Join the Kennedy Library and Arizona State University’s Great Game Lab to explore President Kennedy’s sporting legacy as Boston prepares to co-host the 2026 FIFA World Cup during the country’s 250th birthday. Natalia Mehlman Petrzela, Professor at The New School and author of Fit Nation: The Gains and Pains of America’s Exercise Obsession, and members of Harvard Women’s Soccer join a wide-ranging discussion with Victoria Jackson and Andrés Martinez, Great Game Lab Co-Directors. Learn more about the lasting cultural and public health significance of Cold War-driven presidential physical fitness tests, the role of sport in geopolitical affairs, the rise of American intercollegiate athletics as a developer of Team USA and global Olympic talent, and the evolving relationship between JFK’s beloved American football and the world’s version of the game known to us as soccer.
A public reception will follow this Kennedy Library Forum.
