It’s true, (I had an 10 mph jump over the last 2-3 months), but it’s the sexy thing to talk about on IG.... Yet, strength training has many other benefits to you as a human as well. The not so perceived benefits outside of golf performance are: Decreased injury risk Feeling better Longevity so you can enjoy the game longer improved function as you get older Improved health and fitness decreasing mortality and disease Enrollment for my in-season block of the @parfourperformance golf performance program is now open.

Are you a snacker, or prefer the whole meal? I guess I’m a little of both! . . #joesquotes #snacks #kinstretch

Your injury history, movement history, movement quality, current capabilities, beliefs, and a whole lotta other things determine how the information can be applied to you.
