My guest for this episode is Sean Foley. Sean is widely recognized as one of the premier golf coaches in world golf having worked alongside some of the smartest professionals in the golf world and then using those experiences while helping some of the worlds best players to realise their own existing potential.
In this episode we start by chatting about how Sean would best describe what it is that he does and indeed whether the path to get there has been a conscious one of more born from merely the ever-changing experiences of life and indeed the challenges and the failures that it provides us all.
We discuss his perspective on how the club golfer can improve their practice or learning experiences and leading on from that we chat about the new learning aid that he has created with his fellow Canadian golf coach David Woods. With the mention of the Pro Sendr learning aid we get a chance to delve into some technical discussion on how the device works and indeed some discussion on the role of that trail arm and wrist in golf swing.
We talk about breathing and its discussion in golf.
For the coaching section we discuss his view on protecting players against his preferences in sessions and what might be a more player beneficial approach and Sean gives some advice to coaches out there in creating relationships with experts in certain fields to really improve or hone your craft.
When starting to edit this podcast I felt this was one of my poorer hosting displays. I have known about Sean for nearly 4 years now and gotten to known him for the last two of those. Some of the most poignant, significant career developing moments in my last 4 years have been learnings from Sean either in person, through messages or from a post or podcast etc. My want for this podcast was to try and give you all a similar experience and I felt I really didn’t ask the right questions to create that learning experience for you all.
Aside from that I think what comes across to me is how comfortable Sean is in who he is. He is without doubt one of the smartest people in golf, in terms of knowledge and the knowledge to keep learning from others, yet there never seems to exist a need to advertise that fact. I said at the start of this Podcast that his influence affected me as a person more than a golf coach and the more I delve into the hierarchy of golf coaching, the more I realise they are equally important to be successful in this field.
I have spent more than four years learning from Sean about love, respect and been a good human all the while in the background waiting for the day to learn more about his swing preferences, his thoughts on downswing etc. On closer reflection perhaps my beliefs in what I needed to learn from him was not aligned with how he felt he could best help.
Sean has always insisted you have to go through it to get to it so I really do hope as you all go through this podcast you do get something out of it that helps you as a golfer, coach and person.
