In this episode, Mike Carroll (@Fit_For_Golf) goes into depth about physical training for golf. Mike played golf his entire life, but stopped playing while attending college. Mike played Gaelic football in college and studied Sports & Exercise Science at the University of Limerick from 2010-2014 and began working as a personal trainer in 2011. In 2014, Mike traveled to the UK and got his TPI level 1 certification, and shortly after this created Fit For Golf. In 2016, Mike saw a job posting for a golf trainer in Orange County, California and eventually took the leap and moved. During the pandemic, the Fit For Golf app gained lots of popularity and Mike was able to go full time into it. Today, Mike resides in Orange County, California and trains golfers ranging from beginners to PGA tour players.
