Our Prospects Boys were challenged to do a good deed over the holiday season. The boys jumped on the opportunity to serve their community and neighbors. While many shovelled driveways, others helped an elderly woman get through the wind to the safety of her vehicle, did home renovations and cleaning, brought baked goods to unexpecting neighbors, and one family collected an impressive 360lbs of food for our local food bank. Great work boys, we are so proud of you! We rise by ...lifting others. - Robert Ingersoll #ASTRAfamily #ASTRAbecause #personfirstathletesecond

Knowledge is power. Injuries are a leading cause in athlete mental health concerns. When you consider the potential for an injury to end a sport career, it becomes more clear as to the seriousness of being diligent during recovery and rehabilitation. Ensure your teammate, friend, athlete, family member, son, or daughter is connected and with purpose through it.... #ASTRAfamily #ASTRAbecause
