150: Tyler Fitzel (2nd Swing)

I mean, talk about LPGA player, did that for a little while, got into teaching.

I can tell you without hesitation, she's in the best spot possible at Hazeltine as a teacher now too because she's on with the KPMG.

She's got I don't know how many different videos.

I'm watching videos.

They bring her onto the Golf Channel.

They bring her onto NBC Broadcasting.

They do a podcast here and there.

And she's great at it, right? But she's just a great teacher.

She really cares about her players.

And her players aren't just Hazeltine members.

She's got this great span of all these players that she's working with.

So great perspective, too.

Yeah, it's been, I was talking to my parents about this the other day because it's been just like kind of crazy because they, my dad saw I had Adam Thielen on.

We were talking about potentially some guests coming up in the future as well.

It's like never would have guessed however many years ago when the thing started that fast forward.

I've had on like PGA Tour caddies and I saw them had a like top 100 player hopefully that's coming soon but to still have like professional athletes or people that have been at the top of their sport like now love the game and having like talking to those people and hearing like what's in their mind and their brain and how they approach this sport from the perspective and experience they've had and in previous sports that they've played at the highest level i just yeah sometimes i look back and i mean this has been pretty cool like this has been pretty sweet hobby to to have evolve and get this far

yeah totally one of the things um uh i've worked with adam a couple times so he's got basically what's in his bag right now the stuff that we we worked on to get into his bag and it was really cool because talking to him like with irons and what he was doing and how he's doing it like um he'd said well you know i'm he's kind of like real forward as in like leaning forward kind of um in his swing he's really kind of out on his toes and i'm I'm like, eh, we don't want to be too far out on that.

Just looking at the swing part, he goes, well, you got to realize I spent my entire career getting on my toes at the line of scrimmage.

So you think about basically every single day you're trying to get in a position that you can move with power.

You can move like on your route running.

And I'm thinking, well, that's not great in golf but how do you know how do you how does that change and he's working um swing wise with justin craft great okay yeah great coach um yeah crafty's awesome

also been on the pod twice yeah great dude

and like so i i don't know what they're doing with it but i know the next time i saw him like he wasn't on his toes and i'm going man you this is a different ball

game Yeah, and how quickly those guys and gals that have played whatever sport, whether it's golf or something else, at that elite level can learn and get really good at something that really is phenomenal.

It's why all of them end up being really good players.
