Abstract

Strength and conditioning (S&C) interventions for golfers consistently demonstrate improvements in performance metrics such as clubhead speed. Golfers typically employ Professional Golfers’ Association (PGA) coaches to support technical and tactical development. These coaches need to ensure golfers balance S&C training alongside competitions and technical golf practise, although no empirical data exist that demonstrates how this integration occurs practically. This study aimed to investigate the perceptions and practises of PGA Professional golf coaches and how S&C is integrated into the golf year. Forty-three (male = 35; female = 8) PGA coaches completed a mixed-methods survey with questions on themes such as coaching approach, perceptions of S&C, annual planning and goal setting. Results show that formal planning processes are highly variable or absent. The majority (n = 29; 70.7%) of PGA coaches stated they worked with an S&C coach and see the role of the S&C coach to support golfers with their input. However, when planning the season, 63.4% (n = 26) of coaches do so without input from the S&C coach. These and other related disconnects between desire for S&C intervention and inclusion of the S&C coach in planning processes were evident throughout survey responses. There may be subsequent risks of conflict or misunderstanding between PGA coach, S&C coach and golfer. It is recommended golf coaches, golfers and S&C coaches work collaboratively as a multidisciplinary support team to ensure coordinated golfer support is obtained.
高尔夫练习与力量调节的整合:来自专业高尔夫教练的见解
力量和体能(S&C)干预对高尔夫球手的表现指标,如杆头速度的持续改善。高尔夫球手通常聘请职业高尔夫协会(PGA)教练来支持技术和战术发展。这些教练需要确保高尔夫球手在S&C训练与比赛和技术练习之间取得平衡,尽管没有实证数据证明这种整合是如何在实践中实现的。本研究旨在探讨PGA职业高尔夫教练的认知和实践,以及S&C如何融入高尔夫年。43例(男35例;女子职业高尔夫球协会(PGA)教练完成了一项综合调查,问题的主题包括教练方法、对标准与标准的看法、年度规划和目标设定。结果表明,正式的规划过程变化很大或不存在。大多数(n = 29;70.7%)的PGA教练表示,他们曾与标准普尔C教练合作,并看到标准普尔C教练在支持高尔夫球手方面的作用。然而,在规划赛季时,63.4% (n = 26)的教练没有得到标准C教练的建议。在整个调查反馈中,在对标准与C干预的渴望与在规划过程中纳入标准与C教练之间,这些以及其他相关的脱节是显而易见的。PGA教练、s&p C教练和高尔夫球手之间可能存在冲突或误解的风险。建议高尔夫教练、高尔夫球手和S&C教练作为一个多学科的支持团队协同工作,以确保获得协调的高尔夫球手支持。

期刊介绍: The International Journal of Sports Science & Coaching is a peer-reviewed, international, academic/professional journal, which aims to bridge the gap between coaching and sports science. The journal will integrate theory and practice in sports science, promote critical reflection of coaching practice, and evaluate commonly accepted beliefs about coaching effectiveness and performance enhancement. Open learning systems will be promoted in which: (a) sports science is made accessible to coaches, translating knowledge into working practice; and (b) the challenges faced by coaches are communicated to sports scientists. The vision of the journal is to support the development of a community in which: (i) sports scientists and coaches respect and learn from each other as they assist athletes to acquire skills by training safely and effectively, thereby enhancing their performance, maximizing their enjoyment of the sporting experience and facilitating character development; and (ii) scientific research is embraced in the quest to uncover, understand and develop the processes involved in sports coaching and elite performance.
