What is Golf Human Performance?
Golf human performance, or “golf fitness,” is a specialised approach to enhancing a golfer’s game by developing the physical qualities that directly impact the swing. The golf swing is a complex movement requiring coordinated effort from various muscle groups to move the club head effectively through impact and follow-through.
Through evidence-based physical training, movement optimisation and structured plans you can develop the "engine" behind your golf swing and improve performance on the course.
What?
Training methodology that addresses physical capabilities, movement patterns and golf-specific fitness to enhance your performance on the course.
How?
Through golf physical assessments, personalised training programmes, strength and conditoning, flexibility and mobility training and ongoing tracking.
Why?
Improving mobility, strength and power directly translates to better performance, lower scores, and reduced injury risk.
"For many, the perceived most physically demanding part of playing golf appears to be the few miles walked during a round. In reality, the golf swing is much more challenging. In the swing, you maximally rotate and coil your spine, externally rotate your trail arm, vigorously stretch your lead arm, and brace the muscles in your thighs and hips, all of which takes place in only the backswing.
The average male amateur golfer engages over 15 key muscles across multiple major muscle groups, producing approximately 2 horsepower at peak effort during the swing. The explosive, full-body nature of the golf swing is demonstrated by the fact that clubhead speeds of ~90-95mph can produce ball-club contact forces of 4000-6000 N at impact, transferred to the ball in less than a millisecond of contact.
Reconsidering your notion of the game may help you play better, add yards off the tee, stay pain-free and achieve more satisfying results."

“It's particularly intresting now being able to relate certain physical restrictions to swing faults. Josh is an extremely knowledgeable and approachable trainer, so I throughly recommend anyone who wants to improve their game to give this a go.

Leigh Medhurst 16.4 HCP
“Josh is very thorough and clearly explains how each assessment relates to the golf swing and performance. It quickly highlighted areas that need improvement, and how targeted training can address them.

“I was surprised to find my lower body was more of a limitation than my upper. Building strength should really help my distance and stability. Well worth doing, I enjoyed it very much.
”
Roger Lawrence 15.2 HCP
“It highlighted a loss of strength I hadn’t noticed, although I was pleased with my flexibility. The prospect of improving strength should help my distance. Worth checking yourself out rather than waiting for performance on course to deteriorate.
”
Vic Hartley 25.3 HCP
“Very informative session, my leg and grip strength were lower than expected. It's already clear how improving this will help with distance and feeling in control of the club.
”
Al Jenks 12.3 HCP

COTT Coaching was created to provide expert, science-based golf fitness coaching to golfers who want to hit the ball farther, move better, and play the game longer. With a background in Sport and Exercise Science and years of experience in the golf industry alongside PGA professionals, I developed a coaching system aimed at improving physical aspects of golf performance.
My approach combines a structured, personalised programme with clear guidance, ongoing communication, and modern coaching methods that fit into a busy lifestyle. Whether you train at home, in the gym, or with us at our training facilities, you'll have access to a dedicated training app, one-on-one support, and a coaching community that helps you progress week after week.
Through continued research and hands-on coaching, I create strength and conditioning programmes that focus on the key factors for better golf: speed, power, movement quality, injury prevention, and long-term athletic development. My goal is simple: to help golfers improve their performance, boost their confidence in their physical abilities, and enjoy the game at a higher level for years to come.
