athlete protection

Athlete protection refers to measures and policies designed to ensure the safety, well-being, and rights of athletes, particularly young or vulnerable individuals. It encompasses various aspects, including safeguarding against abuse (physical, emotional, or sexual), ensuring fair treatment, and promoting a positive environment in sports. Organizations like schools and sports federations implement guidelines and training for coaches and staff to recognize and prevent harmful behaviors. Ultimately, athlete protection aims to create a safe space where athletes can develop their skills and enjoy sports without fear of harm or exploitation.
