RI Interscholastic League Monthly Bulletin
May 1999

FROM THE DESK OF …

The Executive Director

I would like to clear up some misunderstanding regarding the Assumption of Risk Form. Only one (1) Risk Form needs to be submitted for each student-athlete who participates in athletics at your school. Some schools are sending an Assumption of Risk Form for each season in which a student-athlete participates. A Form must be submitted to the League office the first time a student-athlete participates in a sport. This one and only time will cover the student-athlete for his/her entire career.

The Principals’ Committee on Athletics approved a new practice starting time for Football only beginning with the 1999-2000 school year. The starting date for 1999 is August 16th. This date was arrived at by counting 17 calendar days from the 1st Round Robin game scheduled on September 2nd. The reason for the change is to insure that the proper conditioning will take place prior to outside scrimmages and games being played. The limitations were sent to Principals and Athletic Directors in Apil. (see ‘Football’ under Summary of Meeting in this bulletin).

The Sports Medicine Committee is looking at similar practice limitations in all sports. The limitations will be recommended to the Principals’ Committee on Athletics for their approval. When they are adopted, schools will be notified.

* Important Reminder *

Declarations of Intent Forms and Principals’ Pledges have been sent to all schools. If you have not already done so, please be sure to complete and return to the League Office ASAP. The deadline for submitting these forms was April 30th!

"In a game [like basketball], there is so much that can be done to influence the team’s efforts and effectiveness that every second lost on misplaced focus is usually a point lost on the scoreboard. Unfortunately athletes today see so many examples of misplaced focus that the unfocused approach to sports seems commonplace. Pro stars on TV whine and complain; parents rant and rave; and coaches whose teams lack direction nevertheless often place excessive attention on the referees."

"I want athletes to realize that the best way to approach sports and the best way to approach life is with total focus on yourself and on what you can do to positively impact your teammates, your coaches, and your fans."

Renaissance Games - Lincoln High School Emerges Triumphant

On Saturday, May 8th, students from Lincoln High School and Portsmouth High School faced off in the championship round of the Inaugural Rhode Island Interscholastic League Renaissance Games. Lincoln defeated Portsmouth by a final score of 440 to 425 in a contest that stayed close until the end.

The Games are the brainchild of the Institute for International Sport at the University of Rhode Island, which wanted to promote the idea of creating friendship between academic, athletic and cultural participants. Pilot programs have been held at the University of Ulster in Belfast, Northern Ireland, and Bates College in Lewiston, Main, but the Rhode Island Interscholastic League Games marked the first time high school students in the United Stated have participated in this program.

The Games were designed for the well-founded student able to match wits, athletic prowess and artistic ability with others in a day of good-natured competition and fun. This meant an athlete also had to be able to come up with the goods in academics, maybe answer math questions here, a law question there. S/he could also end up singing a song or acting out a part in the improvisational theatre competition.

The Renaissance Games Championship was held from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm on the campus of Rhode Island College. Everyone involved agrees that the program was a tremendous success. Prospects for the program growing in the future look bright. Members of the RIIL staff will be meeting with the staff of the Institute for International Sport to discuss plans for next years Games.

Runners

Runners from Lincoln and Portsmouth High Schools set out on the 5K race around the
campus of R. I. College on Saturday as part of the first Renaissance Games for High School students.

NFHS Introduces Second Edition of
Citizenship Curriculum

Kansas City, MO – The National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS) has introduced the second edition of the Citizenship Through Sports and Fine Arts curriculum. The curriculum, initially released in September 1997, was developed in response to concerns by the NFHS membership that the idea, teaching and nurturing of citizenship in our schools and curriculum needed to be re-emphasized, particularly through the medium of sports and activities.

The original curriculum consisted of a Rekindle the Spirit video and books focusing on citizenship traits of respect, positive values, perspective, sportsmanship, teamwork, healthy lifestyles and community service. An evaluation unit measures the effectiveness of the program and provides administrators ways, more important than records, to determine a coach’s and a team’s success.

Teachable moments are provided that coaches can use to demonstrate these components of citizenship with their students whether in practice, in competition or off the field.

