ABOUT BEING A GREAT COACH

• My goal is to be a GREAT COACH.  Good just won't do it for me.

• I am a full time golf coach and have been for 15 years.  This is not something I do on the side.

• I consider it a privilege to work with you on your golf game.  I take your trust in me very serious.

• I have plenty of trophies from my competitive playing days; now it's about YOU!

• I believe that people have within them a much greater ability to change and improve than they think.

• I care deeply about my students reaching their goals.  

• When I start working with serious students, I AM ALL IN!

• The combination of student and coach working together toward a common goal leads to success.

• If you trust me to help you, you can improve.  

• If you no longer trust me to help, it is time to find another coach that you do trust to help you.

• I believe that coaching requires much more than being a good golfer or understanding the golf swing.  

• I believe that learning to be a great coach takes time: perhaps 10 years or more.

• I strive to be the best coach I can each and every day.

• I am committed to constant learning: from other great coaches as well as from students.

• I never give up on a student.  They may decide that the effort isn't worth it, but I don't give up.

• Once we start working together, you, not me, will define success.

ABOUT LEARNING WITH MARK POLICH

• My goal for you is LASTING IMPROVEMENT.

• I focus on helping you learn skills and understanding, not swing theories and positions.

• I don't teach band aid fixes:  they don't last.

• Coaching sessions are about you.  I won't hit many balls, if any.

• I use technologyto make learning easier for you which speeds up the improvement process.

• The primary technology I use is TrackMan because I prefer to rely on facts, not opinion

• When it comes to DISTANCE, CLUB SPEED RULES

• When it comes to DIRECTION, CLUB FACE RULES.

• I use video technology when appropriate.

• Since we are unique, I teach each student differently.

• I rely on the BioSwing Dynamic Model to help me understand what your body is capable of.

• I do not teach students to swing like any touring professional.  We are all unique.

• You don't choose your swing, it chooses you.

• I help you learn YOUR BEST SWING. 

• I believe that the golf swing is a syncronized motion involving the body, arms, hands, and club. 

• I spend less time telling you what to do & more time helping you understand what's happening.

• In addition to helping you understand, I provide options you have for improving your results.

• I strongly believe that improvement is a process that takes time and patience.

• Tinkering with your swing is a good way to get lost and significantly reduce your improvement.
