Green Bay Packers Eddie Lacy Trades In His Cleats For A Saw
Eddie Lacy took a break from training camp and tried his hand in the sport of lumberjacking. He got some help from competitive lumberjacks Shana Verstegen and Cassidy Scheer at the Paul Bunyan Northwood’s Lumberjack Show in Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin. Lacy did some pole climbing, the two-man cross cut saw, and axe throwing.
This was part of the Gatorade Beat the Heat program, which aims to educate athletes on the importance of heat safety and staying hydrated during the hot summer months. Not only is Lacy now equipped with a new skill set, but he also learned firsthand that lumberjack athletes compete in similar conditions as football players – outside in the hot and humid weather, while losing a lot of sweat during training and competition.
