Hugh has an incredible depth of knowledge and experience having coached at all levels of the game but most notably with some of the best players in the world on the European Tour.
As well as his full time role as a coach Hugh is now involved in his passion which is mentoring young aspiring coaches to be the very best version of themselves.
We got the chance to discuss Hugh’s view of the current state of coaching.
- How many coaches respond to trends.
- The dangers of too much YouTube ‘information’
- How we KNOW too much but UNDERSTAND too little.
- What does a good lesson REALLY look and feel like?
- How we can only influence ONE thing as coaches
- Why you should NEVER have to get worse to get better
- Why more practice is not the simple answer
- How the ‘team’ of a player needs to evolve
- Why it is important to prioritise WHO you are taking information from and WHEN
- How to make your practice more RELEVANT
- The vital importance of hitting ONE more green per round and holing ONE more putt from 6ft
- Why your CARRY distance is so important with your irons than total distance
- Why it is VITAL to know your golf course and the most RELEVANT shots you will hit
- The challenges of being a TOUR COACH
- The highs and the lows
- The challenge of not attaching personal emotion to players results
- Developing as a coach
- The importance of UNDERSTANDING as opposed to just knowledge
- The need to keep asking ‘WHY’
- Effective critical thinking
- Why ‘quick fixes’ need to be part of a good coaches armoury
