What happened
Drug Czar Sara Carter introduced a Coaches vs. Overdoses appeal in an Office of National Drug Control Policy video, saying she has spent her career on the front lines of the drug crisis and has seen countless families shattered and communities devastated by overdose deaths, often the result of a single bad decision, as she described it.
Carter said positive role models are among the most important factors in prevention, and that coaches are some of the best, calling on coaches to join the movement to defeat the drug crisis, as she put it.
NFL Hall of Famer Randy White said he lost his son-in-law to a counterfeit pill: the man was an athlete who hurt his knee, was given a pill to stop the pain, and two hours later was dead, as White told it. He said that is how it happens for so many people — one injury, one pill, one moment that changes a family forever — and that coaches, parents and mentors can save a life before it is too late, as he stated it.
Why it matters
The video recruits coaches as prevention messengers, pairing the Drug Czar’s appeal with a Hall of Famer’s personal loss to a counterfeit pill.
