WIN WITH INTEGRITYBRING ROLE MODEL OLYMPIANS TO THE SCHOOL OF YOUR CHOICE! The Win With Integrity program is a USA Track & Field (USATF) program initiative aimed at educating youth, parents, educators, and coaches about the positive results that come from leading a physically active, drug-free lifestyle, while living with integrity. A program in which the champions of track and field work directly with young people around the nation, the Win With Integrity program has evolved from a start-up program in 2004, into one of USA Track & Field's most successful initiatives. The Win With Integrity program includes the introduction of the participating athletes by a USATF emcee, who also provides background on the goals and themes of USA Track & Field and of Win With Integrity, stressing the importance of active, drug-free lifestyles and good decision-making. The USATF Year-in-Review Video is then played, providing visual motivation for the students, and displaying the excitement of our sport and athletes. Following the video, athletes engage in an interactive, question-and-answer session with students, focusing on the key themes of good sportsmanship, the importance of leading a healthy lifestyle, and the need to avoid drugs. The program concludes with the recitation of the Win With Integrity program pledge and an athlete autograph session. View a Photo Gallery of past Win With Integrity events and the Win With Integrity Program Pledge, that students recite. When available, the program is held inside an auditorium, where a Win With Integrity program banner is displayed across the stage. As students file into the auditorium, they are handed a Win With Integrity pledge card. At the end of the program, participants recite a pledge indicating their commitment to be active and drug-free. USATF staff script the program and suggest athlete talking points based on feedback from local educators and the Win With Integrity pledge. *** DONATE NOW! *** Please contact Tom Jackovic, Executive Director, USATF Foundation at (412) 398-2484 for further information regarding the Win With Integrity program.
