Although I had virtually no interest in watching sports as a child, I grew to love them when I realized what a strong metaphor they are for life. Nearly all facets of the human condition play out on the world's courts, fields, and rinks.
The lessons that I have learned by watching others have impacted my own life. For example, the New England Patriots' improbable goal line stand against the Colts in 2003 inspired me to stand up against the intimidation I felt in my chemistry courses, to hit the books harder, and eventually earn an academic scholarship for my performance in organic chemistry, all of which paved the way for me to become a better dietitian.
Joanne and I were very excited to watch our Patriots win their fourth Super Bowl. This month's e-newsletter focuses on some of the nutrition-related lessons we were reminded of during their run to the championship.
Thanks,
