Online Coaching

With all of the "fun" things that have been going on in 2020 golf coaches everywhere have had to be adaptable and work out ways to offer coaching services to their clients. Online coaching has been a way for coaches to stay engaged with their clients and offer advice on swings and practice routines. All of the proactive coaches that I know have these systems in place already and moved quickly to expand their offerings for their students.

There are a number of different options out there for online coaching and I am interested in what your experiences are with online coaching. If you are a golfer, have you had an online lesson? Have you sent a swing in for analysis? Did it help? What was your experience like? I would love to hear what you liked about it or what you didn't like about it.

Also, if you are a coach, what are you offering in the online space for your clients? What has the engagement been like? Are you keeping your students or even gaining new ones? I would love to hear from you about your experiences in these crazy times.

Personally, I have set up a Fiverr gig for swing analysis and Skype calls. I use the GASP Lab system to analyse the swings sent to me and it is a great product. I am also currently looking at a couple of different options for online coaching. I am in a little different space at the moment as I am not coaching full time but, if I was, I would be offering different options for my students.

I am always open to contact from my students and we can work together to come up with the best possible solution to keep their golf improving.

Let me know in the comments what your experiences have been or hit me up on Twitter, Facebook or Instagram with your comments.

Until next time,

New Podcast - Coaching Uncovered

One new project that I have launched this year is a podcast. I have started publishing a podcast about coaching called Coaching Uncovered. It is a podcast that I want to be about coaches talking about coaching. I want the podcast to be informal and conversational and I am having lots of fun recording the episodes.

You can find the podcast feed on the right-hand side of this blog or on the Podbean website by clicking here. You can also find it at the usual podcast places by searching for the title.

So far I have had an exercise physiologist that works with golfers and is doing his Ph.D., a couple of great Aussie golf coaches and some great friends from overseas' All of these people have been great with sharing their thoughts and expertise and they have been great conversations. I am ramping up the recording at the moment so there will be new episodes out shortly.

As you can see by the picture above, I am portable with my recording equipment and I have a great website where I can record online and get good quality audio. I am still learning how to edit audio but I am enjoying the fairly steep learning curve! I am sure the audio quality will get better and better as I go along.

I am aiming to have some non-golf coaches on the show as well and I think it will be great to hear how they go about coaching in their sports and how it is similar and different to golf coaching. Who would you like to hear from? I would love to know who I should get in touch with for the show.

I would love for you to subscribe to the podcast and give the social media accounts a follow. You can find the Coaching Uncovered social accounts at Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.

Have a listen and let me know what you think!

Until next time,

Back in 2020

Well hasn't 2020 been fun and games so far! Lots of strange things happening and no real end in sight at the moment. Hopefully, people keep doing the right things and we get back to some kind of normal sooner rather than later.

I just wanted to let you know that I will be posting my thoughts and ideas, here again, moving forwards. I want to share my ideas on golf and coaching and hopefully help you with your game or just give you some entertainment as we go along.

I will have some news about a podcast I have started up recently along with some other things on social media that I will be kick-starting again.

I would love to hear from you so let me know what has been going on for you in the comments or you can get me on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.

Let's have some fun with your golf and get a good conversation going.

Until next time,

Brent
