## Resource

If it takes you a few holes to finally feel loose… or like you have to "find your swing" every round… your warm-up might be the problem. Because a few quick stretches—or heading straight to the range—isn't actually preparing your body for the golf swing. In this episode, we break down what a warm-up is really supposed to do—and how to build one that actually helps you play better from your very first swing. You'll learn: Why your nervous system plays a key role in how your swing feels How breathing can instantly improve movement, focus, and tension The 3 planes of motion (and why most golfers are missing one or two) How to properly prepare your body for rotation, sequencing, and control A simple 7-minute warm-up you can use before any round If you're tired of feeling stiff, inconsistent, or rushed early in your round, this episode will give you a clear, simple way to show up feeling more ready, more connected, and more confident.
