TRAIN2TRUST

Take It To The Course.

Christopher’s signature Train2Trust™ programs break all the rules when it comes to how to practice effectively. Designed specifically to help you perform under pressure.

My Train2Trust program is based on over two decades of research in neuroscience, motor learning and human performance, and my own self-guinea-pigging in Speedgolf, to help you practice more efficiently, and effectively. No metabunk here people – only legit science + experience; those two comprise a powerful performance cocktail. Like with all legitimate structures, there must exist a foundation. Such is the case with Train2Trust, and its tenets, or principles.

01

Context
Specificity

image
The more your practice looks like a competitive round of golf, the more the practice will transfer to the golf course. Period.

02

The Suvorov
Principle

image
"Easy training, hard battle. Hard training, easy battle."

–Alexander Suvorov, legendary undefeated Russian general

03

Rest

image
The brain, body and central nervous system must have time to process, digest, and assimilate newness. Rest and recovery are essential.

04

Feedback

image
Accurate, relevant and timely feedback is critical to learning anything, golf being no exception.

05

Desired
Difficulties

image
"Less than perfect shots must be viewed as fantastic learning opportunities – NOT as failures or something to be avoided."

06

Randomness
& Chaos

image
The “inevitability of everything” must be practiced, as well. Expect nothing; prepare for everything.

07

Interleaving

image
Constantly changing clubs, lies, conditions, environments and situations – produces better recall, as well as the ability to handle new situations.

08

Spacing Effect

image
Learning and retention is greater, when practice is spread out over time–multiple sessions for shorter periods of time.

09

Quality Over
Quantity

image
“If you don’t have time to do it right, when will you have time to do it over?”

– John Wooden

10

Experience

image
Nothing has been learned until it has been experienced.

11

Individualize

image
Each golfer and human is a case study of one. Methods and models are nice for averages & statistical purposes (and real cop outs for teachers..) but the best way to swing a golf club and play the game, are the ways that work best for you.

12

Consequences

image
Practice and play must have consequence to them – they must matter. You have to care.
