The best time for teen golfers to work on mobility
Sion Mitchell of SM Golf Coaching discusses the optimal timing for teen golfers to focus on mobility training. He emphasizes that the window during growth spurts is critical for maintaining flexibility and preventing the swing restrictions that often plague adult golfers.
Teenagers should prioritize mobility training during growth spurts to counteract natural tightening of muscles.
Developing a mobility routine early prevents the need for major swing compensations in adulthood.
The off-season is the most effective time to build a foundation of flexibility without affecting competitive performance.
Consistency in mobility work is more important for juniors than high-intensity strength training early on.
