00:00Well, I even think about a player like Chez Revy, who you've coached for it feels like forever.
00:05If you go look at Chez Revy's golf swing, and if you've never seen him hit,
00:09first off, one of the straightest golf hitters I've ever seen in my entire life
00:13just comes out right in the center every single time.
00:16But here's a guy that has all sorts of things going on in his golf swing.
00:20And I imagine, you know, maybe a younger self would have seen this golf swing and said,
00:26well, I think I know what to do with this, but not really quite sure.
00:30When you have something so unique like a Chez Revy come through the door,
00:35like how nice is it to have that background with, you know,
00:38even just in college with your fitness background, working all the way up
00:41and having this technology to guide you?
00:44Yeah, no, it's great because you can see the genius of why something works.
00:48I think it's always good.
00:50You never judge a book by its cover.
00:52I always tell everyone that the best golfers generally make a really good noise
00:55and then if you just watch the golf ball, it's their ball control and what do they do?
00:59And I think we now have a much better appreciation of older swings,
01:04like swings going back in the day that tended to look,
01:07you didn't really, they were very idiosyncratic.
01:10They weren't, you were like, well, it doesn't really look right,
01:12but they were great players.
01:13And now you can see the genius of how that worked.
01:16And I think that's the part that you get when good players come in
01:20and they're good ball strikers.
01:20Okay, what makes them great?
01:22What are they doing?
01:23Okay, why does that work?
01:24And then you're trying to always do no harm.
01:27It's like a medical doctor, like you take an oath,
01:30like I'm trying to make you better,
01:32but I'm trying to do it without making you worse as well, right?
01:35So that's the great part.
01:37Like Chez had some great pieces.
01:39He was coming back from an injury.
01:40It was like, what are some of the adjustments you can make
01:42to not get re-injured?
01:43Why did you get injured?
01:45And I think it's one of those things where you're just trying
01:47to always build around what somebody does well.
01:50What is the DNA, the nucleus of what they do?
01:53And everybody who gets to the tour is great at something
01:57because they're the top 1% of the 1% of golfers around the world.
02:01So I think people sometimes forget that.
02:03Oh, that won't work.
02:04Well, if you'd gone back 15 years, people would look at Scotty Scheffler
02:09and probably go, that's not going to work.
02:11But it's genius.
02:12Like if you actually look at it now, a lot of what he does is incredible.
02:15And obviously Randy's so wise that he never changed any of it.
02:20He just nurtured it.
02:21And I think that's the part that's what good coaching is,
02:24is like how do you get somebody to continue to do things?
02:27And I think good athletes tend to, if you like, push the envelope
02:33and challenge the norm.
02:35And I think a lot of things when the Frisbee flopped,
02:37the first guy to do the high jump this way,
02:40everyone thought it was bonkers.
02:41Well, now it's the norm, right?
02:42So I think all of these things over time, things change,
02:47but your understanding of, oh, well, that will work because of this.
02:50That definitely takes a higher learning, but that's the fun part.
02:54If you've got a hammer, everything looks like a nail.
02:56But if you've got a toolkit, everything is kind of different.
02:59You can fix anything.