New components of the curriculum provide additional reinforcement for teaching citizenship values in high school co-curricular programs. Being Intentional About Citizenship – Teachable Moments in Fine Arts is a new booklet that helps fine arts directors reinforce citizenship ideas. A Guide for High School Administrators gives school administrators insight on how the curriculum should be presented to coaches and to boards of education and includes a sample letter to parents. The Winning Respect video shows kids talking about respect for opponents, teammates and teams; officials; the game, and between athletes and coaches.

"When the NFHS introduced the Citizenship Through Sports and Fine Arts curriculum, our goal was to help coaches and advisors teach, nurture and reinforce citizenship values," said Robert F. Kanaby, executive director of the NFHS. "We are continuing our efforts to use co-curricular activities to contribute to the positive growth of our nation through these new additions which direct our efforts toward administrators and students."

The curriculum package, which contains all of the original materials as well as the new information, is available for $49.95 plus shipping and handling. Orders may be placed through the NFHS Customer Service Department at 1-800-776-3462 or 816-464-5400.

Children Want Fairness From Their Coaches

With the spring season upon us, children in every age group from 6 to 16 are training for baseball, softball, volleyball, and track and field are seemingly everywhere.

What do these young bodies and minds deserve in the way of coaches?

What do they want from their coaches? What should a person do or what knowledge should they bring to their charges?

There are a handful of traits, behavior patterns, or ways of treating people that are absolutely necessary to having the children enjoy what they are doing.

The coach must make it fun. Scores are kept, friends are made, and discipline is learned. But it must be fun.

The coach needs to be enthusiastic. The time s/he spends with the team or individual should be upbeat and uplifting, not a total grind or always unbendingly serious.

The adult has to be "fair" with everybody, cannot have favorites, and must treat substitutes and stars alike. No player is more special than another, no matter their individual skill levels.

The other major requirement is that the coach should be able to see situations and any problem through the eyes of the children or players. The coach must know the goals and desires of the children as well as what s/he wants to accomplish.

If the coach possesses all of the above abilities and traits, s/he will be an asset to his/her team of children.

Of course, the team will want to win its games. So, the next want of the coach would be that they have a knowledge of their sport or game and knows both the strategy and the rules of whatever they are trying to teach.

There are plenty of secondary traits that complement the necessities. The more of them the coach brings to his team, the better it will respond to him/her.

The coach should be organized, maximizing the time spent with the children with a well-run practice, whether it be with drills or under the game conditions, the more beneficial it will be to the young minds in attendance.

The organized coach can give his players an idea of future plans, practices, games, and trips.

The players should be told where they stand and what their roles will be if it is a team sport. Maybe every player has the same role. If so, tell them what is expected of them.

There needs to be discipline, but the coach cannot be a tyrant or totally inflexible.

Practices should be something other than drudgery. Preparing to play games can be upbeat or even uplifting. Drills can be made competitive and enjoyable.

The use of positive criticism or helpful criticism is always a help. Do not be overly sarcastic or constantly critical.

The coach should like his minions as people.

The coach should act like an adult and not as a "peer". A "peer" will have a hard time with any negative situations that arise.

A sense of humor is quite an asset, especially later in the season when the coach and players have been around each other for a long time. Light moments can be used to teach and instruct as well as those fraught with tension or urgency.

There needs to be some quiet moments and the coach cannot always be yelling, either during practices or during games or competitions.

There should be a consistency of attitude and moods and not a series of mood swings that causes nervousness in the team. The players need to concentrate on what is being taught or conveyed and not on whether the coach is unhappy or unmotivated.

The coach cannot be preoccupied when at practice or during games.

The adult teacher/coach should be approachable by his players. They have to listen and believe valid reasons for unusual behavior and not have autocratic rules that can never be altered to fit some unforeseen situation.

The asking and giving of advice when approached for it by a player is a generous gift bestowed upon the coach. When a child shows enough confidence in them to want to know their opinion on some matter, that coach is a success. To hear on-court or off-court problems is quite a compliment to the coach for his players trust him and his judgment.

The coach should be truthful and not exaggerate positives or negatives about his team or the opponents.

Don’t create false hopes or false fear in your team.

