Welcome to Phoenix Golf
Willie graduated from the University of Pretoria in 2008 with a Bsc. Human Physiology degree whilst playing rugby for the university. After entering the working world, mostly doing laboratory work he realised that work without human interaction wouldn’t suffice and decided to enrol for BSc Physiotherapy (hon) degree at the University of the Free State which he completed in 2013. During this time he worked extensively with rugby teams as the vision was always to enter the world of sports physiotherapy. In 2015 he completed his post graduate qualification in OMT and started working at higher levels of sport. Between 2012 and 2018 he had the privilege of working in a variety of sports including the following:
SA A cricket side, SA Womens Cricket, provincial hockey teams for IPT’s, PSL football teams, school boy rugby and Olympic Athletes.
After the extensive exposure to high level sport it was clear that his passion was mostly in the arena of performance enhancement and biomechanics rather than run of the mill rehabilitation. Being a passionate golfer from a young age he decided to develop and apply this skill set to something he loved and decided to complete his certification through the Titleist Performance Institute. He travelled to the UK to spend time with the founders of the institute which made the vision for entering the world of golf therapy and performance enhancement even more clear. From 2017 the majority of his work has been with golfers ranging from the weekend warrior, juniors and elite amateurs all the way to professional golfers. In 2020 he decided to take his love for training and sports performance up a notch and broadened his knowledge to include the fields of sports nutrition, strength and conditioning and personal training. His programs are designed to be all encompassing in terms of full evaluation from a biomechanics perspective and exercise prescription that is tailored to every individual golfer. Training programs are loaded and completed on an app which makes tracking of performance and results very easy.
