Presentation tonight

Nationally-recognized human performance expert John Underwood will speak at Neenah High School on Wednesday, Sept. 12 at 7 p.m. in an event that is free and open to the public.

Underwood is known for his work with the innovative “Life of an Athlete” program based in Saratoga Springs, N.Y. He has been a crusader for drug-free sport at all levels. Underwood specializes in athlete recovery and helps teach athletes how to peak in training and the impact of mental and physical performance on a lifestyle.

Underwood will speak in the Neenah High School cafeteria for parents and athletes at 7 p.m. He will speak to students at the high school during the school day.

Neenah High School has modeled its code of conduct and its current “Life of a Rocket” program based on Underwood’s research. His talks provide startling research and data in regards to the impact of drugs, alcohol, sleep, nutrition and other factors on athletic performance and brain development.
