“I can only say that doing the swing certification really helps if you ever plan on passing on what you know about KB swings… 👍👍👍
Some of the cues and how to see and fix errors are just amazingly eyeopening – as much for your own technical growth as for teaching it to others! It was one of the best decisions about certifications or courses I made – ever! (And I took a lot of courses if I combine everything in Sports, Training and Medicine…)” – Philipp Wolf
