"Jim possesses an extraordinary ability to work with young people in drug education programs with an uncanny ability to teachstudents in a manner they understand and accept! Wherever he brings his message of knowledge, hope, and 'I CAN make a difference', students and parents alike are motivated to be participants in life rather than just observers!"

Roxana Community School District
"Jim Dedera is one of the most powerful speakers and inspirational individuals that I have been associated with during my years in the coaching profession. His message to young people concerning life's choices, goal setting, and individual accountability has made a difference in the lives of our student athletes. His no-nonsense approach, powerful oratory, and genuine interest in your people enable him to reach students at their own level. His message to young people about living a drug and alcohol free lifestyle is without peer. Jim is a very special person who has significantly added to, not only the quality of our football program, but to the quality of life for all our players. He is truly an inspiration to us all."
