Here is a presentation on Long Term Athletic Development from Dr Greg Rose at the Titleist Performance Institute. It is interesting stuff and exactly in line with the philosophy and model we are adopting in the County Academies. Greg puts it across much better than I could so here he is.

Check out this snapshot of the training regime of Apolo Anton Ohno, a World champion and Olympic Champion short track speed skater. I wonder how many young golfers, who have aspirations to make it on the world stage, realise what it takes to achieve greatness!

More stuff from Daniel Coyle, except this time it features our very own Graham Walker and Steve Robinson! Enjoy... Instant proverb of the day: You are what you count. Many of the talent hotbeds I visited for the book don’t rely on conventional performance yardsticks. Instead, they design their own. The other day I met Graham Walker and Steve Robinson, who coach many of England’s fast-rising

His golf swing is unbelievable and his theory side, his swing, is better than Tiger Woods." “He’s an incredible talent and has excelled already at a very young age.
