Shawn Humphries Golf Performance

Staying On Course

Golf is about life. You set a goal, but in order to achieve it, you have to go through the process. Even if you’re the most talented person on the block, you have to know how to play the game. And if you aren’t as talented, you have to know your strengths to build a sound game. Ultimately, knowledge is power. The more knowledge you have, the more likely you are to make it to that 18th hole without hitting a lot of bunkers and hazards. That’s how Shawn teaches in person, and that’s how he teaches in his book and DVD. If you follow the steps, you’ll have a better game for life.

In Shawn's words:

There are two assumptions that guide the world's best teachers and coaches: 

• Each person’s talents are enduring and unique.
• Each person’s greatest room for growth is in the areas of his or her greatest strengths.

I believe there are three principals to playing the game: 

• For an activity to be a strength you must be able to do it consistently.
• You do not have to have strength in every aspect of your game in order to excel.
• You will excel only by maximizing your strengths, never by fixing your weaknesses.

The key to building a legitimate strength is to identify your dominant talents and then refine them with knowledge and skills.  Many people don’t appreciate what talents are, let alone what their talents are. They think that with enough practice almost anything is learnable and don’t actively seek knowledge and skills to enhance their individual talents.  Instead, they fall into the trap of trying to acquire as much knowledge and as many skills as they are able to better themselves in some general way, smoothing out their rough edges, and emerging suitably well rounded.  To build strengths in your game you must avoid this trap.

Driven To Teach
Shawn’s passion for golf brought him to his greatest passion in life – teaching. Very few people get the opportunity to do even one thing they love every single day, much less two. Shawn Humphries spends every day doing exactly what he wants – helping people improve their swing, their game, the amount of fun they’re having, and sometimes, even their lives.

A lot of Shawn’s students are repeat clients because whenever they’re around Shawn they have a good time, and he makes them feel good about themselves. He has the innate ability to draw out their talents and teach them the knowledge and skill required to pave a new path for success.
