VIDEO OF THE MONTH
GET READY TO GET FIT... FOR GOLF!
In the past, golf has been viewed as a relaxing way the "inactive population" spend a day. It's the perfect sport with little athletic ability needed and no grueling off and pre-season training. That is most likely why golf has recently become on of America's favorite pastimesβ¦if you can spend the time! There are now over 28 million people, almost 20% of our population playing golf yearly. Golfers are everywhere and wearing everything!Times are definitely changing! If we take a look back at the body types of many professional golfers in history. Fitness was NOT a focusβ¦and, at the time, really didn't seem to be needed.
Now as we look at what is happening to the bodies of the pros, we see more athletic builds and weight loss throughout the entire tour. From baby boomers to the younger generations alike, no matter what age, aesthetics may not entirely be the focus, but function and fitness definitely are!If you want to play better golf today, you practice by swinging the club a bunch of times and whacking a lot of balls. If you want to continue to play better golf tomorrow and years down the road, then it's time to get on the cutting edge of the fitness movement. Get out of your comfort zone and put the extra effort in to fine tune your body.
WHAT'S NEW ON SOCIAL MEDIA!
First group of the day!
With our gym closed, we left the option open for our junior golfers to work out outside in the fresh air.
We started here with 55οΎ and each athlete had their own area to work in. Check out these skills and drills we worked on today with our youngsters. They certainly needed to work off some pent up energy!

This is quite a large group here in our Academy. We are trying to find a balance for our junior athletes.
With our gym being closed as well as all team sports, our parents are happy to get a reprieve at home for a bit as their kids can get outside for their individual sport of golf.
We are working on keeping everyone at least 6 feet apart as much as possible with no equipment being used. Arizona provides a great climate for outside activity and we do not take that for granted.

Our competitive athletes at the DCGA are making the most out of the current climate we are all in.
Fortunately, our climate here in Arizona allows us the luxury of getting outside to not only keep our physical strength up but our mental health as well.
We are taking precautions with all of our juniors. Many are staying home with their home workouts given to them through video. Others have elected to join in safely and keep a recommended distance from each other.
No equipment is being used or shared. Here are some ideas that you can do at home on your own.

The Dan Campbell Golf Academy run out of Tatum Ranch Golf Club is still in operation. Due to the most recent closures, the gym has been closed. All workouts are taking place outside until the gym is reopened. Our workouts have been created to be unique and keep players getting stronger, faster and more coordinated without the use of traditional gym equipment.
We here in Arizona are very fortunate to have the weather that we do in the middle of March. We realize that so many people across the country do not have the luxury to enjoy fresh air right now.
We are posting some videos with hope that these give you ideas for your own child and even yourself.
Stay strong America!
