Skills
I really enjoy studying and teaching golf from a 360° degrees point of view from Anatomy, Biomechanics, Neuroscience and brain activity to blend it with motor skills pattern development.
As a coach I am specialized in short game/putting, mental skills development and my goal is to help and guide young elite athletes to reach their goals testing them, planning their training, bring them to tournaments and work with them to evolve them in the best player they can dream of.
Technology wise I’ve been working with 3d/pressure plates technology such as Myswing and Swing Catalysts. I’ve got a Trackman 4 to have a better link between what my eyes see compared to numbers and mostly use it to understand tendencies, ranges and how to create a map for the student to follow.
I also have a great passion for Mind and Psicology, I believe working on that can help give great value to athletes and truly help them reach their peak potentials.
