This presentation doesn’t blatantly tell teens how to live their life but offers relevant information that will help them SHAPE THEIR OWN LIVES! The session specifically addresses how fortunate they are to have their health. It allows them to consider real hard decisions that have a direct impact on the quality of the rest of their lives. A more intense look at just alcohol and drug use/abuse and the many unknown potential affects are shared with them for consideration in their decision-making processes. This relevant information shared comes from John Underwood, a researcher with the American Athletic Institute. After over 14,000 studies over 20 years, he has shared new results from his research that is critical for all teens, parents, coaches, school administration, law enforcement and community members. The session focuses on looking at their bodies as priceless gifts. Intermittent stories and video clips are used to allow the teen to "feel" the necessary emotions in their hearts as they truly think about the decisions they are making or about to make soon.
