It is common for footballers or soccer players to have different values and ideas about the game than their coaches.  On occasions, this can result in relationship challenges, where some players feel like they have been treated unfairly.  On the pitch their application and effort in training and in matches, can slowly dwindle, often without them realising.  Before they know it, they are only giving 70% of their full capacity.  Away from football this can take a toll and negatively impact their day to day lives, mood and relationships with loved ones and friends too.

Heather Daly-Donofrio's role as the USGA Managing Director for Player Relations and Development has kept her quite busy over the last year. She has spearheaded the creation of the USGA's National Player Development. A program that many felt was a long time coming. After research and discussions with people around the world, Daly-Donofrio and her team rolled out their plan this winter. Daly-Donofrio is a perfect fit for this job, as she started playing the game at 15 and managed to find her way to college at Yale and then played on the LPGA Tour. She has an understanding of the challenges of finding a pathway as a junior golfer, especially having started the game a little on the late side for someone that did play professionally. Daly-Donofrio speaks about the process for rolling out this program, the challenges and the benefits. It's all very new and very fluid, and it's exciting to imagine how the program grows over the next 5-10 years as players make their way into and through the program. Amateur Golf Links:AmateurGolf.comSubscribeInstagramTwitterFacebookYouTube
