Dear friends of sport,

Athletes are our world’s most popular heroes, admired and often emulated by those who watch them.  But, in recent years, the behavior of an increasingly larger number of athletes has damaged the image of sport and is negatively impacting the values and actions of coaches, parents, fans, and young people who view extraordinary athletes as their role models.

Recognizing the need to address this problem, the staff and members of Athletes for a Better World (ABW) are committed to the mission of changing the culture of sport by reaffirming the development of individual character, teamwork, and civic responsibility through commitment to a concrete athletic Code for Living formed by a set of values that will provide a foundation for life outside of sport. 

ABW is FREE to join.  Its programs are supported entirely by those who seek to make this a better world by caring about the character of those who compete and the integrity of sport itself.  We invite you to join us today!

Cordially yours,

Frederick B. Northup
President
