Why Junior Golfers Break Down During Tournaments (And How to Prevent It)

Описание: In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Anthony Margiotta, TPI-certified physical therapist and golf fitness specialist at Next Level Physio, after leading a golf fitness workout with high school athletes from St. Joe’s Montvale.

Dr. Anthony breaks down why golf fitness matters—especially at a young age—and how strength, stability, and controlled mobility directly impact performance, consistency, and injury risk on the course. While many young golfers appear mobile, Dr. Anthony explains that lack of control and stability is often what leads to missed shots, compensations, and pain over time.

In this conversation, we cover:

Why young golfers should start fitness training early
Common physical limitations seen in junior and high school golfers
The importance of hip internal rotation, stability, and upper/lower body dissociation
Key exercises every young golfer should be doing
Common swing compensations that lead to low back and shoulder pain
The most frequent injuries seen in youth golfers
How golf fitness helps players stay consistent through long tournament weekends
Why working with a TPI-certified provider matters for rotational athletes

Dr. Anthony also explains how golf fitness is not about getting bulky, but about improving movement efficiency, power transfer, injury prevention, and longevity in the sport. For aspiring golfers looking to compete at higher levels—or simply enjoy the game pain-free—this is a must-watch.

If you’re a parent, coach, or golfer in the Bergen County area and want to give your athlete a competitive edge while keeping them healthy, this episode breaks down exactly how to do that.
