What is ADM (Athletic Development Model)?

A concerted effort between the United States Olympic Committee (USOC) and its National Governing Bodies of sport to apply long-term athlete development principles in a way that resonates with the culture of sport in the United States.

Using ADM which is creating early, positive experiences for all athletes, will keep more players engaged and retained in our sport. Introducing the right aspects of play in a structure that is fun, engaging, and progressively challenging allows golfers of all ages to experience the challenges and joys of our sport.

Testimonials from WNYPGA Professionals


“PGA
.coach changed the way that I approached coaching the game of golf with my students.  I was able to utilize the PGA.coach app to track my students’ progress and share the progress with them during the sessions.  Lesson plans were recommended and I used a bunch of them with my junior students.  It was about time the PGA helped me with a useful tool that I could use on a daily basis!”

“PGA.Coach has had a major influence in my approach to coaching Junior
players and preparing them for the game throughout their life. Kids will
learn more through games than through specific skill instruction. Kids
love to win and through these games, they will learn what they need to
do to win. The drills and games that are available through PGA.Coach
create your Junior Clinics for you. It takes me 5 minutes to layout an
hour long clinic. Do yourself a favor and get your certification, you’ll
be glad you did!”

-Rob Krajewski, PGA (Director of Instruction at Glen Oak GC)
