Can't say I expected to find a former Dartmouth football player as the person explaining that If You Can Do These 6 Balance Exercises After 60, You’re in Good Shape on something called the Eat This, Not That! platform, but there you have it. Here's the intro to the story (LINK)
We spoke with Jacob Siwicki, founder and head coach of Siwicki Fitness, NCSF and AFAA certified, former top 1% globally ranked Equinox group fitness instructor (2019), Dartmouth economics graduate and former Dartmouth football player, fitness expert on FOX 5 DC, ranked #1 personal trainer in D.C. in 2021, to learn how you can tell if you’re in good shape.
Siwicki '17 spent time with the Big Green as a reserve running back. Find his Dartmouth bio HERE, and his Siwicki Fitness bio HERE.

One year ago Dartmouth's Delby Lemieux was crowned the top returning offensive lineman in the country in a way-too-early story by HERO Sports (LINK). No Dartmouth lineman gets a mention this year, but the Big Green will face five of the 35 big guys selected by HERO this year. Here are the 2026 selections (LINK):
28. Justin Selbert, Princeton
26. Colby Reph, Lehigh
16. Barrett Eddlemon, Princeton
13. Spencer Doan, Harvard
10. Thomas O’Brien, Harvard

EXTRA POINTIs there anything that says the season has officially turned more than the scent of lilac? Mrs. BGA cut a few of the flowering purple blooms from the long hedgerow lining the back of our Vermont hillside property a few days ago, and their lingering smell is a welcome reminder that the cold, gray days of winter are behind us for another year.
