PRACTICAL EXAM

Roleplay Evaluation, Correction, and Prescription

Scenario Setup: Choose Your Role

This module is performed in pairs. Decide who plays:

  • Coach: Scan, diagnose, demonstrate, correct, and prescribe
  • Student: Perform the swing, receive feedback, and apply corrections

Choose your partner. Lock in roles. Begin the session.

Phase 1: Full-Swing Visual Scan

Phase What to Observe
Setup Pelvic tilt, foot tripod, spinal stack, scapular glide
Backswing Coil quality, sway, rib control, hip rotation
Transition Pelvic lock, core brace, shoulder glide
Impact Posterior tilt hold, glute activation, elbow softness
Follow-Through Decompression, pelvic recovery, arch integrity

Step-by-Step Diagnostic Flow

  1. Watch the full swing 2–3 times without interruption
  2. Identify the primary dysfunction
  3. Point to the exact moment it occurs
  4. Explain why it’s a problem
  5. Identify the source
  6. Note compensatory movements

Phase 2: Demonstrate & Mimic

As the coach, mimic the faulty movement in front of the student and audience:

  • Show the incorrect posture or motion
  • Narrate what the body is doing wrong
  • Demonstrate the corrected version using Tilt Golf cues

Example: “Here’s what sway looks like. Notice how the trail hip slides laterally. Now watch the correction: I activate glute medius, hold posterior tilt, and rotate without drift.”

Phase 3: Prescribe & Reinforce

Prescription Type Details
Muscle TargetedName the muscle (e.g., glute medius, TVA, peroneals)
Stretching ExerciseDescribe the stretch (e.g., 90/90 hip opener, TVA breath tuck)
Strengthening ExerciseDescribe the drill (e.g., glute bridge with PPT cue, resisted scapular glide)

Step-by-Step:

  • Name the muscle you’re correcting
  • Prescribe a stretch to release tension or restore range
  • Prescribe a strengthening drill to reinforce activation
  • Have the student perform 3–5 reps
  • Reassess the swing after the drill
  • Ask the student to describe what they feel
  • Confirm biomechanical improvement visually

Phase 4: Coaching Integration

  • Use Tilt Golf cues (“Tuck and lock”, “Tripod active”, “Rotate through decompression”)
  • Reinforce felt intelligence over verbal instruction
  • Guide the athlete through awareness impulse at impact
  • Confirm that the correction holds through the full swing
