Overview

Working with high school and collegiate golfers, John Perna's TPS Players Service offers optimal one-on-one coaching with the latest in technology to create top-notch players. With over 80 Division 1 players, his system has proven itself over and over. Developing Golfers into Players highlights Perna's success through the words of eleven of his successful players and two of his coaches. With Foreword by Chip Brewer and Preface by Dr. Rick Jensen, TPS takes its students to new heights in their game and in their lives. Our training system is what separates TPS from other golf academies. One aspect of the system involves correct hierarchy or sequencing in the use of technology, for example, Trackman. In order to become TPS students in the first place, one must attain a grade of 90 or above on a certification test and write a five-page essay, all about the system. Although students are all different, the sequence and systematic interpretation of the data is the same for all. This allows our players to get into their fix--their adjustment--quickly and easily. TPS players are constantly seeing that sequence being followed. They study each other's process. The students buy in because they not only see their own results, they also observe all their fellow students achieving tremendous success. As a result, the community becomes the system. -John Perna

This is just the right time for John Perna's book, Developing Golfers into Players, to come along. The beliefs and instincts that guide John as a coach represent an ideal way of working with the high-tech diagnostics that have quickly become vital to instruction and training. . . . John has been in the vanguard of coaches who acknowledge the value of knowing what happens in the golf swing even while devising new, artful ways to guide students through the real-life process of upgrading physical performance. -Chip Brewer, CEO, Callaway Golf The game of golf isn't just about golf swings. No coaching philosophy accepts this fact more than John's. At TPS, athleticism in golf extends to the body's metabolism, the visual system, self-awareness, situational judgment, even to what's in a player's heart as it beats faster in competition. All those factors are vital because they contribute to the full attainment of an individual athlete's potential which, in my view, is the core concept of the Player Service. -Dr. Rick Jensen, Coach, Sport Psychologist, Author
