Youth Coaching
Long Term Athlete Development
At Austin Golf & Performance, we look at training our juniors individually which is a key difference in how we approach our coaching.
For example, junior boys “windows” for speed are ages 7-9 and 13-16. This age, however, refers to their developmental age, not their chronological age. That means your athlete may actually be ready for a specific area of training before or after some of their friends who are the “same age”. We meticulously track growth spurts and then adjust the specifics of training accordingly.
GOLF
There are distinct differences in the way an adult golfer should train compared to his 13 year old son or daughter. Juniors are NOT just smaller versions of adult golfers.
Through our experience, it’s these differences that can make or break the booming career of a junior golfer. Our TPI performance specialists understand that through extensive studies, it has been determined that there are optimal “windows of opportunity” in regards to training specific areas of a junior athlete.
These areas are Stamina, Strength, Speed, Skill, and Mobility. If a junior athlete misses these windows, their overall potential in each area is can be compromised. Unfortunately there is a “ceiling” on how much they can improve.
ROTARY SPORTS
