TESTIMONIALS
The SALT program introduces…very important and timely issues. It places appropriate burdens of responsibility on the high school students to lead good lives for the sake of those who look up to them. It is remarkable to see how seriously they take this responsibility.
We have been actively involved with AHA for many years, and have plans to do a lot of work with the Sports Parenting Program too. It has always been my philosophy that we have to teach positive behaviors and attitudes to athletes at younger ages.
My school principle and I saw the value in the SALT program right away— athletes speaking about civility, bullying and drug issues. For younger students, it puts more meaning behind what is being said. We are very excited to be back for a second year.
In a world that too often endorses bad behavior, it is rewarding to work with the SALT athletes; they are positive and refreshing role models for the future.
We are very excited that the school district and the community are behind us with this important program.
I was an avid member of AHA in high school and believe it is one of the greatest programs running.
You have meant so much to me, other athletes and children throughout your leadership programs.
The training delivered by SALT trainers not only deals with sports issues, but life, ethical behavior, and positive decision making in general – something high school students can relate to.
SALT allows athletes to give back to the community by providing the opportunity. It is this opportunity that carries from the trainings to the classrooms to other programs and beyond.
Each time I work with the student leaders I become more optimistic about the future of our nation. My experience has shown me just how powerful teenagers can be as role models and mentors to younger students.
Originally a participant and now a trainer, I enjoy the ability to experience the Program from a different perspective and helping student athletes to become involved with younger students in their community.
