Why Condition For Golf?
The most important tool for golf is the GOLFER!
The golf swing is a very complex athletic movement that requires synchronization
of every muscle and joint in the body. It produces significant stress
on the spine, hips, and shoulders. It is imperative that your body
is conditioned properly to effectively dissipate these forces. If
you have muscle imbalances and/or a weak core, one or more of these
areas of your body will be overworked. The inevitable result will
be less than optimal performance and, sooner or later, injury.
In order to play to your full potential and avoid being sidelined
by injuries, you must condition specifically for
golf!

with your clubs, but rather with your body’s physical ability
to use them as tools, and your mind's ability to create and maintain positive mental/emotional states.
When your body is symmetrical, balanced, and powerful, you will
receive increased benefit from your golf lessons. Your teaching
pro will no longer have to find compensations to overcome your physical
deficits.

Program Schedule |
| The comprehensive assessment is required of all new clients. It is
recommended that each client get a re-assessment at the end of each
training phase.
Individual one-on-one instruction is provided for all stretches
and exercises for each phase. Generally only two or three sessions
are needed for most clients to feel comfortable working on their own
for the remainder of the training phase.
Another option is to work directly with Stephen each session throughout
the phase. Many clients have found this format to yield the best results,
especially in the latter phases of the program (dynamic strength and power).
Semi-private training sessions are available for our popular Junior Golf Conditioning Program. Please call for details.

 “I have been training with Coach Stephen since I was eleven, and just recently committed to a university on a golf scholarship. The stuff that I have learned, including my golf fitness workouts, nutrition and mental game have all played a big role in my success in AJGA tournaments through high school, and now being able to play at the college level. I have always felt stronger than my competition, both mentally and physically (I just crushed a 300 yard drive last week!). Big props to Stephen!”

 “Working with Coach Stephen has been a great experience from the very beginning. The program he implements is not just about getting stronger in order to hit the ball as far as you can; instead, it’s a comprehensive one that focuses on all aspects of your physical development. In working with him for a short time, I’ve noticed a significant difference in both my golf game and my overall physical well-being. This has been a great help in my tournaments and I will continue to use these programs during my college golf years to come.”

 "Lack of attention to my general health and a busy lifestyle were quickly deteriorating my ability to properly make an athletic and powerful golf swing. Then I met Stephen and Michelle. The nutritional plan that Michelle customized for me and my specific body type was life changing. Now I eat plenty of good food for my body and feel more energized that ever. Stephen created and help me implement a golf specific workout that turned me into a new man, both on and off the golf course. My workouts with Stephen are challenging and fun. It is amazing how Stephen was able to FOCUS my time and energy with both the in studio and at home workouts. These workouts were easily incorporated into my very busy lifestyle. Most importantly the RESULTS were phenomenal. My strength, balance and overall endurance on the golf course has increased ten fold! After working with Stephen my body moves naturally. My golf swing had returned to a simple turn back and turn thru motion simply because MY BODY IS BALANCED AND STRONG and capable of performing the athletic dynamic motion of the modern golf swing. Work with Stephen if you want to become a Free and Powerful swinger of the golf club!

 “Stephen Ladd used his expertise to provide a personalized fitness plan for my unique golf challenges and goals. His dedication and motivation to achieving the best in all levels of competition is contagious. He helped me prepare to train and compete at an intense level. I entered the world of collegiate golf knowing how to train and assured in my preparation. Stephen was a motivator, coach, trainer and supportive companion, spurring me on to accomplish my goals and then to set new ones. To this day, I am truly thankful.”

