I can't.

Which leads me to my point. GET YOUR BUTT INTO THE GYM!

If you start working on making yourself have better posture, flexibility, stabilty, mobility and strength, then YOU WILL be a better golfer!

So suck it up and get started, the benefits are endless and it's only for a half hour a day for gosh sakes!

Get a team!

You know... as a certified TPI professional, one of our beliefs is...
"We do not believe there is one way to swing a golf club, in fact we believe that there is an infinite number of ways to swing a club. but we do believe there is an effecient way to swing a club and it is based off what the body can do."

I mention this because I have recently been asked by numerous people questions and issues about their swings.

Here's the deal. After years of testing clients in order to create flexibility and conditioning programs and seeing their positive affects on their game; from almost 15,000 amatuer and 1400 tour pros being tested at TPI...the conclusion is...your body affects your swing more than anything else that will prevent your from the success you desire!

So PLEASE, don't just listen to your golf instructor as the ONLY professional that you take advice from to create and perfect your game!

Please know that your body issues will negatively affect your game if you don't address them! Consider a team approach!

Ok, this isn't just about Golf, regardless, you should have a great chiropracter, a great massage therapist, a great golf fitness coach, a great PGA qualified golf instructor and great equipment.

Together this team will not only help you be the best athlete you can be, but the best golfer you can be! Afterall it is the exact team that TPI recommends and it is the same one that I use for my PGA tour winners!

Get your life back!!

Sorry it's been a week!

I didn't know that Arron was going to be here for four days, so I am a little behind!

But, the coolest thing happened while he was here, and I tell you this because I want to encourage you to continue to persue your fitness and performance goals no matter what they are!

Arron came into town down in the dumps about where his body was. It was sore, tired, and his wrist surgery he had last august was still very painful.

But I scheduled him for his appointments to see one of my Chiropracters that I use and he had used before, Doc Trisha Shaar. She found that his hand (left) was contributing to a lack of nuerological communication from the hand and arm to the brain. Knowing this, she referred him to Doc Paul Thom who is a Chiropracter that specializes in extremity adjustments, and let me tell you, he went thru Arron's hand and elbow and adjusted 3 hand bones, and made 2 elbow corrections.

Immediately Arron could move his elbow and hand into positions he couldn't before and with out pain!

Now, the second important part.

I performed my extensive testing and created a program for him (that took 3.5 hrs BTW!), and I got a call from Arron today telling me how great it feels to feel the strength and stability coming back into his arm, shoulder and hand!

So, in the end, even if you have pain or lack of performance...just know that it is happenening to the best of the best athletes in the world, and all you need to do is seek out a great "body" team and be persistant with your care and conditioning program and you to, can live a life that you desire!

Swing Fault- "Sway?"


Defined-
A sway is any excessive lower body lateral movement away from the target during the backswing that forces the weight to the outside of the back foot. This fault makes it very difficult to develop a proper weight shift during transition and the downswing. If there is no stable platform to drive their weight off of during transition, golfers will lose power and inadvertently try to develop speed in an inefficient manner.

Causes-
1. Right Hip Internal rotation
- is paramount for full rotation into the right hip without any lateral sway for a right handed golfer. If the body is unable to rotate around the right hip due to joint or muscular restriction, lateral movements will dominate the pattern.

2. Separation of Lower and Upper body- Separation of lower and upper body allows the lower body to laterally stabilize while rotating during a large shoulder turn. Limited trunk to pelvis separation is usually caused by reducing spinal mobility and shortened lat flexibility.

3. Glute Strength- The ability to stabilize the right leg during the backswing is directly proportional to the strength and stability of the glute muscles (your booty!) When it comes to lower body lateral stabilization, the glute medius is the king! It helps the right hip from elevating and shifting laterally during an aggressive coil into the right hip.
Remember, I believe that the way to permanently get rid of swing faults is to find out what causes them, address them with a strong golf fitness program, while simultaneously seeing your golf professional for drills!
