The 54 COACH programs are designed for coaches and teachers who want to apply the VISION54 approach to their own field of expertise. The How to Coach program is for anyone wanting more skills to coach themselves, another person or group. The What to Coach program is for golf teachers and coaches wanting to learn the foundation of the VISION54 Essential Playing Skills.

The What to Coach program will focus on your learning of the VISION54 foundation and specifically the Essential Playing Skills. During this two-day program you will be introduced to tools you can use as a coach/teacher to integrate all the elements that influence performance in golf: physical, technical, mental, emotional, social and spirit of the game.

54 COACH How to Coach

The How to Coach program will improve your coaching abilities both on and off the course. The program goes further than improving your golf coaching, as it serves to create a stable foundation for the actual coach with regards to life. The course will challenge your preconceived notions of coaching and re-direct your focus onto establishing a better foundation for you as a coach. This program is ideal for any and all coaches. It is also most beneficial for anyone that is seeking a better understanding of Sport and/or Life Coaching and interaction with people, students, family, or themselves.


During this two-day training program we will guide you on how to become clear on your own beliefs and intentions for coaching. We believe one of the major roles in coaching is to enable others to learn and take ownership of that learning. When coaches give power to the people/players they are coaching they ultimately allow them to make better decisions and enhance their long-term learning and development. This training program will increase awareness of your strengths and potential areas for improvement. You will get to practice your communication skills, learn how to develop an integral approach to coaching golf, and decide on your own “maintenance & future practice” as a coach/teacher.

Some main topics:
How to discover clarity of your own intentions and beliefs.
How to coach and support players to be their own best coaches
How to ask questions, listen and give feedback in the most effective way
How to create trust with the players you coach
