The Player Development Index (PDI) model of development incorporates three key components to support an athlete’s journey to success in the game of golf:
PDI Assessments
Long Term Athletic Development(LTAD)
5 Elements of Success
An athlete’s PDI journey begins with an assessment to provide greater clarity on where the athlete is in the journey and creates a clear roadmap of skill acquisition. PDI provides a numerical index that acts as a measure of the development of golf skill, physical proficiency, mental approach, and performance in a competition that supports golf coaches and their athletes in their journey of finding success in the game of golf. Integrating LTAD and our proprietary 5 Elements of Success philosophy into the developmental process for a golf athlete allows for a truly robust process that guides the athlete to consistently focus in the right areas based on their skill level. Our 5 Elements of Success are defined as Desire, Physical, Coaching, Mental & Equipment and they can and should be applied to all aspects of an athlete's life.
