>>> AFTER 22 SEASONS IN THE MLB,
ALEX RODRIGUEZ CLEARLY KNOWS THE
IMPORTANCE OF PUTTING YOUR
HEALTH FIRST, BUT EVEN BEING A THREE-TIME MVP AND WORLD SERIES
CHAMPION DOESN’T PROTECT HIM
FROM SOME ISSUES WE CAN ALL
FACE.
HERE TO TELL US ALL ABOUT IT AND SOME OF THE FUN THINGS HE’S UP
TO OFF THE FIELD IS 14-TIME
ALL-AROUND ALL-STAR A-ROD. WELCOME.
>> THANK YOU, SARA.
THANK FOR HAVING ME.
THIS IS YOUR FIRST TIME HERE, I
CAN’T BELIEVE IT.
>> HOPEFULLY YOU’LL INVITE ME
BACK.
>> HOPEFULLY WE’LL HAVE YOU
BACK.
>> THIS IS A BIG SPORTS TIME OF
THE YEAR AND WE HAVE THE SUPER
BOWL IN TWO WEEKS WHICH I CAN’T EVEN BELIEVE.
I UPON THATKNOW THAT YOU HAVE BE
GAMES YOURSELF.
WHAT IS THE PREP LIKE PHYSICALLY
AND MENTALLY.
>> FIRST OF ALL, IT’S IN LAS
VEGAS SO IT WILL BE A BIG PARTY.
>> FIRST TIME?
>> FIRST TIME EVER IN THE NEW
RAIDER STADIUM AND YOU’LL HAVE
THE CHIEFS AND THE 49ERS AND
YOU’LL HAVE OVER 100 MILLION
PEOPLE WATCHING, THE COMMERCIALS
ARE FUN, THE GAME IS EXCITING
AND MY DAUGHTERS PERSONALLY GET REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THE
HALFTIME SHOW, OF COURSE.
>> OF COURSE.
I DON’T KNOW IF THEY’RE FANS OF
TAYLOR SWIFT, BUT I KNOW THAT RIGHT NOW FOOTBALL IS REALLY BIG
WITH THAT AGE GROUP, TOO. YOU HAVE BEEN IN SOME
HIGH-PROFILE RELATIONSHIPS WHILE
ON THE FIELD.
WHAT IS IT LIKE THE WHOLE THING
WITH TRAVIS KELCE AND TAYLOR
SWIFT.
IS IT A DISTRACTION OR A MOTIVATING THING?
>> I THINK IT CAN BE BOTH
DEPENDS HOW YOU TREAT IT.
I THINK KELCE’S DONE AN
INCREDIBLE JOB WHICH IS KEEPING
THE MAIN THING THE MAIN THING
AND HE’S IN THE SUPER BOWL AND HE’S KILLING IT AND HIS BEST
FRIEND MAHOMES IS CRUSHING IT,
AS WELL. FOR THE NFL IT’S BEEN A BIG WIN
TO HAVE THE SWIFTIES AROUND THE
WORLD NOW JOIN.
>> I KNOW YOU’VE BEEN IN A BUNCH OF SUPER BOWL COMMERCIALS, TOO.
THAT MUST BE SO COOL WHEN YOU
GET THAT CALL. DO YOU HAVE A FAVORITE ONE
BECAUSE THEY’RE ALWAYS THE EPIC
COMMERCIALS OF THE YEAR. >> WE DID ONE WITH PIZZA HUT,
PLANTER’S AND PRESIDENTE BEER
AND YOUR PHONE BLOWS UP AND
EVERYONE IS WATCHING B BUT
THERE’S NOTHING LIKE THE SUPER
BOWL.
>> YOU ARE HERE TO TALK ABOUT
YOUR HEALTH AND AS AN ATHLETE
PEOPLE ASSUME THAT YOU ARE THE
PICTURE OF HEALTH AND YOU TAKE GOOD CARE OF YOURSELF.
WERE YOU SURPRISED WHEN YOU WERE
DEEG NOSED WITH
DIAGNOSED WITH EARLY STAGE GUM
DISEASE.
