Park View High School football players were among more than 400 people in attendance for the Washington Redskins 4th & Life High School Football Forum, held Oct. 12 at FedEx Field in Landover, Md. The forum focused on preparing high school student-athletes for life after football.
The 4th & Life High School Football Forum, emceed by Redskins alumnus Rick "Doc" Walker, focused on preparing high school student-athletes for life after football.
Washington Redskins players Houston Bates, Alfred Morris, Tress Way and Darrel Young touched on a variety of topics such as coping with peer pressure, staying healthy and planning for their academic and athletic futures.
Following a group panel discussion, student-athletes divided into their respective grades to dive deeper into topics relative to their age. The content and program design were created in partnership with Junior Achievement of Greater Washington.
