Coming to Eau Claire County

On September 12^th-14^th, John Underwood, founder of the American Athletic Institute, will be in Eau Claire County. John is a former NCAA All-American and coach of more than two dozen Olympians including World and Olympic Champions. John has studied the impact of nutrition as well as alcohol and marijuana use on sports performance for more than a decade and has been an advocate for drug-free sports at all levels.

Life of an Athlete© is a program about excellence and healthy lifestyles in youth sports that

• focuses on top performance
• helps athletes be injury-free
• increases community, school, and team pride

Over 40 school and community coaches, athletic directors, and administrators from across Eau Claire County attended a Life of an Athlete presentation this past spring, and felt that Life of an Athlete is a program that will give us the information and tools needed to raise the level of performance among student athletes.
