>>My new book, The Wicked Smart Golf Fitness Formula, is live to help you master golf fitness for longer drives, more energy, and avoiding injuries.

If you want to hit the ball farther, avoid injuries, gain stamina, and play your best golf for decades—not just next season—The Wicked Smart Golf Fitness Formula is your roadmap.

Written by +2 handicap golfer, 3X author, fitness enthusiast, and performance coach Michael Leonard, this book takes a no-nonsense approach to golf fitness. No gimmicks. No complicated science. Just a proven formula built from years of training, interviewing experts, and applying real results on the course.

Whether you feel out of shape, inconsistent late in the round, or stuck at the same distance year after year, improving your fitness is a reliable way to transform your golf game—without changing your swing.

Inside, you'll learn how to train like a golfer, move like an athlete, and build a body that supports powerful, consistent golf.

What You'll Discover Inside....

Pillar I: Strength Training Build functional strength that translates directly to the golf swing. Learn how to train smarter—not harder—with golf-specific exercises, simple routines, and power-building strategies.

Pillar II: Cardio for Golfers Develop endurance that lasts all 18 holes (and beyond). Improve energy, boost conditioning, lower fatigue, and finish rounds strong with cardio methods designed specifically for golf.

Pillar III: Peak Performance Habits Unlock mobility, flexibility, recovery, and sleep tactics to help you move pain-free and feel your best. Learn how to warm up properly, prevent injury, and create a body built for long-term performance.

Pillar IV: Nail Your Nutrition Fuel your body for power, focus, and consistency. Discover simple golf nutrition strategies, hydration tips, smart supplementation, and easy habits that improve performance on and off the course.

Pillar V: Speed Training Learn how to safely increase swing speed using proven drills, overspeed training concepts, and power-building routines. Add yards to your driver without sacrificing accuracy.

You'll Also Learn How To:

• Improve daily energy, focus, and recovery
• Reduce stiffness, pain, and overuse injuries
• Add 10–20+ yards through proper speed training
• Create a personalized golf fitness plan you'll actually follow
• Build consistency by upgrading sleep and recovery routines
• Eat for performance, energy, and fat loss—without rigid diets
• Build golf workouts that increase strength, stamina, and mobility

You don't need to train like a bodybuilder. You don't need hours in the gym. And you definitely don't need to overhaul your swing.

You need a simple, sustainable fitness system built for golfers. One that helps you hit it farther, feel better, and play your best—season after season. With a proper golf fitness plan, you'll learn how to train for life. Whether you're 18, 38, or 58, this system will help you build golf strength for longer drives, avoid injuries, and have more energy than ever.

Whether you're a scratch player or just getting started, The Wicked Smart Golf Fitness Formula gives you everything you need to become a stronger, faster, healthier, more consistent golfer. Stop wasting time in the gym or pounding the pavement. Start training like an athlete so you can play golf for decades to come.

Every golfer thinks they're playing smart golf… until they look at their actual shot patterns.

If you've ever stood in the fairway wondering why your "perfect" drive found trouble—or why your approach shot ended up short-sided—you're not alone. Most golfers have no idea where their shots really go, and that's why course management breaks down.

That's exactly what led me to the Shot Pattern App, one of the smartest tools I've ever used to visualize dispersion, understand tendencies, and plan smarter targets.

In this episode, I'm joined by Eric Duffett, the creator of Shot Pattern, to talk about how this app can completely transform the way you manage your game.

You'll learn:

• Why understanding your shot dispersion is the foundation of smart golf

• How to use Shot Pattern to make better decisions and avoid blowup holes

• The simple process for target selection that lowers scores immediately

• How to use data—not emotion—to manage your misses and play to your strengths

• Why most amateurs pick targets that are far too aggressive (and how to fix it)

If you've ever wondered how to think like a Tour pro when picking targets, this episode will show you exactly how. Follow Shot Pattern on Instagram to learn more.

Most golfers think they're practicing… but they're really just exercising their bad habits.

They hit the same shots, to the same targets, with no plan, no feedback, and no real improvement. Then they wonder why the results don't show up on the course.

