The physical gains a golfer makes in the junior, high-school, and college years are some of the most impactful of an entire career. CoachZT builds TPI-certified strength and speed programs for young golfers that develop real athletic ability — safely — so they hit it farther, stay healthy, and compete at the next level.

Safe strength development, done right

Done properly, strength training is safe and powerful for young athletes — it builds speed, protects against injury, and lays an athletic foundation that pays off for years. The key is correct coaching and age-appropriate programming, which is exactly what young golfers get here, starting from a TPI movement screen.

What young golfers train

High-school & college golfers

From IHSA seasons to college rosters, young golfers need a real off-season and in-season plan — not random workouts. Zac has experience training high-school golfers (University High, Central Catholic, Normal Community and area teams) and Illinois State and Illinois Wesleyan-level collegiate players, and understands what college golf physically demands.

Local or online

Train in person in Bloomington-Normal, or work online from anywhere — ideal for traveling junior players and college athletes who need structured programming on the road.

Zac is a TPI-certified coach with 15 years full-time and 1,000+ clients. A former competitive golfer (US Amateur, Illinois State Amateur) who helped lead Illinois State University golf, he builds young players with the same athletic standards he competed by.
