PRESS RELEASE

HIGH IMPACT TEENS AND THE JERSEY EFFECT ARE BRINGING THE POWER OF THE NFL TO PROMOTE POSITIVE PEER PRESSURE AND REACH OUR LOCAL YOUTH

12 YEAR NFL VETERAN AND SUPER BOWL CHAMPION HUNTER SMITH ALONG WITH DARRIN GRAY OF ALL PRO DAD TO KICK OFF RHEA COUNTY AND ROANE COUNTY SCHOOL YEARA local youth outreach called High Impact Teens, founded by Ken Turner has helped bring strategic partnerships together to reach our local youth. Ken relocated High Impact Teens to the area from Indianapolis, Indiana and will be kicking off the fall school year (no pun intended) with a veteran NFL Colts punter, Hunter Smith along with Darrin Gray of All Pro Dad. The timing couldn’t be better to boost the youth in our community toward being strong in character, integrity and positive role models among their own peers. Hunter Smith, Darrin Gray, Stephen Copeland (of Sports Spectrum Magazine) and Ken Turner invested over 18 months together writing a new book that was just released in June called The Jersey Effect. The message of the book is a powerful challenge about Hunter Smith and ten members of the Indianapolis Colts Super Bowl XLI Championship winning team. Each one chosen to be a part of the book were selected based on their personal commitment to wear their “jersey” with the goal of having a positive “effect” on everyone around them, including teammates, coaches and fans. The message is resonating well with readers since the first printing of the book has almost sold out since its release on June 1. A second printing is in place now to keep the momentum of the message going. With a foreword by former head coach of the Colts, Tony Dungy and chapters based on high character individuals within the Colts Super Bowl Championship team such as Jeff Saturday, Tarik Glenn, Ben Utecht and others, the authors are seeking to ignite a movement among today’s youth to stand up and be different.
