Most of us learn, from a fairly young age, that drugs are bad for us. Indeed, its pretty much impossible to go through junior or senior high school these days without being told, over and over, that illegal narcotics are deadly dangerous. And if the school assemblies dont get you, the after-school specials sure will! The anti-drug message is a common one, and a noble one; its good that our kids are exposed to this message so much, and so young. With that said, however, its probably fair to suggest that, once we reach a certain age, we realize that the world is a little more complicated than the school assemblies and well-intentioned TV programs would suggest. This is especially true for athletes. If youre an athleteespecially on a professional levelthen you no doubt know that, sometimes, it feels as though there is simply no choice but to partake in narcotics.

But of course, there is always a choice, even if its a difficult one. Thats a message that Ryan Tewis really believes in. Ryan Tewis is not known, primarily, as an anti-drug advocate; no, he is mostly known as an online business professional and in-demand consultant. He speaks about business at seminars and lectures across the country, and manages some of the most profitable brands on the web. But Ryan Tewis true passion is for activismand he is especially zealous about campaigning against the abuse of drugs in professional athletics.

Thats why Ryan Tewis is a proud partner with a group called Muscle Against Drugs. What this outfit does is probably evident just from the name. They aggressively work to raise awareness about the hazards of abusing steroids and performance-enhancing drugsproblems that really scourge pro athletics. But the organization does much more than just preach against drugs. It also offers medical supportreal solutions!to athletes seeking to break the cycle of addiction.

Ryan Tewis is an activist on behalf of numerous other organizations, and takes all of them seriously, but he is especially zealous about this oneand why wouldnt he be? The common thinking is that, because they are rich and famous, pro athletes do not need our help, but in fact they are human beings just like the rest of us, capable of mistakes and deserving of compassion. Ryan Tewis is there to provide that compassion, and he is passionate about encouraging others to do the same.
