In their words
Why this matters.
Parents, coaches and athletes on what safety in sport means to them. Every quote here is theirs, printed as they wrote it.
For over 18 years, I have been a sports parent. I've celebrated the wins, stood through the losses, and trusted others to care for my children when they stepped onto the field. That journey has taught me that nothing is more important than knowing our children are safe.
This initiative is very close to my heart as I feel every child and every woman deserves to enjoy sport in an environment where they feel safe, respected, and valued. If, together, we can make even one athlete's sporting journey safer, it is a step worth taking.
