What does SAWB mean in STUDENTS

What We Do

SAWB focuses on providing students with resources that enable them to develop appropriate physical activity, good nutrition, injury prevention, safe sports skills practice, coach-athlete communication and effective leadership skills. We offer educational workshops that tackle topics ranging from developing healthy eating habits to basic storyboarding techniques — all designed to help students stay on track with their personal development goals. Additionally, we provide students with access to qualified coaches who can provide guidance when it comes to choosing the right activities and following proper technique. Lastly, SAWB strives to create a safe space free from judgment where student athletes can come together as a team and support each other's efforts towards maintaining an active lifestyle.

Why It Matters

The health benefits associated with participating in physical activities are plentiful — increased muscle strength, improved circulation, enhanced coordination and agility, lowered cholesterol levels and improved moods are just some of the many benefits associated with exercise. Furthermore, being physically active helps young people build self-confidence while also improving their overall academic performance by helping them stay focused in class or better manage their time during homework assignments. Nutrition plays an important role in any fitness regimen — by providing students with nutritional education through SAWB's programs we can ensure they get the most out of every workout session while still obtaining their recommended daily intake of essential nutrients. Finally, Mental Health is just as important as physical health when it comes to overall wellness; SAWB strives to equip our participants with tools they need in order to appropriately recognize the signs of mental distress in themselves or those around them so they can seek help if needed.
