Episode 13 -The Coach Who Changed Everything: A Conversation with Laurence Brotheridge
In this episode, I sit down with Laurence Brotheridge — a Senior Certified Leadbetter Instructor and someone who’s been one of the most influential coaches in my development as a golfer. Laurence has spent nearly two decades coaching across the world, guiding players to the Olympics, the European and Asian Tours, national teams, and top U.S. college programs. His resume is impressive, but what really sets him apart is how deeply he understands the process of growth — not just as an athlete, but as a person.
We talk about what it really means to develop a player, the role of mindset under pressure, how to break through mental and technical plateaus, and the deeper lessons he’s learned over years of coaching across cultures and levels. This episode is personal, thoughtful, and filled with insight — and it’s the one I’ve been looking forward to sharing the most.
