About the Show

About the TV Show
Shaq's Big Challenge was designed to be a wake-up call — to prod us into taking action against one of our nation's most critical health issues: childhood obesity.

About Shaq
You've watched him on the basketball court, and you've seen him on his new TV show. Here are a few things you may already know about the star of the Miami Heat — and a few you may not!

About the Experts
Shaq knows a thing or two about playing as a team! Faced with tasks as challenging as motivating individual kids, changing PE requirements in schools, and improving options in cafeterias and vending machines, Shaq pulled together a top team of experts in the fields of medicine, nutrition, cooking, and fitness.

About the Kids
The four boys and two girls you saw on Shaq's Big Challenge all go to middle school in Broward County, Florida. Shaq and his team of experts selected them for the show from a pool of kids nominated by their concerned parents.
