In this episode of the Your Golf Performance Podcast, I’m joined by one of the UK’s most respected junior golf coaches — Steve Astle, England Golf’s national coach and a long-time developer of some of the country’s top amateur talent.
We dive deep into what separates juniors who make it to national squads and college golf from those who plateau, and the non-negotiables that underpin elite junior development.
Steve shares insights into balancing talent vs. environment, navigating growth and psychological challenges, and what it really takes to transition from club golf to elite amateur level. We also explore:
  • How Steve approaches a junior with national or college-level aspirations
  • The role of data, physio, fitness, and mental coaching in modern development plans
  • How to keep juniors engaged in group environments
  • The importance of educating parents without adding pressure
  • Thoughts on early specialisation, coaching inspiration from other sports, and long-term success
Steve also reflects on the biggest business lessons of his coaching career, how he stays sharp after 20+ years in the industry, and his evolving views on online coaching. Whether you're a parent, coach, or young golfer chasing big goals — this episode is packed with real-world advice and gold nuggets to help you on the journey.
