Parenting a Young Athlete: The Junior Golf Edition


Join us for an exclusive webinar with Martyn Thompson — PGA Golf Professional and current England Golf Coach — as he takes you inside the world of junior golf development. Martyn will break down the key stages of the junior golf pathway, from county squads through to England selection and international competition, and reveal what flexibility really looks like for young golfers balancing serious training with everything else life throws at them. He'll also share how Minerva Virtual Academy is helping ambitious junior golfers across the UK and beyond build their education around their sport — studying a full curriculum of GCSEs and A-levels with outstanding teacher support, on a schedule that works around training and tournaments, not the other way around. The session will finish with a live Q&A, so come ready with your questions — no topic is off limits.
The reality of junior golf today is that training, competition, and travel don't wait for the school bell. The early mornings, the weekend tournaments, the week-long camps abroad — behind every junior golfer chasing their dreams, there's a parent trying to make it all work. This webinar gives you direct access to one of England's top golf coaches, someone who has spent years developing junior talent at the highest level and knows first-hand the challenges families face. Whether your child is dreaming of a college scholarship, chasing a place on an England squad, or simply trying to balance competitive golf with getting great grades, you'll walk away with expert insight, practical advice, and a clear picture of how the right educational setup can give your young golfer the edge they deserve.
