It's simply not possible to become the best in the world on your own. That's why I have a team of people around me to help me achieve my goals.
I've been working with Phil for over fourteen years now. He knows my swing better than anyone, and he knows what I need to do to keep my swing in good shape. We see each other regularly to work on different aspects of my game. That work sometimes involves training with a TrackMan on the driving range, sometimes training on the course, and sometimes working to analyze things on the computer. Besides being a great coach, Phil is a real jokester. We can laugh really hard together, which is very important in a player-coach relationship.
Phil about Joost:
"Joost is always looking at ways to improve. He knows exactly what he wants and tries anything possible to reach his goals. Look at the last fourteen years and you'll know what I am talking about. Joost also likes to set new targets while constantly improving his game."
Bas van den Steur is responsible for keeping me flexible, strong, and injury-free. Bas is one of the professionals collaborating with the Dutch Golf Performance Institute (DGPI). I know him from my days as an NGF selection player because he worked as a physical trainer for them. Bass is a level-three certified golf fitness instructor (Titleist Performance Institute). He helps me exercise during tournaments. When he attends a tournament, he treats me after each round to keep my muscles loose.
Bas about Joost:
"We started working together in 2005. During our 'journey' so far, we focussed on recuperation, screening and training. The main purpose is to optimise strength, mobility and stability for a most efficient swing. That's why Phil and I work closely together. Joost is a committed worker who likes to aim for the highest reachable goals. Apart from that, there's plenty of time for fun and laughter. He's a great guy to work with!"
