Sports Illustrated writer Alex Wolff was a keynote speaker at the event, which also included comments from Steer Executive Director and Co-Founder Michael Eck and Steer Coordinator Byron Womack.

The Steer program, in collaboration with Alex Wolff, hopes to inspire and educate many on the pressing problem in the school systems today. Alex Wolff’s 2011 SI article “Sports Saves the World,” has served as the inspiration for, and motive behind, the Steer For Student Athletes concept.
