President Trump has reportedly assembled his Council on Sports, Fitness, and Nutrition (not to be confused with President Barack Obama's Council on Fitness, Sports, and Nutrition), a move that has him bringing together legends like New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick, former New York Yankees closer Mariano Rivera, and … Dr. Oz.

Trump signed an executive order creating his council in February, breaking with former first lady Michelle Obama's nutrition-centric agenda and putting an emphasis on team sports. Other members of the council include three-time Olympic beach volleyball gold medalist Misty May-Treanor, retired NFL running back Herschel Walker, and, of course, a golfer: Natalie Gulbis.
