E4A at the Kiln Building giving a TED Talk like keynote address. This speaker is E4A Founder Dustin Smith speaking about the forgotten astronaut Michael Collins. was part of the three-member crew on Apollo 11, the first lunar landing mission in 1969. Unlike Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin, he never walked on the moon. Collins stayed behind and piloted the command module as it circled above. Because of that, Collins is often called the "forgotten astronaut."

Dustin relates how even though he didn't walk on the moon he was there for his fellow astronauts as we need to be for our fellow team mates in sports.

Youth suicide rates in Utah are increasing – that’s according to an investigation conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Utah Department of Health.

The report states 150 Utah youth died by suicide from 2011-2015. That’s a 141% increase in suicide rate among 10-17 year olds compared to the national rate of 23.5%.

One youth organization is trying to change that.

Good Day Utah Weekend Edition interviewed two representatives from Especially For Athletes, an organization training youth athletes to be more involved in their schools as a positive influence to other kids.

"Athletes are a tremendous influence for good or for bad at most schools," said Kristen Larsen, a supervisor for Especially For Athletes.

Especially For Athletes provides training at each school for the athletes and encourages them to commit to being more aware of those around them and to reach out to those who are struggling.
