Section IX Chemical Health Chairperson: Marco Lanzoni, Athletic Director Spackenkill High School

What is LIFE of an ATHLETE?
A program that joins athletes, parents and coaches to advocate the non-use of
alcohol, tobacco and other drugs. The program assists communities by impacting
school athletic programs with regard to chemical health issues. Social drug use has
reached epidemic levels in our youth and student athletes are among the highest at
risk groups. The American Athletic Institute has spent more than a decade studying
the social dynamics of alcohol and marijuana use by middle school and high school
athletes. They have conducted studies linking use and diminished athletic
performance. This information has been developed into a highly regarded
prevention/intervention program that has been shown for the past seven years, at
the Department of Justice’s OJJDP National Leadership Conference.