The truth is, practice is where consistency is built—or destroyed. If you don't have a system for how you practice, you'll never reach your potential.

In this episode, I break down the five types of practice that separate average golfers from elite performers. This is the same framework I've used for over 20 years of competing and coaching, and it's one of the most valuable concepts in Wicked Smart Golf II.

You'll learn:

• The difference between practice that builds skill and practice that wastes time

• Why the best players in the world rely on structured block practice

• How to add variety, pressure, and competition to simulate on-course conditions

• The role of your pre-shot routine and why it's the real key to transferring your range game to the course

• How to make meaningful progress—even without a launch monitor or simulator this winter

Whether you're training for next season or just trying to make your practice time more effective, this episode will give you a clear blueprint to work smarter and see real results.

Speed Train With Rypstick: The #1 speed trainer to add 10+ yards in 40 days or less (use code WICKEDSMART to save 20%)

If you want to shoot lower scores this season, it starts inside 125 yards. In this episode, Michael breaks down 7 essential wedge tips that will help you hit it closer, save more pars, and finally take advantage of your scoring clubs.

You'll learn how to build confidence with your wedges, eliminate wasted shots, and turn your short game into a true weapon.

• Play the right wedges for your swing – not just what the pros use. Learn how bounce, grind, and loft affect every shot you hit.

• Ball position secrets (Charlie B method) – how a simple setup tweak can change your contact and spin.

• Why your weight should stay forward (60% or more) – the #1 key to crisp contact and consistency.

• Full swing vs. short game routine – how to simplify your process and build confidence on partial shots.

• Be okay with 20-footers – and why Tour pros miss more greens than you think. (We'll share real stats that'll change your expectations instantly.)

• The power of wedge practice – why spending more time inside 125 yards can lower your scores faster than swing changes ever will.

And a lot more.

Alex Huang is the COO of DECADE Golf, the revolutionary course management system that's changing the way golfers approach the game.

Alex shares the inside story of how DECADE Golf went from a groundbreaking concept to an essential tool used by some of the best players in the world, including top PGA Tour pros and elite amateurs.

In this episode, we discuss:

• The hidden danger of front pins.
• The principle of "Point A to Zone B."

This isn't just another quick-fix program — it's a guided 30-day experience designed to help you swing faster, hit it longer, and build sustainable habits you can carry into next season.

Program starts 10/14 and goes through 11/13!

Over the course of one month, you'll train smarter, track your progress, and learn the exact routines Michael uses in his own pursuit of more speed.

Every golfer knows that 1 mph of swing speed equals 2–3 yards of distance. Add just 5 mph, and you're suddenly hitting shorter approach shots, attacking more pins, and giving yourself more birdie chances.

The best part? You can improve your speed at any age with the right work ethic.

Today's guest is Dr. Andrea Wieland — Olympian, psychologist, high-performance expert, and founder of Winning Systems Psychology. She's the author of The Confident Performer, holds an MBA and PhD from The University of Iowa, and competed on the 1996 U.S. Olympic Field Hockey team.

For 25+ years she's been building "systems of winning," not just for athletes but for leaders, teams, and performers in high-pressure fields. She's led mental conditioning at IMG Academy, overseen Sports Medicine, Nutrition, Mental Health & Performance for ~1,000+ athletes across 33 sports at Penn Athletics, and works with folks from special operations soldiers to elite amateurs. Her work focuses on integrating mental resilience, identity, consistency, and wellness — seeing the athlete as a whole person, not just for scorecards.

When you listen to this episode, you will learn:

• The four domains of your identity.
• The goal of golf (hint: it's not winning).
• How your self-image can sabotage success.
• Why you need systems to succeed in golf (and life).
• How an alter ego can help your mindset on and off the course.

R️eady to break 80 in golf?

If so, you need to follow these 7 rules every round.

When you do, you'll start breaking 80 and shooting in the 70s a lot more often. As you'll learn, breaking 80 isn't about 300 yard drives, attacking pins, or making endless putts.

Instead, it's about avoiding big mistakes, play smart golf, and having a solid mental game. Follow these rules and watch your scores drop fast!
