I had the pleasure of starting to work with World Long Drive competitor Lesley Atkins at the start of the 2024 WLD season. When Lesley began training with me, her swing speed was in the 130s. Now, we've pushed that number up to an impressive 165, and she shows no signs of slowing down.  Her longest in competition this year was a whopping 326 yards, pretty incredible for starting the training program just 12 weeks before that weekend.

Lesley's transformation is a testament to her hard work and the effectiveness of Streak Performance's training philosophy that emphasizes simplicity and consistency to achieve extraordinary results. Our approach combines targeted workout programs, dietary strategies, and daily routines designed to enhance power, mobility, and overall health, all while fostering an unparalleled connection to the ground—a critical factor in maximizing swing speed.
