Standing on a stage in Scottsdale, Arizona, at the American Sports and Performance Dietitians Association's 17th annual conference, Ted Harper's career with the New England Patriots came full circle.
It was at his first ASPDA conference in 2012 where he met former director of football/head coach administration Berj Najarian, who after three tries convinced Harper to interview with the Patriots. Now going on his 14th season as the team's head sports dietitian, Harper was back at the conference to accept one of ASPDA's most distinguished accolades.
"I'm not a big awards guy, but I knew how important this award was," Harper told Patriots.
