“Don’t be late”. Simple advice.  Advice from a college coach.  Advice that carries  weight.  Especially when you are a junior golfer looking to play big time college golf! Growing up in the shadow of SMU, it was an easy decision to go to school and play golf close to home, then after a journey career that left him fighting too many injuries, he found himself living back near campus when he got a call that changed his life.  “Would you like to be my assistant coach?”  He wasn’t late, he was right on time! Now he is the head coach and brings a lifetime of experience on and off the course.   He runs a program of respect and hard work, he leads by example in life. The goal is simple, compete at a high level and win. Everything is bigger in Texas, including golf!

"You’re not everything that you could be! " That’s advice that is definitely enough to motivate someone. A career that started working with Special Forces in the military and the desire to work with athletes, lead him to Kinesiology - the study of exercise and human movement.   The talk of things like Ground Reaction Force and the development of a platform to gauge Bio-Mechanical Analysis charted a new path. -All movements start and end with posture -What doesn’t get measured, doesn’t get managed. -When the tides rolls in, all boats rise….this is what strength brings -How do we produce strengths instead of just producing strength? Phrases that never left his thoughts! All of this is incredibly clear to the man who helps train, motivate and sculpt the modern athlete.
