Abstract

This toolkit will help you recognize, prevent, and respond to emotional and physical abuse and misconduct in your sport activities and environments. It includes three primary sections: • The Recognize section introduces five major types of emotional and physical abuse and misconduct. You will learn how to identify them in your sport settings, and how to recognize when common behaviors escalate into misconduct. • The Prevent section outlines preventing emotional and physical abuse and misconduct in your sport. You will learn about trauma-sensitive coaching, creating positive team environments, and stopping problematic behaviors from becoming abuse and misconduct. • As much as we wish to, we cannot prevent all instances of abuse and misconduct. The Respond section guides you on responding to athletes who disclose abuse or misconduct to you, recognizing and addressing Retaliation, and appropriately reporting abuse and misconduct.
