Today's junior high school students are faced with a constant barrage of media, negative models of behavior by pro athletes, and a culture that advocates a "win at all costs" mentality.
These influences are impacting the attitudes and behaviors student-athletes are bringing to the field, the court and the classroom. |
In STAR Sportsmanship, Junior High students learn...
• How to deal with difficult situations.
• How their actions affect others.
• The warning signs of steroids and other illicit drug use.
• Why it's better to put the team first.
• How to talk to a teammate about drugs.
