Why do we assess?

We’re looking for the PRIMARY LIMITER.

The primary limiter is the thing that, if improved, would make you better the fastest.

We assess swing, we assess strength, power, speed, mobility, practice.

We want to know why you’re not better than you are, and how to get you there as fast as possible.

The assessment drives the decision on what to do next.

If you want to dive deeper, check out our latest blog post about this very topic.

Here are 4 exercises I have been using consistently for different reasons. All simple enough I’ve had beginners use them, all advanced enough to get even experienced lifters huffing and puffing. taken in Space City by @michaelwhiteheadgolf

CUSA freshman of the year @mitchell.maier5 stopped by today for a short check in. Love his attitude and the way he thinks about his game. No wonder why he’s pretty darn good. #golf #golffitness #golftraining taken in Space City by @michaelwhiteheadgolf

I am so proud of @42_duggal. I’ve been in a hole before, where you don’t know which end of the golf club you’re swinging, and to I know how hard it is to get back to playing confident, quality golf, and he has busted his butt and is doing so.

To win regionals and districts this year (shooting 69-66!), winning by 6, I mean… so impressive.

Pleased to be a part of his team and so excited to see what this summer and future look like.

⛳️ MAJOR UPDATE⛳️

We are so excited to announce the Rice golf assistant coach @harrisonhineline is joining our staff this summer. I’ve known him since i was his assistant coach when he played for @ricemgolf and it’s such a cool opportunity to team up with him and have him become a major player in our future at @spacecitygolflab.

He brings a wealth of knowledge about coaching high level talent and that aligns with who we are perfectly.

It’s been a privilege to work with him this year with the Rice golf team, and I can’t wait for yall to see what we have in store!

It’s easy to forget sometimes, but a bout in the hospital is the greatest reminder that, 1) we need Jesus and 2) we need to keep moving.

The doctors and everyone have been incredibly persistent in reminding me that movement is so important for helping my blood clots, so… I’m trying.

The weights are super light, and I didn’t do much, and my heart rate skyrockets with every set, but man, it’s nice to use muscles again and keep moving.

If you have a hard time getting consistent, start small, and just do what you can. It’s super important, as my last month has reminded me.

Home.

I am out of the hospital, and I’m home. I’m not well, quite ill actually- as my doctor made sure to tell me yesterday- but I am better.

I am sleeping through the night and I’m eating food more regularly, along with having less pain.

Please keep praying for me, as my body works to rebuild blood counts, and I try and recover from the blood clots that almost did some brutal long term damage.

I’m so grateful for the medical team, and all of you who have been such massive amounts of support to my soul.

Praise the Lord for He is good, and He has never stopped being intimately involved in all of our lives. It’s only by His hand that anything happens, and I trust Him.

Life update:

Many of you know, and have reached out and Jordan and I are so thankful for all the support we’ve gotten, but it’s been a very long 3 weeks for us.

About 3 weeks ago I started having some significant abdominal pain, and ended up chasing some answers for a couple weeks, in and out of ER’s and doctors, without much success, until eventually it became clear I really had a significant problem on my hands.

I then was checked into Methodist and have been at Methodist hospital for a week now, and there have been many things found, and some problems solved, and some not, but ultimately I’ve been bucking up against some significant blood clotting, particularly in the abdominal region (think liver, gallbladder, spleen, pancreas etc). We don’t have any explanation or cause for the clotting as of yet.

We did a largely unsuccessful surgery, but learned more through it, and now are in sort of a waiting phase. We need the body to adapt to the blocked off systems and “create” new pathways.

It doesn’t seem like that’s going to be a fast process, but it does seem likely that I’ll make a pretty full recovery with time—praise the Lord.

Please keep us in your prayers, please pray that the Lord would heal quickly and totally, and please remember what this weekend is: Easter.

We may have troubles in the life, but Jesus died and rose again, and has overcome the world and all its problems. Preach that gospel.

For the kingdom,

Michael by @michaelwhiteheadgolf

We would like to formally welcome Akshay (@the.shayman) to the team here at Space City Golf Lab.

Already a couple weeks in, and he’s crushing it.

We are building the best place in the city for golf performance and training, and Akshay is a massive piece of our improvement.

Let’s go!
