Your body is your greatest asset and how you treat it matters. Whether you're training, competing, or recovering, alcohol and substance use can have a direct impact on your strength, speed, focus, and overall performance.
Here's what every Chico State athlete should know:
Delayed Recovery: Alcohol and certain substances slow down muscle recovery and impair your body's ability to rebuild after training.
Reduced Endurance & Performance: Even small amounts can affect coordination, reaction time, hydration, and cardiovascular performance.
Mental Game Matters: Focus, decision-making, and emotional regulation are key to your game > substances can interfere with all three.
Higher Injury Risk: Alcohol use increases the likelihood of injury and prolongs healing time.
NCAA Drug Testing Violations: Know what's on the banned substance list > accidental use still counts.
Sleep Disruption: Substances like alcohol and cannabis disrupt quality sleep, a critical part of your recovery cycle.
Long-Term Goals: Your scholarship, eligibility, and athletic future matter > prioritize your body and your path.
Be informed. Compete smart. Stay Healthy!

PASSAGES CAREGIVER RESOURCE CENTER
Passages Caregiver Resource Center provides support to family caregivers in order to ease the physical and emotional challenges of caregiving.
https://www.passagescenter.org/caregivers/
Who is a Caregiver?
The term caregiver refers to anyone who provides physical, emotional, financial, or logistical support to a loved one with a disabling condition. While many people in this situation do not identify with the term "caregiver," it is important for them to know about the resources available to support them as they care for their loved one. Some examples of caregivers include: a person caring for a spouse who has suffered a stroke; someone caring for a relative who has Parkinson's disease; a grandchild providing assistance to a grandfather with Alzheimer's disease; or a parent caring for a son with a traumatic brain injury.
If you help with any of the following tasks: Preparing meals, bathing and getting dressed, grocery shopping, cleaning the house, managing medications, arranging for services, paying household bills, getting in and out of bed, getting to doctor visits, then…YOU ARE A CAREGIVER!
The most valuable support a family caregiver can receive is from a peer — someone who has been through what they are going through and can truly understand what it is like to care for a loved one. Family caregiver support groups meet once a month and are facilitated by trained staff. Caregivers learn strategies and skills to solve problems; maintain their own personal, physical and emotional health; and to provide the best care they can for those who are dependent upon them. Support Groups provide a supportive atmosphere to share experiences and ideas as a way to ease the stress of caregiving.
This is a recurring event that occurs monthly from 12PM-1PM. Please check further announcements for day and location of future events.
Please contact Jessica Melchor for further information about the program at jmelchor@csuchico.edu or call the mainline at 530-898-4656.
