EP 97: Use It or Lose It — The Physiology Behind Your Golf Game

from Pivot The Path · host SSWING

What are the parallels between an NFL player and your average golfer? More than you might think. Recently, NFL legend Jason Kelce asked himself a simple question: Could I still complete an NFL workout now that I’m retired? The result was a humbling reminder that even elite athletes lose strength, speed and capability if they stop training for the demands of their sport.And the truth is, the same principle applies to you and your golf game. If you want to generate rotational power, control the clubface, maintain mobility and swing consistently, you have to train those physical capabilities with purpose. Your body adapts to what you do most often — stop challenging it, and it stops being ready to perform.“Use it or lose it” isn’t just a phrase — it’s physiology. And if you’re serious about improving, staying strong and playing your best golf for years to come, that commitment to consistent movement, strength, and intention is how you truly Own Your SSWING.Mentions in this episode:Can Jason Kelce still do an NFL workoutScott Young with the NYU Golf Lab on ABC NewsShop SSWING Swag  👉 Explore the collection and show the world how you Own Your SSWING — on the course and everywhere else.Join the SSWING SocietyBe part of a growing community of golfers, movers and performance-minded individuals committed to mastering their game.📬 Join the SSWING Newsletter: www.sswing.comYour weekly drive — The Friday Fix — delivering golf movement, mastery tips and all things SSWING straight to your inbox.Support the ShowFollow our Social Media for all the best moments from the show:Pivot The Path Instagram - click here!SSWING YouTube - click here!SSWING Website - click here! SSWING Instagram - click here!