 "Before I started working
with Stephen, I had significant limitations in my golf swing. I had
always been a big hitter (averaging around 245 yards a drive). Stephen
watched me take a few cuts with my driver and estimated that I was
only reaching about 75% of my drive potential. I had tightness throughout
my body, causing me to “muscle” the club, rather than
swinging freely through the ball.
After just a few weeks of working with Stephen, I noticed that my
shoulder and hip were starting to loosen up. Surprisingly,
some of the old aches and pains caused by my years playing football
The biggest improvement I’ve noticed occurs after playing 18
holes of golf. I have more energy and am not tired at the end of a
round. There have been a few times
when I play more than one round of golf in a day and I’m able
to finish as strong as I start. In fact, I feel as if I could
play more golf if I wanted. Also, my back isn’t sore the next
day. I’ve been able to hit the ball further, with less effort. My drives are now averaging around
275 yards (I even hit a 320!) The people I golf with have noticed.
Getting in better physical shape has allowed me to concentrate more
on the mechanics of the game—making me a better golfer. "

"After working with Stephen's golf fitness program, especially the Resistance Stretching and the strength and power phases, I've gotten a significant improvement in my distance with all my clubs, while swinging with more ease and fluidity. My instructor is very pleased with my ability to keep my spine angle constant throughout my swing, which will certainly improve my consistency and scoring."

“In addition to your excellent book curing me after 6 years of the yips, I got my first hole in one after 20 years during a recent outing in Spain. A coincidence…I don’t think so! Thanks to you I’m swinging better, feeling better, and playing better than ever. This stuff is really GREAT!
Cheers,”

 "Since I started training at The Human Form, my golf game has improved by leaps and bounds. I have more flexibility, balance and strength. Both my distance and accuracy has been off the charts. Also, with Michelle's help I have been able to lose over 50 pounds, and feel like I can play 36 holes and keep up with guys half my age."

 "I initially came into The Human From as a post-rehab client to get rid of my chronic low back pain, and to be able to play golf without hurting for
three days afterwards. I was able to achieve all of that and a great deal more. I am now stronger than I have ever been in my life, and am no longer limited by my back. Stephen in always ultra-positive and that truly makes the workouts the highlight of my week."

“The biggest limitations I see with my students are stability, strength and flexibility. We have students from all over the world ranging in age from 10 to 24 and each has limitations that are very specific. With this program, we have an opportunity to give each student an individual program. It accelerates the learning process dramatically ”

“If your son or daughter has a passion for the game of golf and wants to play in college, the best thing that you can do for them is to help make their dreams come true by surrounding them with the right coaches. As they say, champions are made, not born. If you want to give your child a fighting chance, you need to choose a good swing coach and a golf specific strength and mental coach. In the latter category, Stephen Ladd is hands down the best. In the 7 years that my daughter has worked with him, he has never disappointed. He motivates her to strive to become better and stronger, and it shows! Her core strength and agility is unparalleled. Her golf game has constantly improved, never plateaued. Most important is the fact that he has helped her to become a confident and focused young woman.”

I’ve known Stephen Ladd for quite a few years now and not only is he a great guy but he’s an expert in golf conditioning for the body and mind. That’s very, very important when it comes to improving a junior golfers game. You should NOT just go to a gym and expect to get good advice for a junior golfer. You need an expert in golf conditioning and that’s Stephen.
After reading his new golf fitness for juniors book I wish I had a book like this when I was a junior because it would have given me a big advantage over my competition. This ebook covers everything from golf specific exercises, to diet, the mental side, preparation for tournaments and on and on. It’s 125 pages of great helpful information. So if you’re a parent of a junior golfer this system is a “must-have” to help them become the best golfer they can and have a big advantage over the other junior golfers.

“This is exactly what we are looking for to introduce our members to the Mental and Fitness side of the game! More and more our kids are looking for that extra advantage when competing against the nations top junior golfers. Your fitness assessment is brilliant and gives each player complete confidence in knowing that the work they are going to put in is specific and appropriate for them. Plus the phases and levels allow them to work up to top golf fitness at their own pace. Our kids are now very excited about improving their bodies and minds to lower their scores! We look forward to continuing to work with you and sharing our success stories.”

“The information provided by “Golf Training for Juniors”provided us with just what our son needed to improve. We have the technical part covered with a great swing coach, but had the sense that certain elements were missing and holding him back. He has been working out for quite a while now and practicing the mental suggestions in the book. Last week in a tournament he bogeyed on his first hole and shot a 70. He is now playing the best golf of his life and I’m so proud of him. You can tell that the Renegade Golf Team is passionate about teaching our junior golfers. They thoroughly covered everything and our son is doing what he really enjoys. Thank so much!”
