SFIA Honors Congressman Fleischmann
SFIA Honors Congressman Fleischmann
As part of its mission to promote the benefits of sports and fitness in America by recognizing those who share that vision, the Sports & Fitness Industry Association (SFIA) recently paid tribute to Congressman Chuck Fleischmann (R-TN).
Described as “a great friend of sports, a believer in fitness and a longtime supporter of increased physical activity in America, especially for young people,” and a longtime supporter of the PHIT Act, Congressman Fleischmann sees the need to lower family physical activity expenses. He is currently leading the effort to capture the economic impact of youth sports in America; to show the benefits beyond health.
Fleischmann (at right in photo, along with SFIA’s Bill Sells) leads by example, as a regular in the gym and a three-sport athlete in Congress, playing on the Congressional football, baseball and basketball teams.
“SFIA is proud to recognize Representative Fleischmann for his commitment to sports and dedication to increasing activity for a healthier America,” the association said in a statement.
