Choke!
Escalating conflicts among adolescents too often lead to violence. Choke! dramatizes this
issue, teaching pro-health conflict resolution skills which can de-escalate a situation
that may seem out of control. Danny, a talented soccer player, chokes on a free kick and
his team loses. When resentful teammates make disparaging remarks, Danny and another
player get into an argument, leading to physical threats. Latoya, a member of the girl's
team, explains how to de-escalate the conflict without losing face. Another player takes
Latoya's words to heart and reveals the reason Danny "choked" on the free kick.
The program is a convincing media adjunct to Health, Guidance and Life Skills units on
conflict resolution, teen violence, youth-at-risk, behavioral choices, and decision
making.
