Training Programs

for Coaches and
athletics Staff

Several high-performing athletic programs have been exposed for fostering abusive and toxic cultures. Despite these cases of toxic cultures existing in professional sports environments, they are cultivated throughout an athlete’s life at every level of the game. We are here to support coaches and athletics staff to navigate challenging conversations and role model principles of respect, safety, and inclusion.
