Great Outcomes, Strong Decisions.

Why Student Athletes

Athletes can influence culture even in the general population, so changing their opinions and behaviors around drugs and alcohol can reach beyond just the teams.
School districts tend to have strong guidelines supporting “substance-free athletics,” yet over time few involved, even coaches and administrators, know what the rules and regs actually are.
