This is Why You Don't Get Better After Lessons! (It's Not The Coach)

You can take a lesson from the best coach in the world and still waste your money. Not because the instruction is bad. Because of how you take the lesson! Shaun Webb and Mike Granato from Athletic Motion golf break down the player's side of the equation... the part almost nobody talks about. How to show up, what information to give your coach, why racing through a bucket of balls ruins everything, why you have to ignore your feels and the strike when you're making a mechanical change, and why every real swing change takes months, not one range session. This is the mindset and the method that separates golfers who get max value out of a lesson from golfers who walk away frustrated and no better. 🎁 FREE Training Here: 🎁 Make your BEST swing your NORMAL swing: https://athleticmotiongolf.com/consistency CHAPTERS: 00:00 The Two Halves Of A Golf Lesson 00:47 How To Show Up.

You can take a lesson from the best coach in the world and still waste your money. Not because the instruction is bad. Because of how you take the lesson!

Shaun Webb and Mike Granato from Athletic Motion golf break down the player's side of the equation... the part almost nobody talks about. How to show up, what information to give your coach, why racing through a bucket of balls ruins everything, why you have to ignore your feels and the strike when you're making a mechanical change, and why every real swing change takes months, not one range session.

This is the mindset and the method that separates golfers who get max value out of a lesson from golfers who walk away frustrated and no better.
