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
- Watch the full swing 2–3 times without interruption
- Identify the primary dysfunction
- Point to the exact moment it occurs
- Explain why it’s a problem
- Identify the source
- 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
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
