President Donald Trump is set to name several All-Stars from the sports world to his revamped sports council and most have previous ties to the president.

Trump signed an order in February to change the goal of the "Council on Sports, Fitness, and Nutrition" to one that encourages children to play sports. Under President Barack Obama, the council was more focused on health and nutrition.

Among the stars named to the council are Bill Belichick, Mariano Rivera, three-time Olympic gold medalist Misty May-Treanor, Matt Damon, LouFerrigno, and Dr. Mehmet Oz.

Below we take a look at the biggest names on the council and their previous ties to the president.

Belichick made headlines on the eve of the 2016 election when Trump said he had received an endorsement from the New England Patriots head coach and his star quarterback, Tom Brady. It was later confirmed that Belichick had written a letter to Trump congratulating him on his campaign, saying: "You've proved to be the ultimate competitor and fighter. Your leadership is amazing. I have always had tremendous respect for you, but the toughness and perseverance you have displayed over the past year is remarkable. "
