The Annika Academy is a 5,000 square foot training facility in Reunion Florida that features a ringed private chipping and putting green that serves as the centerpiece of the academy. Students will sharpen their skills on Reunions's three Signature golf courses designed by golf legends Tom Watson, Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus.
Small class sizes of seven to nine people per class will afford students an unprecendented level of personalized attention not often found today in golf clinics and schools. Sorenstam's long time golf coach Henri Reis, will be the lead instructor at the facility. When Reis first began coaching Annika in 1987, she found great value in the methods he employed to translate the complexities of golf into simple language. It is her aim to have all academy students benefit form his uniques view of the game. As Annika's sucess on the course has been due in large part to being in excellent physical condition, much of the training at the academy will focus not only on the golf swing, but on athletic training- including cardio and core-strengthening techniques. The philosophies of Annika's personal trainer, Kai Fusser, will lie at the foundation of her curriculum. The German - born Fusser is and IFPA certified personal trainer and sports nutritionist with several years of experience working with professional athletes. He began working with Annika in 2001 and his program is featured in Annika's latest book, Golf Annika's Way.
