Breaking Par with Bernard Sheridan Game Like Training Interview
This week on Breaking Par with Bernard Sheridan Episode 159 is our interview with Game Like Training Team. They are changing the way coach's and players work together and touching ways to learn like never before in the world of golf learning.
Here is just a taste of what Game Like training is about.
At Game Like Training Golf we believe that whether a beginner, intermediate, advance, or professional Golf coach, we have the tools for you. Through curiosity and an obsession to learn, GLT has developed a deep understanding of key learning principles such as Motor Learning, Neuroscience, Cognitive Psychology, Performance Psychology and the Neuro anatomical relationships that take place during the golf swing.
It is extremely important to us that our resources provide a golf college, and university type experience. This is so players and coaches are exposed to the most current scientific literature. There are so many publications discussing research projects that it is almost impossible to keep up with. These publications are also written by academic professors who have not been out into the practical coaching environment. We dissect and transfer this complex information in to a practical coaching setting so that the masses can make sense, and apply it.
Each day we strive to challenge the way things are in the coaching world by seeking expert advice, trialing new strategies, and conducting research on human performance. We are driven and committed to educating and inspiring the athletic world.

Breaking Par with Bernard Sheridan 156
This week on Breaking Par with Bernard Sheridan we interview Monte Scheinblum the son of a Major League Baseball player, Monte aspired to follow in his father’s footsteps, until a major elbow injury and reconstruction at age fifteen forced him to give up baseball for golf. Monte’s early success in the game eventually led him to UCLA, where he played golf for the Bruins before turning professional.
After an impressive career as a long drive champion and trick shot exhibitionist, Monte became a full-time professional tournament player, with the goal of eventually playing on the PGA Tour. He played on the Web.com (then Nike) tour for a number of years, and suffered through several close calls at the second stage of PGA Qualifying School. These disappointments led Monte on a quest to perfect his swing mechanics, enlisting many famous instructors and methods along the way.
Monte’s quest for perfect swing mechanics failed to produce the results he wanted on tour, but it led to some critical realizations regarding the golf swing. After fifteen years as a full-time professional golfer, Monte began teaching to share what he learned and prevent others from making the mistakes he made.
Today, Monte teaches golfers of all ability levels, from the earliest beginners to top juniors, college players and PGA Tour players, and has given more than 2,500 online lessons. He remains highly competitive in both long drive and tournament golf to this day.
