Story by the Omaha Supernovas
The Omaha Supernovas, Nebraska’s professional volleyball team in the newly-established Professional Volleyball Federation, has announced the addition of Doctor Jaime Seeman as Head Team Physician.
Dr. Seeman is a board-certified OBGYN with a background in nutrition, exercise, and health science. She is also a current Fellow in Integrative Medicine and a board-certified Ketogenic Nutrition Specialist.
“We are super excited to welcome Dr. Seeman to the Supernovas as the head team physician," said Supernovas President Diane Mendenhall. "Having known Jaime since her college days, she is the ideal person for this role. Dr. Seeman's passion, perspective and knowledge is unmatched, and I know our world-class athletes will greatly benefit from her efforts."
A Waverly, Nebraska, native, Seeman played softball for the Nebraska Cornhuskers from 2003-2007. She is a published author and is well-known for her fitness and health brand, “Dr. Fit and Fabulous” which has garnered her international acclaim for her dedication to preventative health measures. Additionally, in 2020 she was named “Mrs. Nebraska” and was in the top 15 at the “Mrs. America” competition.
“I’m so looking forward to joining the Supernovas. As a female athlete, I know all too well the stresses our bodies are under to perform at such a high-level week in and week out,” Dr. Seeman stated. “My commitment is to our players – to make sure they are at a state where they are performing at their peak without putting their health at risk. It’s a delicate balance.”
In addition to her “Dr. Fit and Fabulous” brand, Seeman entered the national spotlight after being selected to compete in the second season of “The Titan Games” hosted by international superstar Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. The NBC show selected Seeman as one of only 18 women to compete after completing an audition process that involved 100 candidates.
Dr. Seeman has a deep family history within Nebraska as her father, Randy, was a member of the 1970 and 1971 Nebraska football national championship teams. Dr. Seeman is married to her husband, Ben, and has three children. She lives in Omaha.
REAL PRO VOLLEYBALL competition will officially begin in the United States with the Omaha Supernovas hosting the Atlanta Vibe in the first match in league history at the CHI Health Center in downtown Omaha on January 24, at 7:00 p.m. CT.
