Mastery 360 Program
A Long-Established Commitment to Excellence
In our 35 years of training competitive junior players we have solidified ourselves as top performance professionals with proven methods, tour used concepts, and an impressive track records of high school, college, and professional athletes. We leave no stone unturned in the pursuit of our students goals and desired achievements.
What is Mastery 360?
M360 is a high-performance program for families with the vision and commitment to pursue excellence at the highest levels. Helping athletes take their next step – from discovery to mastery.
The program is designed to meet athletes where they are in their development and prepare them for what’s next. At every level, we focus not just on building golf skills, but on shaping adaptable problem solvers who can reflect, regulate, compete, and grow through every challenge.
We value the the privilege we have to influence our athletes and strive to provide transformational coaching. The goal is not to only develop great golfers, but to instill strategies and habits that fuel excellence in every aspect of life.
Who is Mastery 360 for?
M360 is designed for athletes who are:
- Hard-working, accountable, and goal-driven
- Inquisitive learners who embrace challenges
- Committed to long-term growth and self-improvement
M360 Program Includes:
- Private Training. Each player will receive a customized blueprint that focuses on technical improvement and skill development. A unique performance plan will be developed for each athlete that sets goals, critical performance metrics, and a custom playing/training schedule.
- Competitive Group Training. We believe in fostering a healthy competitive environment which is known to heighten motivation and intensify focus. Being surrounded by other highly driven athletes contributes to strong culture of team, discipline, and mastery.
- Mental Coaching. Unique training that leads our athletes to being present in their experiences and cultivates the capacity to let go of disappointments, frustrations, and anger. The intention of this training is not to stop anyone’s reflexive reaction of judging a shot or striving to become an accomplished golfer, but rather to learn to be detached when inner self-criticism or self-doubt arise. Students learn that these techniques can be applied in school, home, and on the golf course.
- Speed Training. It’s no secret that more distance is where the game is going, and added yards increases scoring opportunities. Our athletes will go through a 8 week course using dynamic, oscillating, and variable resistance exercises. The results of this course have been extremely successful with participants seeing between 10-30 yards of increased distance.
- Course Management System. Students learn how tournament winners manage their game by optimizing course strategy. DECADE, the hottest program in golf was developed by our friend, Scott Fawcett. This course management system has solved golf strategy by combining shot distribution patterns and elite scoring statistics. Our players learn a simple way to optimize target selection and conquer expectation management.
- Tournament Readiness Blueprint. This course helps our athletes overcome the frustration and anxiety that often accompanies competitive golf. By providing step-by-step framework and guidance, our players can walk to the first tee with the assurance and confidence that comes from effective preparation.
