Nutrition and exercise were the topics of discussion in the sixth grade class at Pearl City’s Momilani Elementary School this morning. The guest lecturer? Icon Sport Middleweight Champion Frank Trigg (Pictures). Trigg, who is in Honolulu to witness the Icon Sport “All In” event, was invited to speak last week.
Trigg was a “natural” and immediately took control of the room. The children were completely focused on him as he told of his journey into MMA via wrestling. He explained the importance of nutrition, flexibility, and exercise, and urged each one of them to put down the TV remote control and spend more time playing any games that got them off the couch and up moving their bodies.
After his lecture - and the standing ovation that followed - Trigg autographed the “Icon Sport: Trigg versus Mayhem” poster for each child in the class. And as he walked out of the class, he proudly told the class’ teacher, “That’s was great. That makes everything I do in practice and in the ring worth while. Thank you for letting me share with them.”
