Breathe Better, Play Better: The Hidden Power of Breath Work in Golf

Breathing is the most fundamental movement we do—roughly 20,000 times a day.

Yet most golfers never stop to think about how they breathe, when they breathe, or whether their breath is helping or hurting their swing.

In this article, I’ll break down the biomechanics of breathing as it relates to golf performance, and show you how to use your breath to improve:

• Thoracic mobility and swing rotation

• Core stability and force transfer

• Recovery and post-round fatigue

• Mental focus and stress response

I’ll also teach you a simple breathing drill you can do at home to build awareness and performance-enhancing breath control.
