Health Summit Recap

The Health Summit was one of the most impactful events we’ve ever hosted. The topics discussed resonated deeply with many of our student-athletes.

Our first speaker, LaQuanna Jackson, addressed the dangers of vaping, highlighting how it impairs athletic performance and can lead to addiction, particularly in the developing brains of adolescents.

Following her, Caitlin Hart shared insights into the career of an athletic trainer and emphasized the importance of proper nutrition to help student-athletes reach their full potential. She also expressed her passion for student-athlete health and wellness, offering valuable resources.

Our final speaker, Xavier Hill, a college counselor from North Florida, explained the science of staying calm under pressure. He provided practical tools for student-athletes to use when they need to stay focused.

The summit was truly memorable. Student-athletes from across the state were engaged and interactive, asking thoughtful questions that challenged our speakers. Schools that participated should be proud of the curiosity and engagement shown by their athletes.

For those who missed it, the SCHSL staff encourages you to take advantage of this excellent resource. Speaker contact information and additional resources will be available in the upcoming TuesNews.
