Athlete Committed is a program designed to aid students in their athletic and life pursuits. It is designed to educate and hold students accountable for making healthy lifestyle choices regarding sleep, nutrition, substance avoidance, mood and leadership in order to achieve optimal training and athletic performance. The primary goal is to move the athletic and student culture towards higher levels of individual and team success. The program is a partnership between CUSD and Butte County Behavioral Health’s Prevention Unit. Athlete Committed facilitates annual Fall, Winter & Spring code nights for student athletes and their parents, cross age presentations to junior high students and Brief Intervention for substance use code violations. In addition, the Prevention Unit also facilitates an annual coaches’ clinic, weekly Athlete Committed (club) meetings on campus, monthly events and creates a variety of student athlete leadership opportunities throughout the year.

About this Program:

The goal of this program is to promote athletic excellence and reduce youth exposure to substance use. Athlete Committed also educates athletes on how to reach their peak performance and get the most out of their training. Athlete Committed educates athletes on the proper sleep, diet, and mindset that can help them excel and reach their full potential on and off of the field.

The biggest reason athletes do not reach their full athletic potential is because they give up what they want most for what they want at the moment. It is not just that you put on a uniform or show up every day at practice or the games…You are an athlete all the time, on and off the field. You represent your family, your community, your school, your teammates, your coach, and yourself.

Athlete Committed is divided into 3 steps: Notice, Choose, and Act.

The first step is Notice, and it encourages athletes to be aware of the facts surrounding alcohol consumption. The second step in Athlete Committed is Choose, and it encourages athletes to make the best choice by choosing excellence, taking ownership, choosing a life of excellence and peak performance by not letting alcohol keep them from reaching their full potential. The last step in Athlete Committed is Act. Act provides guidelines for athletes and their team to follow a plan of action to continue to lead a life of excellence.
