"It's good to have a lifeguard, but it's better to know how to swim." - Sam RosenbergAbout this Event
Statistically, college is one of the most dangerous times in a young woman's life.
No one wants to be a victim. But far too many college students end up becoming just that.
- 1 in 4 college women will be sexually assaulted on campus
- 65% of attacks go unreported
- 75% of the time alcohol or drugs are involved
- 80% of rape victims suffer chronic physical or psychological problems over time
These statistics should shock you...they do me...but it doesn’t have to be this way.
With Live Ready® training, your young adults will develop the knowledge and skills needed to:
- Avoid becoming a target;
- Protect themselves, if needed; and
- Fundamentally set personal boundaries (and enjoy their college years with confidence).
Their safety and your peace of mind are worth it.
COURSE HIGHLIGHTS
Personal security is a fundamental human need, but ultimately an individual responsibility. In the moment of truth, the “lifeguards” of society simply won’t be there to protect us. We are, in effect, on our own.
Yet violence is never random, and even the most desperate predator is careful in selecting his prey. All “Bad Guys” — from the street predator to those who use charm and persuasion to create opportunities to victimize — follow predictable patterns. You can identify their behavior in advance through a few easily spotted indicators — but only if you know what to look for.
This course will teach your teens specifically what to look for, and how to manage their own personal security - anywhere, anytime.
- How to recognize warning indicators of danger, especially if you are being targeted by a "persuasion predator"
- How to recognize and manage “interviews” that often precede an attack
- What situational factors are critical to control, and how to never relinquish control over them
- How to use improvised weapons such as pens, magazines, and cell phones as powerful force-multipliers to incapacitate an aggressor from close range
- Defense against the most common grabs, holds, and chokes including how to get someone off you, instantly, who's pinning you to the ground
All Participants will receive a signed copy of Sam Rosenberg's book Live Ready as a takeaway

What people are saying about this course
"Even though our daughter was a recruited rower, we still worried about her safety on an urban campus almost 1,000 miles away from home. Her sessions with Live Ready® equipped her with the knowledge to head off to college with confidence. She's already reported several situations where your training really made a difference."
-Roger M.
"I recently enrolled my 15 year old daughter and myself in a Live Ready program so that she could be introduced to some basic techniques in personal defense. The training was fantastic! After our brief introduction, I was so impressed that I enrolled my daughter and myself for more training.
Sam is an excellent instructor with a comprehensive understanding of human physiology and techniques that really work. What makes Live Ready unique is how the information is packaged and communicated so that anyone can absorb and retain what they learn. I have seen a my daughter's confidence improve after just a single session and we both really look forward to going to more training.
Live Ready works!"
-Julie H.
"During the fall, Sam Rosenberg presented a program at Hampton Middle School. This evening included workshops for all of the middle school students concerning healthy behaviors and good citizenship. Sam introduced self defense strategies to approximately one hundred and twenty middle school girls. The girls loved the program and many were talking about it the next school day. Also, there were many accolades from our faculty, parents and community about the program that was offered that evening to our middle school girls. Thanks Sam Rosenberg!!!"
