CGP Ep391 Mike Weir: Team Approach to Building a Champion

In this episode, I share how the @mytpi Team Approach helped The Champ Mike Weir @mweirsy win his first Champions Tour event.

The main focus with Mike from day one has been to create a body that compliments what Coach Blackburn @blackburngolf is doing with his swing.

Mike has an incredible work ethic and has always put fitness and health as a priority. My job was to make sure that the work he's doing, pays off.

Being fit isn't enough. We had to create a body with incredible vertical thrust paired with rotational speed. Mike wants to compete each year at Augusta and for that, you need to be able to bomb it!

Mike has "feels" or movement patterns that aren't optimal for his swing. We do a ton of neuromuscular high triplexity work to challenge his nervous system and have it trust the new patterning that compliments the technical aspects Mark is developing in his swing.

He struggled with some mobility issues so we brought in mobility guru Janet Alexander @janetalexander1. Janet had a past with Mike so it was easy to integrate her system into the power and speed program.

We also work on Mike maintaining his weight and optimizing his health so having Robert Yang @robertyang consulting on the nutrition end makes sure we aren't missing anything.

At the end of the day, it's a group effort led by Coach Blackburn who is amazing at utilizing each member of the team's skills to their fullest and making them fit into Mike's swing!
