What Athletes Say
“
I have worked with many different coaches throughout my golfing career, but what sticks out most about Eric's way of coaching is that he accepts golf swings for what they are and focuses on the mental aspects of the game. Whether it's getting you outside your comfort zone or altering your mindset, Eric does whatever it takes to assure his students show up on the golf course and more importantly in life.

“
Once I started working with Eric everything about my golf game changed. My skill, swing, scores, consistency, problem solving, and mindset. Within a year Eric had completely changed what I thought was a chore, into a game I constantly am trying to improve at. He explains the changes he's making until you understand it and why. But, he also has given me a mindset that allows me to perform better and not just rely on a specific swing. The mindset allows me to problem solve on my own, ultimately making me a better golfer.

Eric has been my coach for 4 years and has helped me transform my golf game. Before I started to work with Eric I thought golf was all about how you physically played but Eric has helped me see how important the mental part of the game is.... Eric has not only helped me refine my skills but also taught me how to believe in myself and enjoy the process. I'm playing my best golf ever and feel equipped to take on any challenge- on or off the course.

“
Since working with Eric, I have been able to make huge improvements on the golf course just by changing the way I think. He taught that golf is not all about the swing but rather what you think about before, during, and after each shot. His ideas apply to every level of golfer, especially one trying to compete at a high level.
