Investigating Potential Causes and Effects of Early Extension with the 2023 Pan Am Games Champion

One of the most compelling benefits of an assessment is that it helps highlight potential causes and effects of swing characteristics. We not only have clues of why (upstream) they might have the characteristic, but insight into the compensations that might introduce (downstream).
This was representative of our recent visit with 2023 Pan Am Games Champion, Sofia Garcia. Sofia was introduced to us by her coach, and close friend of TPI, Julieta Granada. We know Julieta from her playing days on the LPGA and LET. She retired in December of 2023 and began coaching and mentoring young players, including fellow-Paraguayan, Sofia Garcia.
Sofia came to us with some questions about her ball striking, short game and to evaluate a recent injury in the triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) of her wrist.
To answer her questions about what she might be able to do to improve these areas, we first needed to answer the most important question: Why were they issues in the first place?
