"Abusive and inappropriate coaching behaviours do not happen in a vacuum! They are supported by the environment around them. How can we change this?"
Cases of abusive or inappropriate coaching behaviours continue to happen around the world. Why? How are these coaches given access to athletes and permitted to cause harm, often within an environment that “accepts” or “supports” that coach? How can our sporting communities (from federation action to parental mindsets) create environments where such coaches cannot take root?

"Your training / club culture will either work for you or against you! How to understand and choose the culture that will work for you."
