[August 8, 2015] Our Buddy Network kids had a life-changing experience this weekend. Shane LeBaron, one of the top golf instructors, taught them how to improve their golf swings, and shared his story of growing up with dyslexia. For our kids to hear an athlete they admire say he went through the same thing they are currently going through, that is powerful and validating.
Thank you, Shane, for emphasizing that there is not one right way to learn; Thank you for helping them focus on their strengths and interests; Thank you for encouraging them to ask for help when they need it; Thank you for building them up as they deal with back-to-school anxiety. You have made a difference and we are grateful.
Shane is a Level 3 Jim Hardy “Plane Truth” Certified Instructor, has been voted by Golf Digest 2013 “Best Teachers in Your State”, was nominated for 2013 “Best in the Valley”, and is a member of the Callaway Golf Master Staff. Shane was also nominated in 2014 for Golf Magazine Top 100 Instructors, in 2012 by Golf Digest for “Best Instructors Under 40″, in 2010 South Region College Golf Coach of the Year and a Top 50 US Kids Instructor.
