    1. Paul determines plan based on the player’s goals, movement capabilities, apparent “golf IQ.” Plan takes into account fitness issues if Kayleigh is able to see the client first. 
    2. What comes first?
      1. Fitness/mobility or golf skills?
      2. What does the golfer want in the near  and long term?
      3. Biomechanics evaluations are always part of the first session.
      4. Speed related screens are part of every screen for any competitive or elite player
      5. Mental game is sometimes first. What is the player’s attention on? What is their process like before hitting a shot, before heading to the course or a competition?
      6. As golf coaches we are applied psychologists and we can do this part of coaching. 
    3. If Kayleigh didn’t see the client first, I conference with her and her team afterwards regarding fitness evaluation and player’s goals. Speed potential is a big subject for anything we are doing.

    6. Grip, set up and pivot/post changes can be extremely productive but also can go against a player’s DNA if they have been playing a certain way for a while.
