Ask a lot of adults about the person who kept them on track in high school, and you'll hear about a coach.

Coaches occupy a spot almost no one else does. They see young people multiple days a week, over years. They notice when someone's off. They have credibility that a one-time assembly speaker never will. That's why coaches initiatives have become a real part of the field — training coaches to talk about , , and pressure in ways that land, because of who's saying it.

It doesn't require a curriculum overhaul. It looks like a coach who addresses and **ng directly instead of hoping it doesn't come up, who knows what to do when a kid is struggling, and who models the thing they're asking for. Young athletes face real pressures — from performance expectations to injury and prescription pain medication — and coaches are positioned to meet those head-on.

If your coalition hasn't brought local coaches to the table, fall practice season is a good time to start.

Alcohol poisoning is an alcohol overdose. It happens when there is so much alcohol in the bloodstream that areas of the brain controlling vital functions begin to shut down.

Warning signs include confusion, difficulty staying conscious, vomiting, seizures, and slow or irregular breathing.

Remember: overdose isn't limited to one substance.
