WORKSHOPS AND SEMINARS
CREATE A CUSTOMIZED EXPERIENCE
Dr. Neal is available to speak at seminars, workshops, and coaching events on a wide range of golf performance and player development topics. At Golf BioDynamics, webinars and seminars cover subjects such as 3D movement analysis, ground reaction forces, transition, lag and impact, release patterns, and the forces and torques applied to the golf club. Sessions also explore pitching, putting evaluation, skill development, long game versus short game techniques, and the use of technology in coaching, including concepts like center of mass, center of pressure (COP), and 3D motion. Custom programs are available on demand for players, coaches, teams, and organizations.
Other topics include skill acquisition and motor learning, attentional focus, speed development, and long-term player development. Sessions also cover designing engaging practice environments and understanding the differences between teaching children and adults.
