USANA Athletes: World Travels, Warm Welcome and Many Thanks
What an incredible month for Team USANA. I hope all of you are following our athletes on Facebook and Twitter. There is a lot coming up, so let’s get to it.
Ryan Dodd, is professional water ski jumper. I asked him to send me a little update about his season and what USANA means to him. As you can see he is dominating his sport. Congrats Ryan!
The 2012 season has been the best of my ski career! I won four out of five of the major pro events, and rounded the season off with a personal best jump of 237 ft!
USANA Sponsored Ryan Dodd, doing what he does best.
I couldn’t thank USANA enough. As a Professional Athlete my body and mind are what fuel my success. USANA Nutritional products keep my joints healthy.
The IWSF (International Waterski Federation ) is governed by the IOC (International Olympic Committee ) and we are monitored and drug tested regularly. This spring alone, I was “randomly” drug tested twice. This doesn’t scare me one bit as my USANA Health Pack is free of banned substances. This gives me the peace of mind to take the best nutritional products in the world, and live my life stress free.
I have been taking USANA Products for four years. Thanks, USANA for keeping me healthy and at the top of my game.
Sincerely,
Ryan Dodd
Where in the world is the WTA?
There has been quite a lot going on in the Women’s Tennis Association. Even if you are an avid follower of the WTA, you still may have not caught everything that is going on. Athletes have been to tournaments in Japan, China, and Austria. Our Associates and employees in Japan and China had some cool experiences with the players. They got to meet them, take pictures and get signatures.
