 By Keith Kenyon

 Coached football collegiately and in high school

 Research done by US Olympic trainers
 14,000 tests in 20 years
 61% of college players have had performance
negatively effected by alcohol
 75% of team captains use alcohol
 What is the example you set?
 Not only captains but seniors, all conference
players
 Athletes like “HIGH RISK” situations
 Social / Popularity Issue
 Everyone else does it…
 Don’t want to be left out
 Helps me fit in
 Imitation
 Adults
 commercials
 #1 Cause of DEATHS & ACCIDENTS in youth
 DUI’s
 VEHICULAR MANSLAUGHTER
 ARRESTED (UNDERAGE, DRUNKED DISORDER)
 14-24 years are the most dangerous ten
years of the entire lifespan. We lose more
people to fatal accidents during this time
than during all other ages combined.
 Most widely used drug in college
 80% of college students use alcohol
 THERE ARE NO POSITIVE EFFECTS
 Socially
 Health-wise
 Athletically
 Community-wise
 Family-wise
 Alcohol is a METABOLIC POISON
 THERE ARE NO POSITIVE EFFECTS OF ALCOHOL IN
YOUR BODY
1 oz of alcohol= 200 calories
 Alcohol has NO FAT!
 But…you’re body views it as a fat
 Thereis more of a chance you will drink or
smoke weed because you are hanging out
with people who are drinking and smoking
weed than if you are physically offered a
beer or a joint…

FAMILIARITY + ACCESS = USE

 Testsran by Olympic Drug Committee
 Slower Agility
 Weaker Strength
 Recovery time is shot
 HGH production drops 70%
 HGH repairs muscle fibers
 Muscle repair time is shot
 Lack of sleep
 No REM
 HGH is release during sleep time
 NO REM SLEEP=NO MUSCLE REPAIR
 Explosive power reduced
 Hand eye coordination
 Accuracy and skills
 Slower reflexes
 Overall brain speed slows down
 For up to 12 hours
 Your bodies blood glucose decreases
 Too busy fighting/breaking down alcohol from night before
 Testosterone levels drop to female levels
 Heavy drinking nights can drop testosterone levels for up to 96
hours
 Alcohols diuretic effect diminishes water soluble vitamins
required for hormone catalytic/conversion actions
 Alcohol greatly increases the release of Cortisol (the stress
hormone)
 Cortisol negates training effect
 Olympic Studies Show
 11.4% less production of potential due to alcohol
 15.2% for collegiate athletes
 Olympic Athletes are best in the world…and they drop
over 10% of their production!
 75 Football players
 10 40’s (hopefully perfect)
 3 min rest
 10 more 40’s
 Average time was a 5.337
 Last 40’s average time was a 6.100
 2 weeks later, players were taken out and given
10 beers in 4 hours and asked to run the test
again the next day
 Average time was 5.437
 Last 40’s average time was 6.500
 6.2% reduced production
Alcohol is a metabolic
poison that crosses all
barriers and negatively
affects all systems of the
human physiology
simultaneously
 Marijuana
 THC levels in Marijuana
 In 1960’s used to be 1-4% THC levels
 Now in the 40%’s
 THC is in the system up to 49-63 days (if active)
 Affects:
 Vision
 Depth perception
 Tracking moving objects
 Movement
 Memory
 Skill catalogue
 Coordination
 Reflex
 judgment
 Out of 100 injured players…
 55% are drinkers
 23% are non drinkers
1 drink will negate 14 days of training

 Not only Strength

 But alcohol severely punishes your immune
system
 When is flu season?

 REM DOES NOT HAPPEN WHEN YOU GO TO
SLEEP DRUNK OR STONED

 Alcohol 9.7%
 Fruit Juice 6.7%
 Rapidly rising is energy drinks!
 A stimulate (caffeine or sugar)
