This week I continue the Facebook Live podcasts talking with PGA fitness coach, Damon Goddard. In this episode, we talk about how Damon has adjusted to the quarantine from a personal and professional perspective.
Damon also gets into the tools and tech he is utilizing with his athletes during this time, how a recent injury has affected him physically and mentally, and the new PGA Tour initiative he is a part of, called “PGA Tour Active.”
