2ND QUARTER SCHOOL HIGHLIGHTS AWSUM
NEWS
The risks of supplements As parents or guardians, you know that the pressure to train hard, compete and achieve at a high level can lead athletes to entertain dangerous options. Saids is the Institute for Drug-Free Sport in S.A. AWSUM asked them why we should be concerned about the risks of supplements and they share the facts. The general assumption in school learners is that supplements will improve their performance on the sport field and that it is a ‘quick fix’ to reach your goals. This might be due to the confusing, sometimes dubious, claims on supplement labels. A scary fact is that one of the boys who tested positive for anabolic steroids during the Craven Week Rugby Tournament in 2018, revealed taking 18 different supplements, ranging from protein shakes and ‘mass builders’, to pre-workouts, energy boosters, etc. Why should we be alarmed if the following claims “scientifically tested”, “proven”, “healthy”, “specifically designed for youth”, “superior”, “drug-free” appear on the supplement packaging? It is unethical marketing and outright false claims of efficacy and safety and provides hidden risks that consumers are not always aware of. In fact, researchers from the University of KZN did an analysis of 15 Whey Protein Shakes from the top-selling brands in SA and found that 9 out of the 15 were non-compliant with labelling regulations, and deliberately manipulated and overstated the protein and amino-acid content of the products. Are supplements being tested sufficiently? No. In reality, the majority of supplements on the market have not been sufficiently tested or scrutinised by an independent health authority, such as the SA Health Products Regulatory Authority (SAHPRA). This problem is not unique to South Africa, but is a global concern. What are the dangerous ingredients that were found in supplements? Prescription drugs, banned substances, heavy metals, pesticides, and other dangerous chemicals. In one study, researchers analised the contents of 134 top-selling protein supplements available via the internet - many were found to contain heavy metals such as lead, arsenic, cadmium, mercury, BPA (found in plastic) and other chemicals linked to cancer, liver damage and other ill-health effects3. In a study conducted by the University of Cape Town (UCT), 138 popular Protein Shakes from leading brands available on the SA market were tested for melamine content (found in plastic). The use of melamine in food production is not approved by WHO as it is related to kidney stones and kidney failure. Melamine is sometimes illegally added to food products to increase their ‘apparent’ protein content. The UCT researchers found that 57% of imported and 82% of locally produced protein shakes tested positive for melamine. Though the concentration was below toxic levels per se, there is a risk related to the amount of product the consumer will be taking (dosage), frequency, duration, and/or number of supplements the individual will be taking.
Can these ingredients, that exceed safety limits, cause medical problems or hospitalization? A study report from Harvard Medical School looked at the number of ill-health events reported on the U.S. Food and Drug Administration Adverse Event Reporting System between 2004 to 2015. They found 977 adverse event reports in the 0 – 25 year age group2. Around 40% had severe medical outcomes, including hospitalization and death. Supplements sold for muscle-building, weight loss and energy were associated with almost 3 x the risk for severe medical outcomes compared to vitamins. Can supplements be taken as a supplement to nutritional needs? Advertising such as: “supplements specially designed for youth”, or that “young athletes need supplements to perform / bulk-up”, or “a normal diet is not enough” is concerning. These claims have no scientific grounds and contradicts evidence-based consensus on the value of “food first” for youth as best support for optimal health, growth and development and sporting performance (over the short- and long-term). Particularly in youth, a dietary supplement should only be considered (for as short duration as possible) to correct a clinically diagnosed dietary deficiency and taken under appropriate health professional guidance e.g. Registered Dietitian, who can address and optimise dietary intake as the main focus. A Dietitian can also help do a risk vs. benefit analysis and help identify low-risk products, if needed. Parents should note that SAIDS supports the views of leading health and sport authorities from around the world (including the IOC) that deems it inappropriate and unethical for active and competitive adolescent athletes to be encouraged to consume dietary supplements for performance-enhancement.

Bring jou tekkies en bring jou tokse Skenk ou tekkies of toks aan leerders wie se ouers dit nie finansieel kan bekostig nie. Skole en instansies kan betrokke raak deur te help met die insameling van die sportskoene. Die skopafrigter Vlok Cilliers en die Springbok-losskakel Morné Steyn het hul kragte saamgesnoer om `n verskil in die lewe van jong mense met sporttalent te maak. Cilliers het in 2020 die Tekkies-en-Toks-projek, in samewerking met Solidariteit Helpende Hand, begin om behoeftige kinders te help wat nie rugbystewels of tekkies kan bekostig nie. AWSUM is trots om van 2022 ook as mediavennoot by die projek betrokke te kan wees.
