Physical Fitness Director
"John Dziegiel, one of the best known and widely respected trainers in the sports field, has a career that dates back over 40 years to the U.S. Military Academy at West Point.
John started in 1928 by assisting the regular West Point trainers with rubdowns; in 1930, he became a full-time assistant trainer and stayed at The Point until 1944. From 1946 through 1967, Dziegiel was head trainer at Fordham University, dividing his time between Rose Hill and Yankee Stadium, where he was co-trainer, along with John Johnson, for the Football Giants, a post he acquired in 1956.
An acknowledged authority on sports injuries and treatment, John helped found the National Association of Athletic Trainers and is also active in the Eastern Athletic Trainers' Association.
Dziegiel now devotes his full time and energies to a year-round physical training and conditioning program for the Giants. Players living in the New York metropolitan area work regularly with John in the off-season."
