Quick look at LSU's Red Zone Issues vs Kentucky...

When @realcoachliv and I presented at the @NCPGambling Annual Conference in Nashville recently, it was not “just another speech.” 🎤 We’ve both given talks, delivered speeches, and run workshops individually for years, bringing our own unique perspectives to issues we care about. But this was the first time we worked together to develop a new curriculum and co-presented it as a “duet.” After 15+ years together, it’s unusual for us to experience “firsts,” but seriously, this felt like a new level was unlocked. Not only did we present "How to Scale Youth Gambling Prevention Through Train-the-Trainer Workshops“ to a standing-room-only crowd, but we also felt hugely energized by the result, and can’t wait to do more double-acts. At the heart of the workshop was a simple idea: Mere words don’t move us. Gambling harm reduction strategies and messaging only work if they actually influence the actions of the people they are intended for. We shared four communication frameworks that trainers can adapt for different audiences: - Lived Experience - Seatbelt Strategy - Sports Concepts - Inoculation Approach We also explored how technology, interactivity, localization, and understanding your audience can make prevention education more practical, memorable, and relevant. Thank you to everyone who joined us, challenged our thinking, shared their own experiences, and brought such great energy to the room. We hope and trust you will take what we shared into your communities, where real change happens. #NCPG #ResponsibleGaming #TrainTheTrainer #CommunityEducation #PlayWithAPlan

"Every player is a level below where they think they are and two levels below where their parents think they are...there's just not enough scholarships to go around" Bucky McMillan gives candid thoughts on modern recruiting through his lens as a former HS coach @kbtxsports

Supporting someone with a gambling problem can feel overwhelming, isolating… and invisible. That’s why I wrote ASSIST. It’s for the people trying to help — without losing themselves. Out now. If someone came to mind, send this to them. Link 👇 lnk.bio/anitaosmith #ResponsibleGaming #GamblingHarmPrevention #PGAM
