Russell’s Top Beliefs for Development

Physical talent alone is won’t achieve excellence

‘Hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work’ - Tim Notke

Elite performance is underpinned by an array of factors - social, physical, technical, tactical and psychological

Social, economic and family support influence participation and performance

Fundamental movement skills and physical literacy allow an athlete to be physically more coachable

From physical perspective, it’s important to train, speed, power and mobility for the modern game

Early successes aren’t always a predictor of long-term success

Every young person is a case study of one. We are all people not just golfers.

A blend of blocked/deliberate practice and social/fun play is important

It’s not what they do once in a while that matters; it’s what they do consistently that counts.

It’s important to praise effort over achievement

It’s essential to develop all the ‘Psychological Characteristics of Developing Excellence’ - PCDE’s

Self-mastery goals are essential in development 


“Young players out there. Always give your best, that’s all you can do. You never know what might happen in this game” - Gary Player
