Avid Golfer Cover Story by Damon Goddard

Q&A by Robert Rodriguez
 
Damon Goddard was a bit puzzled when he saw them. For years, the sports performance coach and founder of Synergy Athletic Performance worked on a lot of professional football, basketball and hockey players.
 
Then he started seeing golfers coming in to his facility, which surprised him.
 
“I didn’t realize golf was so athletic,” Goddard said.
 
Rather than turn them away or direct them to the nearest buffet line, Goddard began working with the golfers and instantly developed a strong client base that would later be the focal point of his sports performance program.
 
Of course, when it comes to golfers, the Metroplex has its fair share of them, especially professional ones. Athletes, too. That’s why Goddard established Synergy Athletic Performance here.
 
After a stellar soccer career at Lee University in Virginia, one in which saw him earn All-American and All-Conference honors three times, Goddard earned his Bachelor’s Degree in Fitness and Wellness. Currently, he’s a Certified Personal Trainer and performance Enhancement Specialist through the National Academy of Sports Medicine. He’s also a Level-3 Certified Golf Fitness Instructor through the Titleist Performance Institute.
 
Recently, we visited Goddard at his Synergy Athletic Performance offices, which also happen to be in the same suite as Dr. Troy Van Biezen’s ChiroSport Specialists of Dallas, and peppered him with questions about his sports performance programs, his golf clientele and how to get you into the best shape of your life.
