The Mike Bender Elite Golf Academy strives to create the optimal learning and training environment for junior golfers to reach their full potential. The training center’s students are immersed in an atmosphere where everything from the game’s basic fundamentals to the little-known subtle keys to success are incorporated into each day. At our academy, we combine Mike Bender’s major-championship winning MEGSA swing method with a comprehensive plan to maximize each student’s tournament preparation, practice techniques, physical conditioning and game management skills. Our elite training program also emphasizes the proper mental approach to a successful career in golf. Scientific research shows that it takes a minimum of eight to 12 years of training for an athlete to reach the elite levels of his or her sport. Unfortunately, too many coaches approach training with an attitude best characterized as the "win early and win often" approach. At the MBEGA, our commitment is to long-term athletic development incorporating all aspects of training, development and management, which is the only reliable route to long-term elite status. Best of all, Mike is on site nearly every day coaching and training the academy students himself. A specific and well-planned training regime will ensure optimum development and control the stress recovery cycle that leads to over-training and burnout. Ultimately, success is tied to training and performing well in the long-term, rather than winning in the short-term. There are no shortcuts to success in athletic preparation. Rushing development almost always results in shortcomings in physical, technical and tactical abilities. The uniqueness of the MBEGA can be defined in our periodization approach to every critical training element. Developing confident student/athletes, who strive to improve and love to compete, is the essence and core competency of the Mike Bender Elite Golf Academy. Here are some of the areas we concentrate on with all of our students. ! High-tech Swing Analysis! The MBEGA utilizes a video analysis system that allows an instructor to film a student's swing and digitize it onto a computer. With the aid of proprietary software, our instructors can analyze and identify even subtle faults and illustrate them to each student. Each session is taped and available to the student for future reference and to demonstrate tangible progress. Our academy also has access to two state-of-the-art TrackMan launch monitors and a SAM Putt stroke analyzer to provide the most accurate swing data available anywhere. These technologies are used by hundreds of players on the PGA and LPGA Tours every single week. ! Drills and Practice Technique! To achieve long-term athletic development, practice sessions are conducted every day. This consistent approach enables students to achieve a greater grasp of the swing’s finer points that require significant time to master. To achieve consistency and maximum power, our instructors prescribe corrective drills tailored to each student's individual needs. Additionally, students refine their skills using the MEGSA Perfect Practice Equipment developed by Bender to fine-tune their technical skills. High quality practice is more valuable than high volume practice. We don't want to have our students practice longer to improve, rather we give them unique tools to practice more effectively to achieve the desired result sooner. ! Course Management! It takes more than the correct technique to become a champion golfer. It includes mastering the art of managing oneself and the golf course. Our coaches have all played the game at the professional level and understand what is necessary to compete at the highest levels. To this end, a significant amount of each student's time is spent training and competing on the golf course under various conditions under the watchful eyes of our elite coaching staff. By playing often, students have the opportunity to apply what they have learned on the practice tee and in class. Comprehensive statistics are recorded and each round is discussed and analyzed with one of the MBEGA instructors. ! Fitness Training! Sports-specific training is essential to the success of any athlete. Having understood the need for strength and fitness in the elite levels of professional golf, our academy has retained fitness professionals and have specialized weight- training equipment on site to develop and implement golf- specific fitness plans for all students. Our academy also offers the first of its kind Speed Training Course designed to increase clubhead speed in our students. The program was designed by our very own Scott Sheppard and is a big competitive advantage for our students. By applying a tailored approach based on each athlete’s individual needs and goals we can enhance strengths and address weaknesses to truly maximize the time investment in all of these areas: Mobility/Flexibility, Core Posture, Movement, Strength and Power and Energy System Development. ! Tournament Preparation! Since mental preparation is a major part of golf, one of the instructor's roles is to assist students in developing formal routines for on and off the course. Formalized routines make for more consistent play and allow students to focus more clearly while competing. Students practice in all types of weather and are trained to handle all types of inclement conditions during tournament play. Because all of our staff instructors have significant experience competing at the professional level, we are able to fully prepare our students for the rigors of competing against the game's elite players. Why our program offers the best competitive coaching available in the game today: ! • World-class instruction by Mike Bender, who is on site nearly every day, and his certified instructors. • Daily practice at our new $1 million world-class comprehensive training center. • All training is individually customized, efficient, precise and goal oriented. • Periodized Training to help each athlete reach peak performance for key tournaments. • Training fully integrated to develop technical, tactical, physical, mental and nutritional components. • A wide variety of practice techniques creates proper stimulation and avoids boredom and burnout. • While the primary objective is individual improvement, we also emphasis making the process fun. • One of the few facilities in the world to offer the TrackMan launch monitor swing analysis, SAM Putt Lab putting stroke analysis and V-1 video swing analysis. • Training on the MEGSA Perfect Practice Equipment used by multiple major champions for training. • Comprehensive golf-specific fitness program with a certified Titleist Performance Institute trainer. • A mental training program designed from feedback from top PGA and LPGA Tour professionals.
