What's
it all about? Our
assembly speakers are former NFL players and athletes who are trained
to address life's issues. They discuss the importance of character
and values and have spoken to thousands of students in school assembly
programs across America and internationally, helping them make positive
life changes.
NFL players and athletes identify with students by sharing personal
experiences. They present the consequences of alcohol, drugs, crime,
peer pressure and violence and encourage students to try their best
at academics, sports and life.
They talk about the importance of values such as
honesty, caring and responsibility while explaining how they
have been able to overcome problems in their lives through their personal experiences.
Champions For Today athletes are ready to speak to your students
to give them hope and an opportunity to change.
