Today I interview the great Alex Ehlert

Specifically, he studies the genetics of caffeine supplementation, as well as the effects of strength and conditioning and nutrition on golf performance. he is also a volunteer golf coach with the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, where he works in conjunction with the Sports Nutrition and Strength & Conditioning staff. Alex was an NCAA division 1 collegiate golfer before going onto his graduate studies, and always intended to do research and work with golfers in some capacity.

On today's episode, we discuss all things Golf performance, including what exercises are best for carryover into golf, how caffeine affects performance, the importance of in round nutrition and hydration and what the research says as well as the limitation when it comes to research and golf
