In this week’s episode, I’m joined by my friend and golf swing coach, Adam Kolloff. Adam is an award-winning golf coach that has an amazing blend of coaching styles that combine his experience with video analysis and Trackman data.
We have a great conversation about the golf swing, including a discussion about common faults and physical limitations. But, there are so many valuable lessons packed into this episode including conversations about coaching, skill acquisition, and collaboration between professions.
