The Steroid Era and Kids-What Parents and Coaches can do to Prevent Steroid Abuse
Noon
Presenter: Will Haskell, YCS Lev. II, ACE
Steroids have permeated professional sports for decades and this secret society of users has been brought to the national media stage with countless numbers of athletes "cheating" their way into the record books. Still in the shadow of the Steroid Era are millions of kids that have resorted to performance enhancing drugs as a substitute for skill development, performance enhancement training, and nutrition.
Michigan State University is reporting that over 1-million adolescents in the U.S. are
currently using steroids with the possibility of much higher numbers of abuse that have gone unreported. The AthletiCo Sports Performance Center believes that with education, we can properly arm our parents and coaches with the tools they need to keep their young athletes healthy and drug-free