Hoe raak ons skool betrokke en skenk ek as ouer skoene? 1. 2. 3.
Indien jou skool wil betrokke raak, kontak gerus vir Annelize by annelize@helpendehand.co.za Ouers en leerders kan betrokke raak en enige ou of nuwe sportskoene skenk of deur `n geldelike bydra te maak. Die projek is nie net gemik op seuns wat aan rugby deelneem nie, maar op alle kinders en vir enige sportsoort. Daar is twee afleweringspunte: • •
4. 5.
Leerders of ouers bring tweedehandse/nuwe sportskoene (ons versoek wel dat dit in ‘n bruikbare toestand moet wees) na hul skool en plaas dit in die Tekkies en Toks boks by die skool Ouers kan ook die skoene by hulle naaste Helpende Hand Ons Winkel-tak aflaai
Sodra die bokse vol is kontak die skool Helpende Hand wat die bokse leegmaak vir verdere insameling Helpende Hand is verantwoordelik vir die allokering en verspreiding na geskikte kandidate.

Ons gesels met Duane Vermeulen Duane Vermeulen is as Suid-Afrika se rugbyspeler van die jaar aangewys. Vermeulen is ook as die Superrugby- en Unlocked-speler van die jaar vereer. AWSUM het met hom gesels oor sy skooldae en hy deel sy raad aan leerders van vandag. Ons moet begin deur te vra oor jou skoolloopbaan. Wat sal jy altyd van jou skooldae onthou? Ek het `n ongelooflike tyd in HS Nelspruit gehad, regdeur van st 6 tot in matriek. Ek kon nie vir `n beter tyd gevra het nie. Ons het regtig goeie onderwysers gehad en almal het regtig `n verskil in my lewe gemaak en ek glo ook in ander skoliere se lewe. Op die sportveld het ek dit baie geniet. Ek het ups and downs gehad, moelike tye, pa-en-seun aande wat moeilik was, want my ma kon nie saam gaan nie, so ek het saam met `n pel se pa gegaan, maar ek dink dit het ook van `n mens die man gemaak wat jy vandag is. Met deursettingsvermoë en harde werk het dinge great uitgedraai. Wat sal onderwysers van jou vertel? Watter tipe ou was jy op skool? (Duane lag). Man, ek dink dis `n moeilike een. Ek was `n besige mannetjie op skool, maar ook somtyds baie stil. Ek het `n paar great onderwysers gehad met wie ek `n goeie pad gestap het. Mnr Jos van Dyk, Sarel Cilliers, mnr Meyer (wat Aardrykskunde gegee het) en ek het ook my Hotelbestuur - onderwyser, mnr Els, baie geniet. Hulle het my baie opdraende gegee. Ek moes `n paar keer buite die klas gesit het, so ek dink hulle sou sê ek was baie besig, maar het ook maklik in iemand se hart ingeklim. Watter tipe ou was ek? Ek het baie van my sport gehou. Ek het by my standpunte gestaan. Dis seker maar daarom dat ek die onderwysers opdraend gegee het. Ek het baie goeie vriende op skool gehad – van st 6 tot matriek toe. `n Lekker groep ouens en meisies. Almal het mekaar aangevul op hulle swakpunte en ook mekaar ondersteun in hulle sterkpunte. Wat sal jy altyd van sportgeleenthede op skool onthou? Is daar enige hoogtepunte? Daar is baie! Eerstens was daar die Mpumalanga - finaal wat ons gespeel het. Ons het die finaal teen HTS Middelburg of Ermelo (dink ek) gewen en dieselfde aand het ons matriekafskeid gehad, so dit was chaos om terug te kom. Die grootste hoogtepunt was `n ongelooflike 2004 Cravenweek in my matriekjaar wat by NHS aangebied is. Ek kon Nelspruit verteenwoordig en kon vir almal wys waarvoor skool staan en wat ons skool kan bied. Jy het in Nelspruit grootgeword. Wat maak die area en sy mense so uniek? Ek is in Nelspruit gebore en het toe vir agt jaar in die Kaap gebly, maar na my pa oorlede is, is ons weer terug na my ma se ouers en het weer in Nelspruit gaan bly. Ek was lanklaas in Nelspruit, maar ek het nog steeds goeie pelle daar en my ma en grootouers bly nogsteeds daar. Ek moet sê, dis `n spesiale plek en `n dorp wat na aan my hart lê. Wat inspireer jou in die lewe? As jy `n verskil in