Feeling safe in sport isn’t optional… It’s your right.

🤔 Question

Why do you need to know about safeguarding? You’ve never had a problem, so why does it matter?

🔥 Answer

Because knowing what’s right and wrong in sport helps you spot warning signs and call out unacceptable behaviour, keeping you and others safe.

It’s a sad fact that abuse can happen in sport. It’s easy to assume “that kind of thing won’t happen to me.” But would you recognise the less obvious forms if they happened to you?

Joe, the founder of The Athlete Place, and others in his training group were subjected to abuse. They were in their 20s and part of a university high-performance training group, yet even they missed the warning signs. This module is essential reading for everyone.
