Alyzabeth and Ford met with Kyle on Friday, June 11th and will meet again on June 18th.
From Ford: Sounds good. We would do the 10 package plan. Alyzabeth is playing at Ormond Beach this Wednesday. If you are around Eagle Harbor this Friday just text and we can meet up.

No worries at all - glad to hear back from you! I definitely understand the schedule needing to change regularly - some of my kids are set in stone, and then the others are very fluid on a week to week basis.
As for the financial side, it’s typically $65/hr for a juniors, or $55/ea if 10 are purchased as a package. Whichever one makes more sense for y’all is fine by me! The first 2-3 times I see her, we’ll focus strictly on the hips, core, and movement mechanics, and then I’ll also give her some homework exercises to do on her own another 2x a week (15-20min worth or so).
If I can answer any more questions please let me know! It’s looking like I’ll be in the eagle harbor area Wednesday’s, some Fridays, and then as needed/when schedule permits.

Greetings Kyle,
First, my apologies for a delayed response. We would like to thank you for the physical evaluation you did with Alyzabeth linked to her potential golf game improvement.
We would very much like to move forward with the physical conditioning program you have mapped out for Alyzabeth. We would need to know our financial obligation to make the final decision.
June and July do present time restraints. June is filled with tournaments and we will be out of state most of July. We trust you are more than familiar with working out schedules with similar difficulties.
In closing, it should be noted, you do come highly respected and recommended by her coach, Bryan Kipnis, whom we have placed our trust in working with Alyzabeth. With that said, please know we are under no grand illusion of Alyzabeth playing on the LPGA Tour however we do want to give her every opportunity to meet her greater expectations.
Thank you again for the excellent physical evaluation. Very much appreciated. We look forward to hearing from you.
Ford and Alyson Morgan

Hey Ford!
It was nice getting to meet you and Alyzabeth on Friday. I’m going to highlight some of the items needing correction from the assessment, and then explain what my approach to everything would be.
She had some limitation in her pelvic tilt - important for getting into efficient golf posture.
Had some tightness in her lats shoulders - prevents full range of motion in backswing and follow through. Left leg balance wasn’t as strong as right (she fell).
Both left and right side glutes showed weakness - they are very important because they help with balance, power, stability, and many other things in the golf swing. Ankle mobility was limited - prevents her from getting in proper squat form. Hip mobility difference between two sides - can lead to pain down the road. Plank test showed one side of core was stronger than the other the squat we saw had many imperfections.
Her club head speed was in low-mid 80s (We could have that in the 90s by end of summer)
Vertical 13.6”.
A lot of these are very normal for the age, but there are a few things I’d address first. The squat technique needs some help - id work on form, strengthening hip flexors, work on hip mobility, and strengthen the glutes. As a whole, my approach is mobility and injury prevention first, then strength, and then speed/power.
If training is something you are interested in, we have a quite few different ways we can do it - in person, virtual, partner, small group, in your home, at the course, etc.. if you’d like to discuss further, let me know!
Thank you,
