This story reveals the kind of coaching that makes kids feel safe, valued, and ready when the moment matters most.
"My previous training had slowed me down and led to repetitive injuries. Eric helped me regain my speed using breathwork and different exercises I hadn't done before."
— Grace Burns, Team Puerto Rico Starter, Rockland County POY
Ellery had a rough start to her season. Through somatic coaching, she learned why certain parts of her swing were always difficult to change — and the training helped her finally make progress.
"Without the mental coaching I don't know if I could have tied for 1st place in the County Championships."
— Ellery Talbot, FCIAC Co-Champion
“My son first came to Eric with an overuse golf injury, de Quervain’s syndrome. Eric corrected the movement patterns contributing to it, and it never returned.
The strength program reduced swing inconsistencies and helped progress swing lessons. He helped my son believe he could play in college and he is now starting as a freshman on his college golf team.
— Kate and Jay Lupo
“Eric’s impact on my daughter was immediate. She loved how much Eric made the technical stuff relevant to her when training. The training made her private swing lessons more effective. Her confidence has shifted completely.”
— Jill Talbot
“Our daughter trusted Eric more than any other strength coach she's worked with. Playing soccer since she was 4, Grace was suffering from tightness in her calves and ankles. Eric's approach was the only thing that created an actual path to improvement and helped her regain speed.”
— Stephanie and Brian Burns
Train the athlete before the sport.
Identity-Led Coaching
Wyatt looks back on the letter he wrote to his future self — and sees how much of it became real.
"What defines you isn't the bad round — it's your response to it."
— Wyatt
It starts with small shifts you can feel but can't quite name.
The Signs
The Back-Nine Collapse: Physical tension that leads to rushed tempo when the lead is on the line.
Playing "Safe": Aiming for the middle of the green because they're afraid of the big number.
Identity Tied to the Scorecard: A bad round ruins the entire weekend (and the car ride home).
The "Practice Range" Pro: Great in lessons, but the swing disappears the moment they step on the first tee.
The Real Issue
These aren't discipline problems. They're capacity problems.
In golf, it shows up as tension, rushed tempo, and a swing that disappears under pressure. Your kid is trying. They care. But pressure is accumulating without release.
Mechanics → Output → Results
Safety → Self-Trust → Expression → Performance → Results
Identity-led performance development that leaves the gym with you.
Identify the physical constraints blocking their swing speed and consistency.
Build a body that holds its form under the fatigue of a 3-day tournament.
Tools to reset the nervous system between shots, so one bad hole doesn't become three.
Breathwork for sleep and emotional processing to prevent burnout and "The Drift."
Specific routines for pre-round focus and post-round debriefs used by the pros.
Navigating the pressure of recruiting with a high-performance mindset.
Outcome: Your athlete identifies their physical "leaks" and learns to control their heart rate under pressure.
Outcome: Shifting from outcome-obsession to process-mastery—the trait college coaches look for most.
Outcome: A repeatable mental and physical process that holds up in the final round of a major tournament.
