COTTCoaching was created with the goal of expert fitness and sports coaching accessible to everyone. I believe that improving your health and fitness should be convenient and achievable, even with a busy schedule or limited access to a gym or training environment. With my background in sport and exercise science, I’ve developed a system that combines expert knowledge with flexibility, so you can receive professional coaching and personalised programmes from anywhere. My ambition is to help people reach their goals through structured, specific and tailored programme design alongside personal support and motivation, with attention to detail and continued coach-client one-to-one contact. With a background in golf working with a number of golf professionals and from personal research I have continued to develop my knowledge around the sport, designing strength & conditioning based programmes to develop the golfer, considering all aspects of fitness contributing to performance in golf.
COTT Coaching: Our Ethos & Client-Centred Approach
Specialising In Golf Human Performance
At COTT Coaching, we are skilled at maximising performance in golfers while building solid, lasting habits.
Read our training philosophy:
1. Personalised, Golf-Specific Coaching
We create tailored programs to improve your golfing ability and overall health. We tailor each program to your objectives, body strengths and weaknesses, equipment options, and lifestyle.
We help you to move more efficiently, feel stronger and play with confidence, whether accelerated swing speed, increased distance, greater mobility, or increased fitness is your long term goal.
2. Supportive, Trust-Based Coaching Relationships
We believe in solid support and dialogue. You'll have regular access to a listening coach, feedback, and monitoring through training app tools.
3. Sustainable Habit Change
Our coaching encourages lasting habits, regular practice, and healthier routine ways of living that benefit you both on and off the course.
4. Clear Goal Setting and Mental Discipline
We help you define concrete, quantifiable goals, short-term and long-term, and guide you with a plan to reach them. Along the way, you gain clarity, toughness, and focus, qualities essential for sport and life growth.
5. Flexible, Client-Driven Programming
No two golfers are the same. That’s why your plan adapts with you. As your needs change, so does your training, keeping it relevant, challenging, and effective.
6. A Community of Golfers Who Want More
COTT Coaching is proud to have an increasing community of golfers who are concerned with personal development, passionate about the game, and supportive of each other's success.
7. Success Beyond the Scorecard
Progress isn't always about golf-specific gauges like swing speed or distance, but about how you feel, your health, and how much you desire to continue. We see long-term engagement and lasting results as the true markers of success.
8. Expertise and Innovation
Our training is underpinned by professional strength & conditioning, biomechanics, and sport science expertise. You'll get evidence-based training that's continuously evolving, designed to bring you up to speed where you are and to take you further than that.
