Auburn, Alabama

Auburn University Assistant Director of Education and Raptor Training: The iconic pregame flight doesn't happen without her.



Behind-the-Scenes: "We train on the field for an hour every day June through December. The eagle doesn't respond to my affections or praise; he is conditioned to come to me for food. On game day, we're doing the same dance—except 87,000 of our friends are watching."



Secret Weapon: "The birds get exercise by chasing me, so I run around outside a lot. Olay has a moisturizer with SPF 15 that doesn't sting my eyes when I get sweaty."
