We want to connect the good feelings and strengthening of health as the results of sport activities by organizing athletic activities and obliterate the need for artificial experience created by drugs. We want to give children a chance to identify with professional athletes as their role models, for example Zuzana Žirková – captain of the Slovak national women basketball team, Richard Štochl – the best handball player and the captian of the national team.

Anti-drug prevention not specified teaches how to manage stress, assertive behavior and self-regard. In the last 5 years this kind of prevention is the most efficient and popular among youth. If this kind of prevention has the right timing, it will have a better effect. That is why our project uses the strategy of athletic activity as the means of prevention.