The coach has to know there are aspects to the child’s life other than just the particular team he is coaching. The children will have other interests and should have other interests. Therefore, the child will not be thinking about your sport 24 hours a day.

Don’t have rules that are too inflexible. What rules you have, be consistent in determining the penalty for breaking them and enforce that penalty evenly to all players.

Think about the feelings of those you are instructing. Give their hopes and desires more than cursory thought. Remember, there is someone who loves every person on your team. Treat them accordingly, as someone who is worthy of love. If you do that, everything else should fall into place…and everybody will have some fun and will be better for their experiences with you --- the coach.

The Consequences of Anabolic Steroid Abuse
by David R. Lamb, Ph.D.
Ohio State University

reprinted from the Coaches’ Corner
a service of the Gatorade Sports Science Institute®

Many young athletes are convinced that the only way to become a champion is by using anabolic steroids. Coaches and others can begin to counteract the attraction of these drugs by helping educate the athletes about the potential harmful consequences of anabolic steroid use.

Liver Damage

Nearly all of the anabolic steroids taken by mouth cause abnormal liver function. These abnormalities range from the common, but usually harmless, leakage of enzymes from the damaged liver tissue into the blood to rare, but very serious, liver cancer and liver bleeding.

The appearance of liver enzymes in the blood ordinarily ceases when athletes stop using steroids, but liver cancer and bleeding have caused deaths among a few athletes who have abused anabolic steroids.

Risk of Heart Disease

Many athletes who abuse anabolic steroids have high blood pressure (hypertension). They also have decreased amounts of HDL-cholesterol, the so-called "good cholesterol," that helps the body avoid the buildup of fat in the walls of the arteries. Both high blood pressure and low HDL-cholesterol increase the chance of having serious heart disease at a relatively early age.

Sexual & Reproductive Disorders

Many male athletes who take large doses of anabolic steroids have shrunken testicles. They also have such poor sperm production that virtually all of them who have used steroids for six months or more are sterile. Sperm count may not return to normal for seven months or more after discontinuing steroid use.

In many men, steroid abuse leads to a feminizing growth of the nipples that can only be corrected with surgery. In most women, on the other hand, steroid abuse causes shrinkage of the breasts to more masculine proportions.

Other masculinizing effects of anabolic steroid use by females are very common, including the growth of facial hair, thinning of head hair and possible baldness deepening of the voice, irregularity or absence of the menstrual cycle, enlargement of the clitoris, and shrinking of the uterus.

Baldness, growth of facial hair, enlargement of the clitoris, and deepening of the voice usually cannot be reversed, even when steroids are no longer used – these are permanent changes.

Psychological Disorders

Among the more commonly reported psychological effects of steroid abuse are increases or decreases in sex drive, increased aggressive behavior, mood elevation or depression, and "psychological addiction" to the drugs.

More rare are schizophrenia and psychotic behavior patterns. For example, steroid abusers have been known to head-butt the windshields out of cars or to purposely crash their cars into trees.

Even more frightening are claims by several athletes charged with murder that they committed when under a "steroid rage."

Effects on Growth

The long bones of young people – up to 18 years and sometimes older – are still growing. If young athletes abuse anabolic steroids, the growth plates of those bones may close earlier than usual. This diminishes the height they could have reached as adults had they not taken steroids.

Conclusion

Young people should be told that very few athletes are known to have become seriously ill or to have died from steroid abuse and that habits such as smoking tobacco or driving while intoxicated are probably far more deadly. On the other hand, they should also be told that few, if any, steroid abusers escape all of the potential harmful effects of these drugs.

Finally, athletes should be reminded that, as was once the case for tobacco smoking, it is possible that we will not know the full extent of the harmful effects of anabolic steroids for another 20 to 30 years.

Young Athletes: Beware of Specialization

I admit I have always been a hero worshipper. Sandy Koufax, Bob Gibson, Bart Starr, Bob Cousy, Bill Russell, Nancy Lopez, Roger Staubach, Larry Bird and Earl Campbell are just a few of those idolized in my early years as a sports fanatic. Throw in Greg Maddux, Mark McGwire, Emmitt Smith, Dan Marino, Ken Griffey, Jr. and Michael Jordan, and I have developed an impressive list of sports starts.

