Former N
on woes
By JEFF SHREWSBURY
Assistant snorts nrfitnr
The giant ring on Carl Ellcr's
finger represents the good things
from his professional football
career: four Super Bowl appearances,
five all-pro selections
and six Pro-Bowl game appearances.
Eller also holds some
very bad memories of that period
of his life.
A former Minnesota Viking
defensive end, Eller became addicted
to drugs and alcohol, and
that addiction caused him to lose
ins carecr, his health, his family,
friends and almost his life.
Now a recovering addict and a
consultant to the National Football
League on alcohol and drug
abuse, Eller tours the country lecturing
at colleges, high schools
and industries, relating his experiences
and offering advice on
how to help those who have
chemical dependencies.
Eller said addiction in sports is
a continuing process which usually
starts in high school with
alcohol and escalates to the professional
level with cocaine or
heroin.
"Seldom do we find anyone
who started with cocaine as the

with alcohol abuse, and then as
their tolerance builds up, they
move on to stronger drugs like
marijuana and eventually
cocaine.
"But what we're finding now is
that because of the increasing
availability of drugs to younger
people, the first drug they could
come in contact with could be
cocaine."
Filer founded Chemical
Dependency Awareness and
Training programs for the NFL
and its 28 teams. He said now
basically all the teams have some
sort of drug counseling and abuse
program.
Although he said the problems
usually start before college, he
thinks drugs in college sports are
becoming a big problem.
"One thing that has happened
in college is that most universities
have no understanding of the
athlete, and primarily the people
on the academic side have very
little interest in the athletes except
whether or not they fill the
stadiums or have a winning program,"
he said.
"The athlete becomes a comf

modity that is expendable, and
therefore the individual suffers.
And the athlete is very often forced
to make a choice between their
own education and their potential
for a career in sports. That's a
tremendous conflict for a person
and one that almost 100 percent
of colleges have not dealt with
yet."
Ellcr speaks in his lecture,
which he calls "the fifth Super
Bowl," about the importance of
placing sports in the proper
perspective with academics in
high school and college. He said
he thinks too much emphasis is
placed on winning and not
enough on balance between the
two.
"I can see the motivation to
become an athlete, with all the
priority that society gives to
sports, but I think they should
make that pursuit a realistic
one."
He said athletes need to get an
education while they are in high
school and college so that they
will have a career to fall back on
when their playing days arc over.
And the onlv wav thev can do
that is to keep sports in perspective
and balance in their lives.
