Health Fitness Revolution’s founder and Houston’s official “Fitness Czar” Samir Becic further praises the event organizers “Great job to the Harris County Sports Authority and the Houston Sports Awards for promoting and honoring sports in Houston. Sports have an immense impact on a person’s health; they improve heart function, reduce the risks of diabetes, control blood sugar, and reduce stress levels. By supporting this event you are reinforcing the city’s commitment to improving childhood fitness- which is paramount to their development and future success as leaders!”
