Peak Performance: Student Athlete Program
Over half of all high school students in the U.S. are athletes. That is approximately 8 million athletes, yet only 6% will have the opportunity to play sports in college. This competitive dynamic has increased stress, performance anxiety, and created a willingness to do whatever it takes to gain a competitive edge.
The Peak Performance workshops educate athletes, parents, and coaches on the true effects substances can have on a student’s performance and discusses alternative healthy strategies. These interactive programs are delivered by a Caron Student Assistance Program Specialist.
Topics covered include:
- The impact of substances on athletic performance, including caffeine and workout supplements.
- The unique factors that place athletes at greater risk for substance abuse than non-athletes.
- Strategies to develop a positive team culture.
- How to be at peak performance throughout the season so both personal and team goals can be met.