iemand anders se lewe kan maak op die manier hoe jy jou werk en jou passie uitleef, hoë standaarde en dissipline volg en ander dit raaksien, is dit die mees inspirerende ding wat daar is. Die lekkerste ding op aarde om te hoor, is as mense daar buite is sê jy het `n verskil in hulle lewe gemaak. My familie inspireer my ook. Ek doen alles vir my vrou en my twee seuntjies. Dit is is met tye moeilik. Ons is baie weg en ver van mekaar af, maar ek wil graag my twee laaities wys dat hulle pappa `n verskil in mense se lewe gemaak het en ook `n verskil in hulle lewe maak, sodat hulle ook eendag kan sê my hero is my pappa, soos my pa my hero in my lewe was - en nog steeds is. Wat is die belangrikste lewensles wat jou skool vir jou geleer het? Ek dink die grootste lewensles is nederigheid en dissipline saam met harde werk. Ons skool se leuse is “Palmam Qui Meruit Ferat”. Dit beteken laat hom wat dit verdien, die palmtak dra. Ons skool het vir ons `n ongelooflike platform gebied om jouself uit te leef en te wys wie jy is, om jou talente te erken en daarop te bou.
Wat sou jy sê vat dit van `n speler om die hoogste vlak van `n sportsoort te bereik en daar te bly? Ek dink die groot ding is deursettingsvermoë en om nooit op te hou nie. Ons het so `n ding by die Bokke: jy moet eers `n warrior wees voor enige iets anders kan saamkom en ek dink dis daai passie vir dit wat jy doen en dan van daar af net daarop te bou. Dit maak nie saak of mense deure voor jou toemaak nie, jy gaan op jou manier daai deur weer oopmaak, of oopslaan of oopskop. Stel vir jou doelwitte en werk van daar af hard. Jy moet ook kennis in jou veld hê n nie altyd dink jy weet alles nie. Met elke geleentheid wat daar is, leer jy iets nuuts – of dit is van `n coach, van `n speler, of van `n wedstryd self. If youre not winning, you’re learning. As jy nie `n rugbyspeler was nie, watter sport sou jy wou beoefen? Daar is twee. Ek sou regtig graag atletiek wou doen. Ek het spiesgooi geniet of ek het altyd gedink om NFL te gaan speel. Net om myself te toets en te kyk. Ek weet nie of ek rêrig goed daarin sou wees nie, maar sou dit graag `n go wou gegee het. As jy nie in jou posisie gespeel het nie, in watter ander posisie sou jy graag wou speel? Ek sou graag in die agterlyn wou speel, maar is ongelukkig nie vinnig genoeg nie. Ek dink vir my om deel van `n spansport te wees, is seker die lekkerste. Om tyd saam met pelle, wat dieselfde passie as jy het, te spandeer en saam dieselfde doel wil bereik.
“Dit maak nie saak wat jy doen nie, maar as jy glo dis die beste vir jou, of dit vir jou sport of jou familie of wat ook al jy doen is, 60% van mense gaan altyd hou van dit wat jy doen en 40% gaan teen jou wees”. Wat is die beste raad wat jy al ooit ontvang het en wat jy vandag met die eerders wil deel? In 2015 het ons `n sielkundige by die Bokke gehad, met die naam Pieter Kruger, en hy het breinprofieltoetse met elke speler gedoen en gesit en met elke speler gesels. Die les wat hy daai dag vir my geleer het is op `n 60/40 weegskaal gebasseer – dit maak nie saak wat jy doen nie, maar as jy glo dis die beste vir jou, of dit vir jou sport of jou familie of wat ook al jy doen is, 60% van mense gaan altyd hou van dit wat jy doen en 40% gaan teen jou wees. Toe ek jonger was, het ek altyd daai 40% probeer omdraai, maar ek het vrede daarmee gemaak en geglo dat 60% is wat mens nodig het. As jy gelukkig daarmee is, sal mense jou ondersteun, maak nie saak wie wat sê nie. Jy moet net 100% vasstaan in die besluit wat jy geneem het en alles gee. Ek basseer tans my lewe op die 60/40 weegskaal en glo dit het `n ongelooflike groot verskil in my lewe gemaak en hoop dit maak `n verskil in die Nellieleerders se lewe.
