the NCAA is investigating Clarett's
claim that more than $10,000 in
clothing, CDs, cash and stereo
equipment was stolen in April from
a 2001 Chevrolet Monte Carlo that
Clarett had borrowed from a local
dealership. Clarett's attorney, Scott
Schiff, later acknowledges many of
the items belonged to the dealer,
not Clarett, and that Clarett
exaggerated the value of some
items. In a statement, Clarett
apologizes to his teammates and
Ohio State for "any embarrassment
this incident may have caused."
Ohio State says Clarett will be held
out of team activities "until and
unless" his eligibility matters have

Eastside Youth Services and Street
Outreach, non-profit organization,
built East Side Field at Yellow Jacket
Stadium to give the youth of East Austin
a top-quality place to play. ESYSSO
wants to give young people the chance
to escape the destructive influence of
the streets by providing the alternative
of a deluxe playing field on which to
practice and compete.
In the early 70s, the space next to
Anderson High School in East Austin
was the football field for the school. In
the early 80s, the worst thing that
could happen to a neighborhood
unfolded. The high school was closed
and the core of the community fell with
it. Upon returning to Austin, Thomas
Henderson visited the old
neighborhood and discovered that
children were playing in the street and
the young people were dying in the
street. He believed his calling was to
repair a place to play and maybe a
place for some young kid to follow in
his footsteps.






Our Purpose is to provide a
successful athletic facility in the
underserved Austin community and
contribute to activities that share a
similar mission of youth
development through sports and
drug-free health.
Our Goals
To constantly create avenues for the
East Austin community to support its
endeavors through consistent
communication and project success.
To strengthen the community by
teaching it to appreciate the
differences and remember the values
that got us this far as a community,
as family and as people.
To create an atmosphere of health,
physical fitness, community and
competition.
To unite people of different
backgrounds and institutions of all
kinds in a common effort to improve
our communities.

“Even though I was doin' high school and havin‘
these great games -- four and five touchdowns
and 300 yards and things like that -- I had these
people around me sayin,' like, 'You know what?
This is a gift from God. He's given you many gifts,
and one of them is that you play football better
than a lot of people do other stuff.' You know what
I mean?”
"I was like, 'OK. That's cool. I'm supposed to use
this gift.' So that was kind of the driving force. 'OK.
I've got this gift.' That drove me. 'Hey, get better!
You've already got this great gift, now get better!
Learn how to master it.' And that's what I've been
on the chase for ever since."

Today’s young men are following the wrong role
models. Many young men want to look toward their
father as a role model in their life, but a plague
haunting millions of children in the United States is
becoming more and more common in our society:
over 40% of the children in the United States do not
live with their father. Whether it is through divorce,
deadbeat dads, births out of wedlock, or workaholic
fathers, many children do not have a male role model
or mentor as a part of their day to day life.
Mission Statement
The Shaun Alexander Foundation’s mission is to
empower young men through education, athletics,
character programs, and leadership training;
inspiring them to reach their full potential as the
mentors and role models for the next generation.



What is Club 37?
The Club 37 Mentoring Program is a
national program which allows young
men from each state to mentor and
teach other young men who are in
need of direction or a role model in
their life. Soon, thousands of young
men will have mentors in each state,
creating a movement of young men
who have goals, integrity,
accountability, and responsibility;
gradually changing a generation.


a.) Participation: when a student athlete sets foot on the
playing surface, score is being kept officially, there are
officials/ refs during competition, and game counts toward
their official record/ post season play. This burns one season
of play even if it was one play or 10 seconds. Scrimmages do
not count!
b.) Redshirt: refers to someone who is enrolling full-time at a
school but does not play a whole academic year for the
purpose of saving a season. A redshirt does not play in any
college game or in any given sport or an entire academic
year, even though a student is eligible.


c.) Greyshirt: refers to someone who is enrolling part-time at
a school and does not play the first semester for the purpose
of saving a season and do not trigger the Division eligibility
clock. Student athlete can be enrolled full time in the second
semester depending on your season of competition and still
be considered a greyshirt.
EX: Football (FA sport) can be enrolled full-time their second
semester (SP) and have saved a season. Softball (SP sport)
cannot be full time and still considered a greyshirt their
second semester because that is their season of competition.
Basketball (FA and SP sport) must stay part-time both
semesters to be considered a grey-shirt because their season
of competition falls in both semesters.

d.) Medical Redshirt:
refers to a student
athlete who sustained
an injury during
competition before a
specific time period
during the season and
is out for the rest of the
season. The trainer and
doctor must fill out the
appropriate paperwork.

3 Elements of Academic Dishonesty
a.) Cheating- crib notes, copying, unauthorized
collaboration
b.) Fabrication- making up sources for the
bibliography of a paper or faking the
results of a lab assignment
c.) Plagiarism- turning in a paper written by
another person, buying a paper from
a commercial source or failing to attribute
quotations within a paper









- Skills that have been learned and acquired
through athletics that can be used in the classroom
and in everyday life
a.) Leadership
b.) Teamwork
c.) Determination
d.) Perseverance
e.) Strategy
f.) Time management
g.) Goal Setting
g.) Others???


Developing time management skills is a
journey that may begin with this Guide, but
needs practice and other guidance along
the way.
One goal is to help yourself become aware
of how you use your time as one resource in
organizing, prioritizing, and succeeding in
your studies in the context of competing
activities of friends, work, family, etc.





Develop alternative study places free from
distractions to maximize concentration.
Got "dead time"? Think of using time walking,
riding, etc. for studying “bits”.
Review studies and readings just before class or
briefly go over notes from the last class.
Review lecture material immediately after class
(Forgetting is greatest within 24 hours without
review).
Schedule time for critical course events- papers,
presentations, tests, etc.



"To Do" list- Write down things you have to do, then decide
what to do at the moment, what to schedule for later, what to
