## Resource

Floridas New Law: The Teddy Bridgewater Act - A new law, the Teddy Bridgewater Act, allows coaches to use their own money for student athletes needs, like food and transportation. Coaches can spend up to $15,000 annually, with parental permission and record-keeping. The law aims to support athletes from challenging backgrounds, but questions remain about enforcement and potential misuse. The Florida High School Sports Association and school districts will oversee implementation. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
