Research has shown that it takes around twenty years for a golfer to move into the elite level of golf performance; this rule has even applied to Tiger Woods!

Juniors and parents must come to the realization that developing a healthy and successful golfer is a journey that encompasses several varying degrees of stimulus which all build upon each other. 

There is a small window of opportunity to capitalize on movement development in the pre-adolescent years.  Movement training is essential as the nervous system plasticity is high and movement habits have not yet been ingrained as permanent.  During adolescent years, movement patterns must be reinforced and golf specific specialization begins.  The more movement skills a junior has developed early on, the more ability they will display at golf in the future.

Junior golfers who learn to master the elements associated with good movement are much better prepared than junior golfers who have not been exposed to this type of stimulation.
