Praise for Fantasy Healthball

"Fantasy Healthball is a great program where your love of the NFL pushes you to achieve your health goals.  When I ended my 9-year pro football career, I've had to watch my own weight and Fantasy Healthball inspires me to live a healthy lifestyle.  I've been able to tackle diabetes and win, and you can too." 

Jay Leeuwenburg, All-American and NFL lineman and co-author of Yes I Can! Yes You Can!

"You might have noticed that those jeans that used to be your fat jeans are now the jeans that fit you the most comfortably these days. It is official, you need to get out more. But, since you like playing fantasy sports, there is a solution that will make it easy and you will love - Fantasy Healthball.

Derrick Eckardt, Editor-in-Chief, Fantasy Ethos

"Congratulations on what appears to be a winning program and the crucial feedback and support it will provide to participants.  Fantasy Healthball is of great value and presented with a consistently light, fun tone, providing strong encouragement and sufficient detail for change.  There is a lot to like here, and your readers are well served."

Tom Padrick, M.S., N.C., Nutrition Consultant

We are currently seeking sports or medical endorsements/assistance, and press to spread the word! 

For sports or medical endorsements/assistance or for interview requests, please contact the authors at jim at fantasyhealthball dot com or jeff at fantasyhealthball dot com.  We are looking for current or retired pro football personalities (players, coaches, trainers, etc.) and medical personalities to identify with our program, endorse our approach, and/or help us reach new markets.  Doing so will help us spread our message to even more people.  Likewise, if you are a publisher interested in Fantasy Healthball and can help us reach larger markets, we would like to talk to you.

Check out these three articles about the explosion in popularity of fantasy sports and why companies like Disney, CBS, Yahoo!, and Fox are embracing fantasy sports with arms very wide open:

This article explains the allure of fantasy sports and notes that they are “a billion-dollar market…”

This one says “Yahoo!, Disney, and CBS should score financial touchdowns…”

The last one notes that Sprint signs a $600 million deal with NFL and “a huge component of the package will be fantasy football management.”

A note on Charitable Contributions:
A special subset of our target audience is people with diabetes.  As we mention in Our Story, Jeff Hagen has type 2 diabetes.  For this reason, the authors have agreed to donate a significant portion of all proceeds from our book, and all related endeavors, to charitable organizations dedicated to preventing and curing diabetes and improving the lives of all people affected by diabetes.
