As part of the growing Safe Sport topic, our members continue to research and publish their work.
You can find some of our members’ Safe Sport related work below:
“I feel (un)safe when…” What athletes have to say about high performance culture
- In this article, researchers present their findings about Canadian high performance athletes’ perspectives on safe and unsafe sport environments, as well as recommendations for changes
- Athletes identified coach behaviour, teammate or fellow athlete behaviour, lack of resources and an inattentive sport system as key factors contributing to unsafe sporting environments
- Implementing initiatives to target these issues can support the shift to a safer sport environment (for example, requiring coaches to undertake self-awareness and self-regulation training that promotes safe coach behaviour)