Following these sports figures through the ups and downs of their careers I have scanned the sports pages each day to chart their progress. I have watched them on the Game of the Week, their performances an important reference in my daily life.

Following the trials and tribulations of these heroes has been heart-wrenching at times. For someone who loved the hustle and talent of Pete Rose, the downside of his gambling conviction weighed heavily. The drinking problems of former Yankee great Mickey Mantle saddened me as it saddened other Americans. Like many, I was disappointed by his problems and devastated by his death.

Through this hero worshipping of sports legends I have learned one thing. These heroes can let me down.

Many sports enthusiasts are doing as I have done. They are following the efforts of high school athletes. yes, these athletes drop the ball from time to time but their efforts should be extolled. There seems to be heightened interest in following high school sports.

So, I have found a new hero. She is a 17-year-old athlete at an area high school. She is a young lady who participates in volleyball, basketball, track, and plays the clarinet in the band. She is also a member of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes while taking a courseload full of challenging classes.

In an age of specialization, her accomplishments are practically unheard of today. Participation in an extracurricular activity is subject to the pressures of specialization. parents, coaches and peers are all guilty of coercing young people into specializing. parents have their eyes on scholarships, peers tug for the allegiance of their friends and coaches vie for additional time with an athlete.

These pressures from home and school lead to the same trials and tribulations professional athletes have endured. This inevitable tug-of-war takes place with any good athlete. The burden to perform at high level is pressure enough without the constant barrage from friends and family to specialize in one activity.

Included in this formula is the non-school guru. This is the summer league coach who feels he knows more about what is best for the young athlete than the school coach or even the parents. This non-educator sells the parents and the athlete a bill of goods promising exposure to college coaches, travel, equipment, etc., forgetting the emotional, social and physical development of the youngster.

These non-school ‘agents’ pressure student-athletes to specialize, telling them to focus on one sport. This, they tell them, eliminates the risk of injury and increases the exposure to college recruiters. Do this and you can make it to the pros, they say.

Parents, coaches and peers are all guilty of coercing young people into specializing. The burden to perform at high level is pressure enough without the constant barrage from friends and family to specialize in one activity.

When the athlete returns to school they may choose to heed this advice when faced with making a decision about their future. Students are not told that only two percent of all high school athletes receive college scholarships. Young people tend to forget the long-term consequences of these decisions. The opportunity to participate in a myriad of high school activities comes along only once. Surrendering this opportunity for a chance to get an athletic scholarship is a gamble many athletes lose.

School administrators and coaches need to be aware of the pressures placed on young athletes. These pressures reach as far as the junior high level where highly skilled young phenoms are already being wooed by college recruiters and summer league agents. Educators must stem the tide by providing excellent programs. Within these programs students must be guided to make quality decisions regarding their high school career as well as their preparation for college.

That is why I admire Kendra Doyle, the aforementioned high school athlete from Pflugerville High School. She epitomizes the efforts of quality decision-making. She, along with her mother and her coaches, has made the proper decisions regarding both her high school and college careers. She has not been swayed by those who would have her specialize.

Kendra has not sacrificed her youth to chase her dreams. She has experienced and embraced high school athletic activities without sacrificing her academic and fine arts education. Kendra has listened to the voice of reason which says high school activities should be fun. Because of this, she has many great memories as she enters her senior year. While being involved in these activities it is important to note that Kendra has not just participated, she has excelled. She has participated in varsity volleyball for two years and varsity track for three. She advanced to regional competition in five events last year. All this while making good grades, being a Christian example to her peers, role model to her younger sister Kaitlin, and a helping hand to her working mother.

Kendra is my hero. She should be yours, too. We should worship her effort rather than the overblown earned run average of some overpaid major league pitcher. We should be envious of her ability to make quality decisions rather than idolizing egotistical professional athletes who can’t seem to ever get it right. We should support her career as she experiences the high ideals that all high school activities promote.

There are Kendra Doyles in every community, fine young people who wish to experience all that high school brings. I urge you to find them and celebrate their accomplishments, encouraging them as well as others to enjoy all activities our schools offer.
