Olympic legend Jackie Joyner-Kersee has joined forces with the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) with a shared vision to transform the health of families and communities.
Since her retirement, Joyner-Kersee has been a passionate advocate for healthy living in her hometown of East St Louis, working with public schools, community partners and corporate sponsors.
“It’s critical that we continue to expand our efforts to engage families in understanding the importance of an active lifestyle and good nutrition,” said Joyner-Kersee. “By partnering with ACSM, we can accelerate our reach by taking this message to under-served communities nationwide.”
“The impact Jackie is having in her community has been exemplary,” said ACSM president William Dexter. “We look forward to helping her expand this programme across the country.”
