GSA Level 2 Certification Overview

WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:08.920
All right, coaches, welcome to the GSA level two certification.

2
00:00:08.920 --> 00:00:14.010
Now in this level, we're going to dig a little bit deeper into movement by

3
00:00:14.010 --> 00:00:15.120
reviewing some

4
00:00:15.120 --> 00:00:17.080
of more of the fundamentals.

5
00:00:17.080 --> 00:00:22.280
So in level one, we kind of covered the key movements and the basic anatomy and

6
00:00:22.280 --> 00:00:22.880
I helped

7
00:00:22.880 --> 00:00:26.680
you kind of put them together by looking at some of those case studies.

8
00:00:26.680 --> 00:00:32.240
In this, we're going to look more at how to simplify the golf swing by looking

9
00:00:32.240 --> 00:00:32.760
at the

10
00:00:32.760 --> 00:00:39.320
basics, but from an understanding of movement and anatomy and 3D graphs.

11
00:00:39.320 --> 00:00:41.600
So there's two big parts to this system.

12
00:00:41.600 --> 00:00:46.680
We've got the first grouping where we're going to look at the P system.

13
00:00:46.680 --> 00:00:51.800
So the P system is breaking down the swing into the classic checkpoints.

14
00:00:51.800 --> 00:00:58.820
This was originally developed by Maco Grady and the golf machine, so checking

15
00:00:58.820 --> 00:00:58.900
out the setup

16
00:00:58.900 --> 00:01:03.660
and then shaft parallel, arm parallel, top of the swing, arm parallel, shaft

17
00:01:03.660 --> 00:01:04.400
parallel,

18
00:01:04.400 --> 00:01:08.520
impact, shaft parallel, arm parallel, finish position.

19
00:01:08.520 --> 00:01:13.400
Those are good references for looking at how a golfer is swinging the club.

20
00:01:13.400 --> 00:01:16.830
And in this video, we're going to, or in this series, we're going to first talk

21
00:01:16.830 --> 00:01:17.200
about

22
00:01:17.200 --> 00:01:21.560
how is movement as a whole organized, we're going to talk more about the

23
00:01:21.560 --> 00:01:23.280
fashion system.

24
00:01:23.280 --> 00:01:30.140
And then we're going to look at each position and how that position relates to

25
00:01:30.140 --> 00:01:31.000
the kind

26
00:01:31.000 --> 00:01:35.330
of the physics goals of the swing as well as the body movement goals at that

27
00:01:35.330 --> 00:01:35.960
particular

28
00:01:35.960 --> 00:01:38.160
phase and why we might see certain tendencies.

29
00:01:38.160 --> 00:01:43.630
So my hope is after this program, you'll really be able to analyze video to a

30
00:01:43.630 --> 00:01:44.160
great

31
00:01:44.160 --> 00:01:45.800
detailed level.

32
00:01:45.800 --> 00:01:48.680
The second program is looking at the 3D graphs.

33
00:01:48.680 --> 00:01:54.830
So now in the first level, we looked at all the relevant graphs to the Golf

34
00:01:54.830 --> 00:01:56.160
Smart Academy

35
00:01:56.160 --> 00:01:57.160
system.

36
00:01:57.160 --> 00:02:01.480
So we looked at kind of how the graphs fit together.

37
00:02:01.480 --> 00:02:06.360
In this program, we're going to take a step back and look at each individual

38
00:02:06.360 --> 00:02:07.120
graph.

39
00:02:07.120 --> 00:02:11.680
We'll look at what anatomical structures are really involved with that graph.

40
00:02:11.680 --> 00:02:17.800
What swing phases or movement are really related to that particular graph?

41
00:02:17.800 --> 00:02:20.200
And then what are the common patterns that you'll see?

42
00:02:20.200 --> 00:02:25.740
So I'm going to share my experience, the kind of the theoretical information

43
00:02:25.740 --> 00:02:26.320
that I got

44
00:02:26.320 --> 00:02:28.920
a lot from TPI and KVS and things like that.

45
00:02:28.920 --> 00:02:34.860
So at the end of this program, you will be very comfortable with any graph as

46
00:02:34.860 --> 00:02:35.760
it relates

47
00:02:35.760 --> 00:02:40.500
to the torso positions, the pelvic positions, the kinematics sequence, or the

48
00:02:40.500 --> 00:02:41.360
arm graph.

49
00:02:41.360 --> 00:02:45.960
Those are kind of the big standard graphs that you'll see with most systems.

50
00:02:45.960 --> 00:02:49.500
And I want you to feel really comfortable if any of your players ever ask you

51
00:02:49.500 --> 00:02:50.160
questions

52
00:02:50.160 --> 00:02:54.560
about it or send you their graphs that they get captured.

53
00:02:54.560 --> 00:02:58.890
You will feel 100% confident looking at those graphs that you'll know what to

54
00:02:58.890 --> 00:02:59.520
analyze.

55
00:02:59.520 --> 00:03:01.240
So dive in.

56
00:03:01.240 --> 00:03:04.440
I recommend going through the P system first, but you can really tackle it in

57
00:03:04.440 --> 00:03:05.040
any order.

58
00:03:05.040 --> 00:03:08.760
If you have any questions, comment below and we will do our best to clarify

59
00:03:08.760 --> 00:03:09.200
them.

60
00:03:09.200 --> 00:03:10.600
So enjoy level two.

61
00:03:10.600 --> 00:03:12.960
I'm really proud of this information.

62
00:03:12.960 --> 00:03:16.320
I think it will elevate your understanding of the golf swing to a higher level.
