PERFORMANCE COACHING
TO HELP YOU UNLOCK YOUR FULL POTENTIAL AND PLAY YOUR BEST GOLF
"Elevating your golf game requires the synergy of technical training, physical conditioning, and mental focus; when you train both body and mind, every shot represents a reflection of your true potential."
Patrick Sebastien - Performance Coach For Golf
I discovered a passion for coaching over 20 years ago in a very different sport, Muay Thai (aka Thai Boxing). What I loved most about training and teaching martial arts was the combination of technical, physical, mental, and strategic knowledge it required.
​
In 2020, as the wear and tear on my body started to take its toll, I knew it was time to start planning the next chapter in my coaching journey. I had just taken up golf again, after 10 years away from the game, and when a Korn Ferry Tour player reached out to me about breath training and mental coaching, I took it as a sign and shifted to performance coaching for golf.

What is Performance Coaching for golf?
Obviously, that depends on the player, but some of the primary things we’ll focus on are:
-
Building a consistent pre-shot routine to help increase focus and strategic thinking
-
Developing a structured practice strategy to maximize your time on the driving range, short game area, and putting green
-
Breathing techniques to help both calm down the nervous system or wake it up, depending on what’s needed in the moment
-
Meditation and visualization strategies that can be used off the golf course to improve performance on the golf course
-
As a Decade certified coach, I work with competitive golfers on course strategy and achieving a positive mindset
-
Simple but highly efficient golf-specific workouts for body and mind
-
I also like to introduce players to different ways to combine movement and breath training, both on and off the golf course, to trigger a peak performance state and leverage it to improve their performance
After 10 years away from golf, I was excited to start playing again. Those first few months were challenging, golf IS NOT like riding a bike (at least not for me), but I eventually found my swing and started playing decent golf.
​
But then I hit a wall. No matter how much I worked on improving technically, I could not get my scores to improve. So after a round where I felt like I played so much better than what my score reflected, I did a full post-round analysis and counted at least 7 shots that were due to mental mistakes.
​
Using what I knew about breath training and visualization, I created my first pre-shot routine, was able to slow things down on the course, and the scores immediately started to improve.

-
Players who recognize the importance of the mental game, of a pre-shot routine, of being strategic on the golf course
-
Players who want to learn the science of flow states, how to get in the zone, and unlock their full potential
