Today we have a GREAT episode on the Brain Booster. A show I really enjoyed putting together. I get the chance to spend some time with someone I have known and respected for over 20 years David Colclough. David is an incredibly knowledgeable coach who has been part of the PGA training program for over 15 years. He has helped influence many of the young coaches of today. He also has a huge passion for learning and what can be developed to help develop both coaches and players. He has spent time with some incredible mentors over his career such as Martin Hall and Denis Pugh. As well he has completed a Masters in coaching. We get the chance to reflect on the development of the PGA coaching structures and how the training program has changed so dramatically over the years. In terms of coaching we discuss the ‘invisible ingredients of outstanding coaching’. We really drill down into the ‘non obvious’ areas that are often overlooked when we work with players or indeed if we are working on our own game. David call these The 4 C’s Competence Confidence Connection Character We actually ignore these 4 elements potentially at the peril of our game. All four elements are interwoven and essential to get the best from the players we work with. They are also essential ingredients to keep people playing golf. Once you have listened to David you will really reflect these 4 C’s and begin to see where YOU are in terms of balance.
