Speaking after Tuesday's Presidential Fitness Test ceremony, the former Mets and Dodgers pitcher said meeting the 79-year-old president at the White House was a dream come true.
Syndergaard said he did not understand media and public negativity toward Trump, praising his patriotism, mental sharpness and energy, and recalling childhood fitness tests as a late-blooming, husky kid.
He was among athlete guests supporting Trump's plan to restore annual school fitness tests, and said promoting health, activity and participation in sports was important for children.
With most states unequipped for fitness testing, can this White House plan actually succeed in schools?
Will reviving a competitive fitness test inspire kids or create a new generation of anxiety about physical activity?
