How to Stay Strong Throughout YOUR Season - Abbey Wills
Want to reach your full potential and keep yourself at the top of your game?
Taking care of your body is key when striving to enhance performance. This is important regardless of whether your sport or activity has a specific time period when the training/competition intensifies, or participation is continuous throughout the year.
As you're managing your body during a long season, keep these tips in mind.
Sleep is important. When trying to fit additional sport related tasks into your day, do not sacrifice sleep. Schedule your day in advance, limit screen time before bed, and avoid caffeinated products after 5 pm.

Changing the Sport of Golf: Mixing Physicality, Mental Toughness, Timing, Biomechanics and more!
Golf is truly one of the fastest growing sports in the country. No longer is golf just a Sunday activity with friends, or a company outing. The amateur level of golf is growing in numbers, and the professional level is exploding with science. Kids are entering into the sport with coaches, schedules, personal training, physical therapy and mental guides. Adults are starting to discover the thrill of actually being good in Club tournaments, and participating year-round both outdoors and with indoor technology and training.
In years previous, if any extra effort was put in by the lay person, it would be in buying a better club, garnering better balls, or maybe watching the Golf Channel on television. Now, there are thousands of certified golf professionals- whether for club fitting, instruction in swing, putting, and even fitness. In a sport where the average 18-hole score is over 100 in the amateur realm, with practice swings and warm up included totaling 250, someone playing 20 rounds a year garners 5,000 swings, and that is not including endless hours trying to self-coach at the range. It is a repetitive activity that involves strength, flexibility, proper timing, body positioning, and posture that mimics the demands of other swing sports such as tennis, baseball, and lacrosse- but without a moving object...which should make it easier, correct? Like an open book test? One would only think...
