The NFEC The Talk PSA Campaign Provides Complimentary Financial Education Conversation Guide for Families


Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) April 27, 2012

The next generation of youth will face significant challenges if they fail to acquire practical financial education skills prior to moving out on their own. To address the growing need for personal finance training the National Financial Educators Council provides a complimentary guide for parents who want to teach children about money Family Money Talks. This guide was launched with the NFEC The Talk Financial Literacy PSA.

The Talk Financial Literacy PSA raises the awareness about the importance of having the talk with kids about money. This campaign uses visually disturbing photos of children and teens taken unwise risks and relating that to the consequences of sending a financially illiteracy child out into the real world. The PSA was designed to raise awareness, while the Family Money Talks guide provides them the information they need to take action on their new-found motivation and teach kids about money.

Once parents get the connection between their kids doing drugs, drinking and driving, crossing the street without looking and taking unnecessary risks to financial illiteracy they are motivated to teach kids about money. Many have reported to us that they didnt know the consequences of financial problems spill over into their daily life relationships, health and event enjoyment of life, states Cecile Abad of the NFEC.

The Family Money Talks guide gives parents 10 guided conversations to have with their children. It provides step-by-step details for parents so they gain the confidence in talking with their children about money. One of the tips is to set family financial goals and one of the ways the NFEC suggest setting family goals is with the reducing expenses game. Sit down with your child and pull out the gas or electric bill over the past three months; see what the bills average. Then set an attainable goal to reduce that by an agreed-upon amount. Creating an action plan together and deciding on a reward the entire family can enjoy together when the goal is accomplished.

One family decided to reduce their electric bill by $ 30 over the next two months. Their plan was to get more efficient light bulbs and be sure when they left the room to shut off anything they were not using. They decided on a reward of having a family pizza and movie night. The parent noted, my kids did a better job than I did remembering to shut off lights, and they often yelled at me in a fun way when I forgot. We did reach the goal and had a great time celebrating our victory together. It brought our family closer and was a great way to teach children about money.

The NFECs objective is to educate people on personal financial matters as they raise awareness about the financial literacy movement. The National Financial Educators Council is a social enterprise organization that leads the financial literacy industry in raising awareness. The NFEC partners with celebrities, sport stars, influencers and the media to take the movement mainstream. The Talk financial literacy PSA campaign is designed to expand the NFECs international influence encourages families to have the talk.

Kicking Coach Michael Husted and Punting Coach Craig Hentrich Announce Their College Prep Kicking Camp for High School Kicking Specialists


San Diego, CA (PRWEB) March 25, 2012

Retired nine year NFL kicker Michael Husted and retired seventeen year NFL punter Craig Hentrich have scheduled their College Prep Kicking Camp in Nashville, TN for June 23-24, 2012. The goal for the College Prep Camp is to help high school kickers prepare for both college sports and life after college.

Husted, who played for the University of Virginia, says he knows first-hand the value of playing sports in college.

Playing in the NFL is a privilege that only a few people get to enjoy, says Michel Husted, who played in the NFL for 9 years. But regardless how few kicking specialists become pro football players, I believe that playing football in college provides student athletes with a great opportunity to leverage their sport to get a great college education.”

Husted says playing sports in college and perusing an athletic scholarship goes far beyond just the cost of attending college. He says it also gives athletes skills that will help them for the rest of their life.”

The intangibles that a young athlete receives from playing college football while earning a degree will surely set a solid foundation for the rest of their life, says Husted. Whether that is a career in the NFL or in another profession like a doctor, lawyer, executive or teacher. Playing sports in college helps an athlete get ready to take on any challenge in life.

Husted says the College Prep Kicking Camp will focus on college topics such as Time Management; Student-athlete Resources; Class Scheduling: and the Greek System for college preparation. He says athletic preparation topics include Field Goals; Kick Offs and Punting; Holding; Strength and Conditioning and Mental Fitness.

Husted created a new website for the College Prep Camp at http://www.collegeprepkickingcamp.com that has all College Prep Camp event information and the ability to register for the event.

ABOUT MICHAEL HUSTED: Michael is a retired 9 Year NFL kicker. Michaels consistency on field goals and power on kick offs won him the job as an undrafted rookie. Michael went on to have a successful rookie season where he was named to Football Digests All Rookie team.

During his time with the Tampa Bay Bucs, Michael established several records including all-time leading scorer (502 pts.); longest field goal (57 yards); most 50+ field goals (10). Michael attended the University of Virginia. During his time with the Cavaliers, he was the kick off specialist during his freshman and sophomore seasons. He then handled all kicking duties his junior and senior seasons.

During his senior campaign, he connected on 13-16 field goals and was named a Lou Groza semi-finalist. Michael also had a total of 95 touchbacks during his college career, the most in UVA history.

ABOUT CRAIG HENTRICH: During the course of his career, Hentrich played in 241 games, tied for fifth in NFL history among punters. His 1,150 career punts are tied for seventh place in NFL history.

One of the leagues top specialists in terms of ball placement, his career 36.8-yard net average ranks 10th in the NFL in the 33 seasons the statistic has been tracked. Likewise, his total of 34.7 percent of punts placed inside the 20 yard line ranks second all-time in league history.He earned two Pro Bowl honors, played in three Super Bowls including one Championship, and his teams reached the playoffs in 10 of his 16 playing seasons.
