Professional Golf
*Day training
Louise offers one-to-one day sessions of the highest quality in the golfer’s environment. Creative personalised programmes are developed based on discussions, observation, monitoring and reflection with the golfer. Day sessions are highly experiential and the golfer is supported to integrate individualised techniques and tools surrounding and during practice.
*Packaged or yearly training
Applying the above principles of discussion, observation and reflection and using a range of individualised techniques, the professional golfer will also be fully supported at named competition. Packaged or yearly programmes enable regular observation and monitoring and ensures the ‘performance strategies’ and individual tools are being practised to the highest quality and become part of the golfer’s regular behaviour prior to, during and post competition.
*In both the day and yearly consultancy, discussions with the coach & the golfer’s performance team are also welcomed.
