Assessments
Without an accurate gauge of where a student-athlete is in
all areas of athletic development – functional strength +
conditioning, technical skill, mental strength, course strategy and
personal growth – it is impossible to provide the right plan for
their development. Utilizing the best technological diagnostic
tools, combined with many year’s experience, BGGA students are
assessed in all areas throughout the year.
Blueprints
Philosophy
Using the assessment data, an individualized improvement plan
or blueprint is created for each student with clear and measurable
process goals in all areas of training. Outcomes and goals are
easy to set, but the blueprint provides the roadmap or the how
to achieve those goals. Blueprints are regularly monitored and
adjusted based on progress and development.
We provide the tools and environment to help our students
become the best they can be. We provide an individualized
program blending a data and technology driven approach with
an artistic coaching style. This is based on proven research into the
training protocols of elite athletes. We produce well rounded
individuals who are capable of performing to the highest level
their goals and aspirations dictate. Training Program
Methodology Tournament Strategy
The coaching approach is interdependent, innovative and
individual. Using the POD system, a team of coaches work with a
group of students, to allow more individualization in practice and
in competition, also exposing students to more expertise and a
variety of coaching skills and experiences. Technology plays a key
role in providing accurate training blue prints. Tournaments provide the competitive environment to test
students’ skills. However, it is important to build the right
schedule based on age, ability, goals and objectives. Having a
mix of tournaments that provide different levels of difficulty is
an excellent way to gain experience, be challenged and to
build confidence.
The training program includes physical training – functional
strength and conditioning, mental performance training,
technical skills training to build mechanics, performance into
competition, on course strategy, training and tournament
competition. The ongoing performance cycle is assess – train –
compete – evaluate.
Functional Strength + Conditioning
A junior golfer’s functional strength and conditioning is vital
to their success on and off the course. For endurance, injury
prevention and to promote peak performance, strength and
conditioning is a core part of the golf program at BGGA.
Mental Performance
BGGA places a strong emphasis on building mental skills. From
creating clear and compelling process goals, learning to focus
on the things they can control and developing on course skills
to promote grit and perseverance – the mental performance
program will help each athlete manage their own tendencies
and become stronger mentally.
POD Coaching Model
In pursuit of performance excellence, BGGA adopted a
collaborative coaching model or the POD Concept. This model
creates an interdependent team atmosphere whereby students
are exposed to a broader array of coaching skills, strengths and
expertise.
