Bryson DeChambeau was recently named chairman of the President’s Council on Sports, Fitness and Nutrition<\/a>, a responsibility the two-time major champion has had to add to his already very busy schedule. However, DeChambeau has described the “calling” almost as a sign of destiny, and he seems to have accepted it as such.<\/p>\n

“I always listen to what I feel called to do,” he said in a recent interview<\/a>. “And every time I’ve succeeded in a certain avenue — that’s great, but another door opens. Another door opens and I feel called to do that as well.”<\/p>\n

DeChambeau offered these and other statements to Golf.com’s Sean Zak before competing in the penultimate event of the LIV Golf<\/a> season, held in Bolingbrook, Ill., just outside Chicago.<\/p>\n

During the interview, DeChambeau revealed the first projects the newly formed Council is working on.<\/p>\n

“Reestablish the Presidential Fitness Test and get kids into a curriculum that’s a little more dynamic for today’s health standards,” he mentioned as the first priority. ” … The goal we’re looking for is to give those [less athletic] kids more hope, empower them to be a better person, healthier person, and live a healthier lifestyle.”<\/p>\n

The LIV Golf star even predicted that this program could reach all 50 states by the end of the upcoming school year.<\/p>\n

“It’s one of the most important things that I can see in my lifetime outside of golf is helping out our American youth.”<\/p>\n

Other plans of the council include making investment in community health and fitness facilities more attractive to private capital, DeChambeau said.<\/p>\n

“More tax-incentivized possibilities for community complex centers to be built,” he asserted. “Health and fitness community centers to be built across the nation … Right now, it doesn’t make sense for private equity to invest in those things. They’re pretty neutral, and we want to incentivize and create a program that allows people to make money while having a better, healthier lifestyle in that area.”<\/p>\n

The President’s Council on Sports, Fitness, and Nutrition was established by President Donald Trump<\/a> on July 31. Despite having very concrete plans, DeChambeau revealed that the council’s formation is still a work in progress.<\/p>\n

So far, several sports stars have been revealed to have accepted a position on the council. This includes golf stars such as Jack Nicklaus, Gary Player, Annika Sorenstam and Nelly Korda<\/a>.<\/p>\n
