Description

Every athlete deserves safety, support, and care. Compassionate Coach® supports coaches in prioritizing the holistic well-being of athletes, while fostering environments built on trust and respect. Together, we can reimagine sport as the safe, joyful, and life-changing experience it was always meant to be.

Join The Assist and guest Jean-Paul Richard to explore how to equip coaches to center athlete well-being and create safer, more supportive sport environments by engaging coaches and grassroots sport systems in responsible, athlete-centered practices.

With insights from international safeguarding leaders, this webinar is built for advocates to learn how to engage coaches and local sports systems to be better equipped to recognize concerns, respond appropriately, and connect athletes to safe, trusted reporting pathways.
