JUNIOR PROGRAM PHILOSOPHY
WHY WE FOCUS ON ATHLETES FIRST, GOLFERS SECOND
We believe that the best way to help junior golfers reach their full potential is by first developing them as athletes. This approach is back by research from the Titleist Performance Institute (TPI) and the U.S. Olympic Center.
- Strong Foundation: Before kids can master golf’s fine motor skills, they need to achieve physical literacy. This is accomplished by functional motor skills and functional sports skills. These are the building blocks for all athletes in sports.
- Windows of Opportunity: Kids’ brains and bodies go through special stages where they are primed to develop certain skills. If we build athletic skills during those windows, learning golf techniques becomes easier and faster later on, raising their potential ceiling in the game.
- Avoiding Burnout: Many sports, including golf, are considered “late-specialization sports”. Focusing too early only on golf technique can slow progress, increase frustration, and even make kids more likely to lose interest.
- Confidence and Fun: If a child isn’t physically ready to perform certain movements, they’ll struggle and fail more often. Building athletic skills first ensures success, continuous development, keeps thins fun, and builds confidnence.
The Big Picture
By prioritizing athletic development early, we give juniors the tools, strength, and confidence they need to become better golfers long-term, while also setting them up for success in any sport or physical activity they pursue.
training technology
Here at SMART Golf & Fitness Instruction, we pride ourselves on having the latest technology and equipment available. It is our goal to provide each student with the highest quality experience, training, and development through the use of these tools. Our Junior Golf & Fitness Training program participants will have the opportunity to utilize these tools in order to enhance their understanding of their golf and fitness abilities. Keep reading to learn more about the technology that will be used throughout the Junior golf & fitness programs.
TRACKMAN 4 LAUNCH MONITOR
The TrackMan 4 launch monitor provides the user with the greatest detail and accuracy of the club and ball at the moment of impact. All major stakeholders of the game, use and trust Trackman numbers for two main reasons: precision and reliability. Trackman records the full trajectory of any shot, pinpointing the landing position with an accuracy of less than 1 foot at 100 yards, while seamlessly displaying the shot’s 3D trajectory together with 26 impact and ball flight parameters in real time.
TRACKMAN COMBINE TESTING
TrackMan Combine is a standardized test that enables players to identify the strengths and weaknesses in their golf game. There is a clear correlation between your TrackMan Combine results and your success on the golf course.
DRIVER & WEDGE TESTING
TrackMan Test Center allows players to test every aspect of their game. Junior Elites will be constantly tested for driver distance and accuracy to go along with regular wedge testing to dial in yardages from 100 yards and in.
SENSOR EDGE TECHNOLOGY
Sensor Edge technology provides comprehensive balance and vertical force assessment through specialized pressure plates that capture detailed biomechanical data during various athletic movements. The system offers dynamic live pressure mapping, weight distribution analysis, and center of pressure tracking allowing coaches to evaluate an athlete's balance capabilities, stability control, and vertical force production patterns. This data is essential for golf performance as it reveals how effectively athletes can maintain postural control during dynamic movements, generate vertical ground reaction forces for power transfer, and maintain bilateral balance symmetry.
KEISER RESISTANCE TRAINING EQUIPMENT
Keiser's pneumatic resistance technology offers variable resistance training that closely mimics the acceleration patterns found in golf swings. The equipment provides immediate feedback on power output, force production, and movement velocity across the entire range of motion, making it ideal for developing the explosive rotational power that drives distance in golf. Unlike traditional weights, Keiser's air-powered resistance allows for high-speed training without the deceleration phase, enabling golfers to train at swing-like speeds while building strength, power, and movement efficiency that translates directly to improved performance on the course.
ENODE PRO SENSOR TECHNOLOGY
Enode Pro analyzes movement data and converts it into straightforward training recommendations based on training goals utilizing velocity-based training principles to optimize strength development. The sensors track bar speed, power output, and movement quality during resistance exercises, providing objective feedback on training intensity and readiness. For golfers, this technology helps develop sport-specific power through precise monitoring of rotational exercises, explosive movements, and strength training that directly correlates to increased clubhead speed and improved swing mechanics.
K-VEST 3D MOTION TECHNOLOGY
K-Vest measures the body throughout the swing. The system helps to determine the efficiency of your swing, and how well you transfer energy from the body to the club head.. This technology allows us to accurately diagnose swing faults whether they may be physical or technical causes. This ensures the swing is solid, efficient, and repeatable.
