  8. Phase 1: Pre-Season Meetings Discuss conditions for involvement, expectations, philosophy and what it means to be an athlete. Phase 2: Athletic Codes of Conduct Conditions for Involvement Implementation and enforcement of code of conduct with students and parents having knowledge, understanding and agreement of policies. Phase 3: Coaching Effectiveness Training Training all coaches at all levels to understand and confront chemical health issues. Phase 4: Developing Leadership to Confront Behaviors of Concern Identifying and developing student (team) leaders. Phase 5: Stakeholder Unity Ensuring all members of community to take stake in eliminating drug and alcohol use among youth and promoting a healthy lifestyle.

  9. “Life of An Athlete” Committee • Mr. Nielsen • Mr.Worrell • Mr.Kravig • Mr.Feeney • Mrs.Webster • Mrs.Benes • In July & August, we met and I introduced them to the “Life of An Athlete”. • We had a discussion on which ‘piece of the puzzle’ do we want to educate coaches, parents, athletes and students about first and how do we want to do that.

  10. Pro-Active Approach to Proper Nutrition • Water only in a clear bottle allowed in the school. • Educate students about nutritional snacks and encourage them to bring those to school. 3. Consuming supplements will only take place at home notduring the school day, at activities or on school grounds.

  11. NUTRITIONWhy Nutrition? Focus is education not activities – supplements and other outside drinks are a distraction in class and to the academic focus Boone Central is striving for. 2. School cannot monitor what is in drinks and supplements or amounts/quantities consumed. This can bedangerous to students and a liability to the school. 3. Boone Central is taking a stand against supplements that are banned by the NCAA and other college institutions.

  12. NFHS: Supplements Position Statement “Athletes should be encouraged to pursue their athletic goals through hard work, appropriate rest and good nutrition, not unsubstantiated dietary shortcuts.”

  13. Coaches’ Discretion – School Activities • Coaches will need to give clear guidelines and expectations to students for food, snacks and drinks prior to and after practice and competitions including pre-packaged or sealed items. • Taken from the NCAA, permissible items include: • Energy Bars • Calories Replacement Drinks (e.g., Ensure, Boost, Carnation Instant Breakfast) • Electrolyte Replacement Drinks (e.g., Gatorade, Powerade) • Taken from NCAA, non-permissible, examples include but are not limited to: • Amino Acids, Chrysin, Condroitin, Creatine/Creatine-containing compounds, Ginseng, Glucosamine, Glycerol, HMB, I-carnitin, Melatonin, Pos-2, Protein Powders, Tribulus

  14. We need your assistance! Information on L.O.A. components such as Nutrition, Impact of Alcohol & Drugs, Sleep & Recovery and Healthy & Positive Lifestyle (sportsmanship, character building, etc.) will be put in the announcements, newsletters, school website & hung up around the school to educate ALLstudents, parents, coaches and teachers.

  15. Everyone – administrators, coaches, sponsors, teachers, parents – need to be saying the same thing about living a healthy and positive lifestyle, demonstrating this lifestyle and holding students accountable. Every group plays an important part in this piece of the puzzle. We all want to do what is best for kids and want them to be successful.

  16. Another piece to the LOA puzzle is: Sportsmanship • The coach/sponsor sets the tone for his or her assistant coaches, players and the fans. • Our coaches are held to a high standard when it comes to modeling good sportsmanship at all times, especially during contests. • Coaches: “You are a coachall the time, on and off the field. You represent your family, your community, your school, your athletes, your fellow coaches and YOURSELF.”

  17. Sportsmanship • Parents: “You are a parentall the time. You represent your family, your community, our school, our teams, our coaches and YOURSELF.” • Athletes: “You are an athlete all the time, on and off the field (or court). You represent your family, your community, your school, your teammates, your coaches and YOURSELF.”

  18. 1st step: Student talks to coach/sponsor. • 2nd step: Parent talks to coach - students attendance is encouraged. Option of coach or parent to have A.D. present. • 3rd step: Parent, student and building principal or superintendent will meet. Communication: Chain of Command

  19. Communication Expectations from Parents: Please do not attempt to confront a coach/sponsor before or after a contest or practice. These can be emotional times for both the parent and the coach. Communicating in this nature does not promote resolution and even worsens the situation. Appropriate concerns to discuss with sponsor/coach: Inappropriate issues to discuss with sponsor/coach: Playing time. Team strategy. Play calling. Matters concerning other student-athletes. • The treatment of your child, mentally and physically. • Ways to help your child improve. • Concerns about your child’s behavior.
