Get on Board with Kevin Kirk (How to Develop Effective Decision Making)

Episode #68 of The Coaches Network Podcast

The guest for this episode is Kevin Kirk. Named 2019 PGA Teacher of the Year, Kevin coaches PGA, LPGA and Ladies European Tour players, including Patrick Reed (PGA Tour/Olympian/Ryder Cup/Masters winner, 2012 to present), Lexi Thompson (LPGA Tour/Olympian/Solheim Cup, 2016 to present), Jhonattan Vegas (PGA Tour/Olympian, 2002 to present), Mark Hubbard (PGA Tour, 2012 to present), and Maria Verchenova (Ladies European Tour/Olympian, 2014 to present). Since 2013, Kevin has been recognized as a "Golf Magazine Top 100 Teacher".

For over 15 years, Kevin has been a pioneer in the application of empirical analysis of golf statistics that allow players to optimise tactical decision making (analogous to the use of "Moneyball" analytics in other sports). In cooperation with his long-time Australian counterpart who developed software for the collection of key data, Kevin developed a methodology for interpreting and applying golf player data to answer specific questions ("Kirkmetrics"), and its success can be measured in the results of his players.

To continuously innovate, Kevin collaborates with performance leaders in other sports, and regularly hosts top coaches from around the world to compare results and explore ideas. He also provides camps for national golf teams and elite players, and authors articles in Golf Magazine, Golf Digest, In Play Magazine and other publications. Kevin actively promotes the game of golf though his support of junior golf and education.

Kevin joins CoachYas to discuss a range of experiences, lessons learned and tips to put into practice. Enjoy!
