    College golf & mental performance

    Guidance from a former NCAA coach

    JJ coached college golf at Ohio State and Rice, so recruiting conversations are grounded in how college programs actually evaluate players. His master's degree in Education, with graduate training in sport psychology, also shapes how Varsity players train attention, routine and pressure alongside technique.

    Every Varsity player gets the College Recruiting Playbook curriculum as part of the monthly program. One-on-one recruiting mentorship beyond the curriculum is arranged case by case, so ask us about it.