>> ABOUT A YEAR AGO OR SO I GOT
DIAGNOSED WITH GUM DISEASE AND I
PANICKED. IT WAS SHOCKING AND THEN I WENT
TO GO SEE MY DENTIST AND I FOUND OUT THAT AROUND 50% OF THE
PEOPLE OVER THE AGE OF 30 HAVE
GUM DISEASE.
>> REALLY?
THE BIGGEST THING YOU CAN DO IS
GET OFF THE COUCH.
GO SEE YOUR DENTIST.
I KNOW PEOPLE DON’T WANT TO GO
SEE HIM, BUT YOU HAVE TO, AND
FOR ME HAVING A ROUTINE, BEING
DISCIPLINED AND I GO SEE MY
DENTIST ONCE EVERY THREE MONTHS
AND HE’S TREATING ME AND YOU CAN’T CURE THE DISEASE, BUT YOU
CAN MANAGE IT AND TREAT IT. >> SO I DEFINITELY DON’T GO TO
MY DENTIST EVERY THREE MONTH,
BUT WHAT DO WE NEED TO BE
LOOKING FOR?
>> IT DOESN’T MATTER IF YOU HAVE
A PRETTY SMILE.
YOU CAN STILL HAVE GUM DISEASE,
RIGHT?
WHEN YOU BRUSH, IF THERE’S
BLEEDING OR ACHING, ANYTHING LIKE THAT.
IF YOU’RE IN DOUBT GO TO
TREATGUMDISEASE.COM, TREATGUMDISEASE.COM AND GO SEE
YOUR DENTIST AND ASK THE RIGHT
QUESTIONS.
>> YOU PARTNERED WITH ORAL
PHARMA ON THIS AND YOU ARE
HELPING RAISE AWARENESS ALONG WITH THEM AND I’M SURE THEY HAVE
A BUNCH OF INFORMATION ON THEIR
WEBSITE, AS WELL. OFF THE FIELD, TOO, I KNOW THAT
YOU HAVE A LOT OF THINGS GOING
ON.
I
I MISSED YOU ON "SHARK TANK"
WHEN I’M READY TO PITCH SOMETHING I’LL KNOW WHERE TO GO.
WHAT ARE YOU MOST EXCITED ABOUT
INVESTING IN RIGHT NOW. >> I THINK WHAT I’M MOST EXCITED
ABOUT TODAY, MY NUMBER ONE RESPONSIBILITY IS BEING A FATHER
TO MY TWO GIRLS AND NATASHA IS
AT THE THEATER PROGRAM AND ELLA
IS IN MIAMI AND IT’S ABOUT
MANAGING OUR ASSETS AND TEACHING AND I JUST STARTED MY SIXTH YEAR
TEACHING AT STANFORD BUSINESS
SCHOOL CALLED STRATEGIC
PIVOTING.
>> ESPECIALLY AFTER THE PANDEMIC, EVERYONE WANTS TO
LEARN HOW TO PIVOT STRATEGICALLY
AND YOU ALSO BECAME AN OWNER OF
THE MINNESOTA TIMBERWOLVES AND
THE LYNX.
I DON’T KNOW MUCH ABOUT
BASKETBALL.
>> BECAUSE YOU’RE A BASEBALL
GIRL. >> I’M A YANKEES FAN.
>> I LOVE THAT.
>> WHAT IS IT LIKE TO BE AN
OWNER OF A BASKETBALL TEAM WHEN
YOU’RE A BASEBALL GUY.
IS IT DIFFERENT?
>> THE WNBA AND I’M VERY BULLISH
IN WOMEN’S SPORTS AND THE NBA IS
JUST AN INCREDIBLE LEAGUE AND
IT’S A GLOBAL LEAGUE AND IT’S
GROWING YEAR OVER YEAR.
WE HAVE A LEAGUE IN AFRICA, IN ASIA AND IT’S REALLY ARC MAZING
AND WE HAVE A TREMENDOUS LEADER
IN ADAM SILVER.
COULDN’T BE MORE EXCITED AND
THEY’RE DOING WELL IN NEW YORK. WE’RE THE FIRST PLACE TEAM IN
THE WEST AND WE’RE EXCITED FOR A COOL SUMMER.
>> EXCITED FOR WHAT’S TO COME.
