This after being plagued by crippling asthma, myopic eyesight, and other ailments as a child. Roosevelt's body was his weakness, the one hill he could never conquer. But, oh, how he tried! In vivid detail, The Strenuous Life shows how Roosevelt developed an obsession with athletics, carried it to the nation's highest office, and championed a new age of American athleticism. As President, Roosevelt boxed, practiced Ju-Jitsu, played tennis, conducted harrowing "point-to-point" walks, and invited athletes to the White House. He also made certain that each of his children played sports. Not surprisingly, Roosevelt's personal quest had broad reverberations. During his administration, America saw an unprecedented rise in sports and recreational activities. With Roosevelt in office, baseball's first ever World Series took place, interscholastic sports began, and schools placed a legitimate emphasis on physical education. Additionally, the NCAA formed, and the United States hosted the Olympics for the first time. Yes, the "Bull Moose," as he'd come to be known, resided squarely in the midst of this upheaval."-- 600 10 $a Roosevelt, Theodore, $d 1858-1919. 650 0 $a Sports $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Professional athletes $z United States $y 20th century. 600 17 $a Roosevelt, Theodore, $d 1858-1919. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00032496 650 7 $a Professional athletes. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01737295 650 7 $a Sports. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01130432 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a Audiobooks. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726208 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 655 7 $a Audiobooks. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a De Vries, David, $d 1958- $e narrator. 710 2 $a Brilliance Audio (Firm) 941 $a 1 945 $a cdab 952 $l BNPD611 $d 20200130010344.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=3B5F4FFE432E11EA81CC186F97128E48 994 $a C0 $b JIWInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
