On Sunday June 29, 2008 the National Football League kicked off it’s 12th Annual Rookie Symposium right here in Carlsbad. That means that 252 new NFL players are in Carlsbadistan for four days to learn everything they can about what it means to be a professional football player.
On Monday the players will hear presentations on substance abuse (particularly steroid policy and awareness) and financial advice. Tuesday, the focus is a youth football clinic and player conduct. The symposium concludes Wednesday with a sex education guide (particularly an HIV overview) and life skills emphasis.
Sounds like helpful info. Hopefully, some of our kind Carlsbadistan manners will rub off on them. The conference ends tomorrow (July 2, 2008)
