Mathews World: Appearance on the 18STRONG Podcast: Why Golfers Should Lift Heavy Things

I had the pleasure of being asked to come onto the 18STRONG Podcast recently.

Wait, what? Golf?

It’s not lost on me I was asked to appear on a show focusing on golf. I mean, I can count on one hand the total number of times I’ve actually played a round.¹

It’s analogous to me being asked to come onto a show discussing French cuisine, or, I don’t know, knife fighting skills.

Tony Gentilcore? Golf? Hahahahaha.

I may not be able to sniff par, but I do know how to train rotational athletes. While my strong suit is baseball, you’d be surprised how many parallels there are between the two sports.

And, for what it’s worth, I do train a fair share of recreational golfers here in Boston. Almost all of them need to work on improved T-spine and hip mobility, core stability, in addition to just getting stronger in general.

Correct movement from the right areas + Strength + Improved force production = 40 yds on your opening drive, easy…..;o)
