I focus on building grit, a repeatable system, and a love for the game that lasts. ## Photos and videos - [Video: In this conversation, I discuss my view on winning at the junior level. While it builds confidence, the process of striving and learning from setbacks is often more valuable for long-term development.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/781adbb8-03bf-4786-b363-3782e9471182) - [Video: The golf swing is a chain of actions and reactions. Often, a player's fault is a reaction to an earlier mistake. I believe in attacking the root cause for more fruitful, long-term improvement.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/889fbd05-8a81-4c92-9919-cafdae973f27) - [Video: Before I turn on the camera, I use my eyes and ears.

Before I even reach for a launch monitor, I focus on the sound of the strike and the ball flight. If you cannot hit the ball flush, no amount of biomechanical analysis will fix your dispersion. My first priority is creating a repeatable, solid contact that allows your natural rhythm to take over. ### Building a System, Not Just a Swing Many parents and students come to me obsessed with winning the next junior event. While trophies are nice, they are not the foundation of a long-term career. If you win today but don't understand *why* you hit the ball well, you are just lucky. I build a framework where players understand their own movement. ### Eyes and Ears Over Tech Technology is a support, not the coach. When I work with a new player, I use my eyes and ears first. I want to hear the sound of the impact and watch the ball flight pattern before I look at a screen. We often find that a 'fault'—like a slice or a hook—is actually a smart reaction by the brain to an earlier mistake in the pivot or setup. ### The 'Shoulder' Trap One of the most common issues I see is tension. Players often think they need to force a position. *Shoulder ko squeeze karne ki zaroorat nahi hai.* (You do not need to squeeze your shoulders). Tension kills rotation and limits speed. We work on finding the right center of mass and natural rotation. When you stop fighting your body, you find the swing that works for you, not the one you saw on YouTube. ### Mental Toughness and Grit Scoring is a mental game. I teach routines that help kids handle the pressure of tournaments. A rough round is a learning opportunity, not a failure. My job is to help them build the grit to bounce back, analyze their mistakes, and stay committed to the process. Whether we are training in Gurgaon or analyzing video remotely, the goal is always to get better, one session at a time. ## About Arjun Malik I am Arjun. My coaching is not about quick fixes or Instagram-perfect swings. I am here to build a system that works, focusing on contact, grit, and the kind of mental toughness that helps kids handle any course in the NCR.
