Help Young Athletes Protect Their Game and Avoid Alcohol and other Substance Use!
At Influence the Choice, we're on a mission to equip our youth with tools to live substance-free. Our Substance-Free Athletics curriculum provides coaches with short lesson plans to guide student athletes toward healthy decision making. Help teen athletes "Protect their Game" and avoid alcohol and other drug use.
Substance-Free Athletics provides:
- Quick tips for coaches to share with athletes talking about dangers of substance use.
- Educational resources and curriculum for drug-free coaching lessons and workshops through Substance-Free Athletics.
- A supportive community where athletes learn from their coaches and peers to resist peer pressure and stay healthy.
Why It Matters:
Sports can be a powerful platform for change. Coaches are trusted role models, and when they speak out about the importance of living a drug-free life, they directly influence the future of our youth. By supporting this initiative, you’re giving coaches the tools to lead by example and make an impact that extends far beyond the playing field.
Join us in Creating Champions:
On the field and in life. Your contribution will ensure that young athletes not only succeed in sports but also in making choices that keep them healthy, strong, and drug-free. Give Today!
