Robert Rock not only has one of the best golf swings in the world and plays a full schedule on the European Tour, but continues to coach other players. The players he competes against each week seek out his advice. Robert is the defending champion at Abu Dhabi where he held off Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy on a Sunday to win. Also, Robert is a former driving range professional that earned a few starts on the European Tour. He has turned multiple wins on the tour into a 20-year career.   

Topics:

• Fashion Faux-Pas: Robert Rock-style is to look impeccable, less golfy
• Origin: Preparation and pure luck is what it took to go from teaching pro to tour player
• Learning Curve: Lost card, but travelled the world to play competitive events
• Lessons Learned: Navigate traffic, minimize stage, prepare appropriately to not panic 
• Advantages: Teach yourself when you start with nothing to become a better coach
• Mindset Shifts: Improve short game and putting by building up evidence and confidence 
• Swing Thoughts: Robert’s love/hate fixation on his golf swing
• Clear Concepts: Efficiency in reducing extraneous motion; aesthetics not that important 
• Biggest Mistakes: Wasted too much time focusing on weaknesses, not strengths
