As National Nutrition Month comes to a close, The Rockstar Nutritionist goes out in style with the New York Jets! Jill sports her high calcium foods and sings about the benefits of exercise to support the NFL/Dairy Council Partnership, Fuel Up to Play 60. Students from Newark, NJ; Jersey City, NJ; and Brooklyn, NY came to train at the Jets practice facility in Florham Park, NJ. These students will become student ambassadors for the Fuel Up to Play 60 program in their schools. We were joined by former players Wesley Walker (’77-’90), Bruce Harper (’77-’85), and strength and conditioning coach Bill Hughan. All of us reinforced similar messages– eat breakfast, eat less junk food, and exercise more. I also emphasized the importance of “walking the walk” when you “talk the talk” as a leader.
