Upcoming speaking engagements
Are you doing enough to educate your student-athletes and coaches about drugs in sport?
Educational programming is an integral part of the drug-use deterrance puzzle. An effective education component in your drug-testing program will empower athletes with the information and skills to make responsible and healthy decisions.
Expert speakers from Drug Free Sport are available to provide professional and entertaining educational sessions targeted to athletes, coaches, and/or adminsitrators.
Drug Free Sport speakers provide the most current and accurate information available. While our messages deter athletes from using banned substances, they are not a scare tactic. Instead the sessions serve as a source of accurate information so the athletes can make educated decisions.
Drug Free Sport speakers qualify for NCAA grant money ($500) for NCAA member institutions that apply for assistance. For more information about the NCAA Speakers Grant program, click here or contact Mary Wilfert at the NCAA.
Our most popular topics include:
- Dietary supplements: "Can you win without supplements?"
- Sport drug-testing policies and procedures: "Don't wait 'till urine trouble."
- A popular overview: "Drug and supplement use in sports."
Other topics and custom programs are available on request.
