Our Team
Brendan Hayden, CSCS
Founder
Brendan founded Coastal Performance in 2010 and has overseen it’s growth from a small 3000 square foot training gym to a world-class performance facility that’s home to some of the foremost experts in golf and human performance. A native of suburban Boston, Brendan played college baseball at Stetson University and graduated with a degree in E-Business Technology in 2005. After beginning his career as a golf professional, his focus drifted to fitness and human performance after attending the World Golf Fitness summit and early exposure to the Titleist Performance Institute. His unique background positions him as a expert in both the mechanics and physical demands of the golf swing. An active competitor on the Professional Long Drivers Association Tour, his firsthand understanding of training for speed gives him an insight not available to many other coaches.
Hayden has trained and traveled with numerous PGA Tour professionals, athletes from the NBA, MLB, and NHL, as well as hundreds of top amateurs, corporate executives, and clients who demand an adaptable training methodology and a deeply scientific understanding of human performance.
