Coach Christie changed and impacted my life more than anyone in this world. She helped me focus on myself mentally because that is something that I have struggled with my whole life. She helped me by being there for me and being a helping hand when I needed it. Overall she helped me be positive and happy on the golf course. In addition to that she really helped me with my golf game, teaching me new techniques and new drills to better me in the game. She helped me with shots that I struggled with such as chipping and putting and she really helped me become more confident in and out of the game. She taught me things like OSVEA which is observation, selection, visualization, execution, and acceptance. She helped me more than anyone could understand. Overall Coach Christie helped me grow as a golfer and most of all as a person. Honestly, there is no better coach I could have ever asked for.

Coach Christie taught me to focus on taking the game one shot at a time and it helped me by forcing me to slow down and play the game at my own pace. She helped me realize that my game would be thrown off if I started to play too fast or began overthinking every shot, so by teaching me to find my own rhythm, my game quickly began to improve.
Coach Christie helped my swing by explaining concepts in a way that I would understand better. My primary sport is basketball, and when I couldn’t understand a concept or motion she wanted me to fix in my swing, she would rephrase it in basketball terminology so I would understand. I then knew what she wanted me to fix and through constant practice, my swing and overall shot consistency improved drastically.
Coach Christie helped me understand the importance of enjoying the game and learning that mistakes are bound to happen in order to grow as a player. I am what some people consider a perfectionist when it comes to anything I do and when I struggle to do well at something it can become frustrating, but Coach Christie helped me realize that if it was supposed to be easy then everyone would do it. I learned that giving yourself a break or stepping back for a moment can help both your mental health and overall game. She helped me understand that no person is absolutely perfect in anything, so I shouldn’t be so hard on myself.
Coach Christie is a great golf coach because she is a great person. She knows how to talk to people and connect with them on a personal level. It feels as though she is trying to help you more so as a friend rather than a Coach and she truly cares about seeing you improve. I love the time I spent with Coach Christie and I know anyone else who is blessed to have had or will have her as a coach can say the same.
