| 4/27/26 |  118: Lifting Heavy Won't Make You Stiff: 3 Strength Training Myths Busted | There are three myths about strength training that are keeping golfers from doing the single most impactful thing they can do for their game. In this episode, I'm busting all three and I'm not holding back. Myth one: lifting heavy will make you stiff and hurt your swing. Myth two: golfers need to train completely differently than other athletes. Myth three: you need to constantly change your program or your body stops responding. All three are wrong. And believing any one of them is costing y... | 6m 21s | ||||||
| 4/20/26 | 117: 3 Warm-Up Mistakes That Are Killing Your First Tee Shot | In this episode, Shaun breaks down the three most common pre-round warm-up mistakes that are costing golfers performance and increasing injury risk and what to do instead. What you'll learn: Mistake #1: Relying on static stretching as your warm-up. Holding stretches before explosive activity tells your muscles to lengthen and relax the opposite of what you want before generating speed and force. Research shows decreases in power output, reaction time, and force production after static stretch... | 5m 40s | ||||||
| 4/13/26 | 116: The Truth About Speed Training (And Why It's Probably Hurting You) | In this episode, Shaun takes on one of the most hyped and most misunderstood trends in golf fitness: overspeed training. This isn't an anti-speed-training episode. It's a pro-doing-things-in-the-right-order episode. What you'll learn: Why speed training tools CAN work but only for about 5% of golfers who are physically ready for themThe two baseline requirements for safe speed training: adequate rotational mobility in all four rotary centers, and power output metrics that meet or exceed thres... | 6m 36s | ||||||

What you'll learn: Why your elbow is the victim, not the criminal — 9 out of 10 times the pain source is somewhere elseThe anatomy of what's happening at impact: flexion, ulnar deviation, and why the inside of the trail forearm gets hammeredThe medial epicondyle what it is and why it gets overloadedThree areas ... | 5m 15s | ||||||

| 3/16/26 | 112: Why Getting Older Is Not an Excuse to Lose Distance | If you've ever said "I'm just getting older" to explain why you're losing distance, this episode is your wake-up call. That belief is costing you decades of great golf and it's flat out wrong. The typical golfer loses about 10% of their club head speed per decade after 40. That's roughly 30 miles an hour over 30 years. About 100 yards of carry. That's the difference between playing golf and watching golf. But here's the thing that rate of decline is based on the average golfer who does absolu... | 5m 58s | ||||||
| 3/9/26 | 111: The 3 Ways Every Golfer Can Add 10 Yards in 10 Weeks | There are only three ways to increase your swing speed. That's it. Three. Everything else is just a variation. In this episode, I break down all three rotational mobility, strength and power, and speed-specific training and more importantly, I give you the exact order you need to tackle them in. Because most golfers do it backwards, and that's why they either get hurt or never see the results they should. Here's what you'll learn: — Why 9 out of 10 golfers have speed locked inside their body ... | 6m 58s | ||||||
| 3/2/26 | 110: Stop Wasting Money on Lessons Until You Do This | Are you spending $150 a lesson and not improving? It's probably not your instructor's fault and it's not yours either. The problem is that your body can't physically do what your instructor is asking it to do. In this episode, I break down why the body has to come first before golf lessons, how fixing your physical limitations turns a 2% return on instruction into a 15-20% return, and the exact first step you need to take before booking your next lesson. If you've ever been ... | 6m 09s | ||||||
