As a team of athletes, we know that staying away from drugs and vaping is essential to pursuing our real goals. We have seen peers lose focus and energy because of these harmful substances, and we don’t want that for ourselves or for anyone else. By choosing to stay clean, we give ourselves the best chance to excel in our sport and live a healthy, long life.

We understand the pressure young people face to fit in, but we also know that true belonging comes from shared passions, not shared vices. When we stand together and say no to drugs and vaping, we strengthen our commitment to each other and our dreams. Our unity makes it easier to resist temptation, because we know we’re not alone in our choices.

Our training requires clear lungs, sharp reflexes, and a strong body; drugs and vaping do the opposite by weakening our physical and mental performance. We want to be at our best every time we step on a ramp, and that means fueling our bodies with proper nutrition and air, not toxins. Every practice and show is proof that staying substance-free helps us achieve the heights we aim for.

We also think about the younger students who look up to us during assemblies and events. We want to model the right behaviors and show them that it’s cool to chase your dreams without relying on harmful substances. When we share our stories about staying sober, we hope to inspire them to make the same healthy choices.

In the end, staying away from drugs and vaping isn’t just about avoiding harm; it’s about creating space for positive habits that support our goals. We fill our time with training, friendships, and learning new tricks, which leave no room for negative influences. By committing to this lifestyle as a team, we empower one another to chase real goals and achieve success together.
