What every athlete should know (Safe4Athletes):

It is important that an athlete “respect” their coach (teammates, staff and volunteers), but sometimes, they act in ways that can be harmful and hurtful to young athletes. It is important for every athlete to understand what is unacceptable behavior and when to reach out to an adult to ask for help and guidance
