Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. appreciates the positive messages delivered by WWE superstars.
Speaking to News Nation, Kennedy Jr. said: ““The great thing about WWE that’s so inspiring is that all of these guys have failed. Every one of them has lost fights, and the trick is: how do you persuade yourself to stand back up and fight again?”.
Kennedy Jr. insisted that failure is a part of growing up and children need to learn that life lesson at an early age.
“That’s the beauty of WWE. You lose sometimes and you win sometimes and if you keep sticking at it you’re ultimately going to come out on top,” he said possibly responding to the criticism that Presidential Physical Fitness Test could damage the self-esteem of children who don’t measure up.
Kennedy, Jr., 75 children at the Boys & Girls Club of Atlantic City and WWE superstars officially kicked off the return of the Presidential Fitness Test and the launch of GetActive.gov/kids.
Vice Chair of the President’s Council on Sports, Fitness, and Nutrition, Triple H also attended the event with Byron Saxton as the emcee and Cody Rhodes, Charlotte Flair joining students in the fitness demonstrations.
Students completed Presidential Fitness Test exercises alongside Secretary Kennedy, Congressman Jeff Van Drew (NJ-02) and WWE Superstars marking the beginning of a nationwide effort to get America’s kids moving as part of President Trump’s Make America Healthy Again agenda. Health and Human Services, the WWE, Boys & Girls Club of America, the WWE and other community organizations are assisting with the program which will be reintroduced this fall in America.
“More than 60 years ago, my uncle, President John F. Kennedy, challenged America to make physical fitness a national priority because he understood that the strength of our nation begins with the health of our people,” said Secretary Kennedy. “Today, President Trump is restoring that vision. By bringing back the Presidential Fitness Test and launching GetActive.gov/kids, we are giving parents, schools, and communities the tools to help children build healthy habits, strengthen their bodies, and discover what they’re capable of achieving.”
Nearly 1 in 5 children is overweight or obese in America. Seventy-seven percent of young Americans are ineligible for military service, with poor health and physical fitness among the leading reasons.
