Athletes of all levels, from recreational to elites, can experience abuse including harassment.
It doesn’t matter when misconduct took place, as neither criminal nor civil statutes of limitation apply, according to the USATF. No matter what you see or hear, whether a minor tells you something their teammate said, report it. That’s the best chance of promoting athlete safety, according to the SafeSport training.
School-based teams may have additional procedures and important point people such as athletic directors, teachers, and counselors in place. Collegiate programs include several resources, says Angelina Ramos, University of Nevada Las Vegas cross country coach. Examples include Senior Women’s Administrators, an office of Title IX, Student Athlete Advisory Committee, and mental health centers.
“If you feel that something’s uncomfortable, don’t ignore it,” says Arianna Lambie, former professional runner who belonged to the Nike Oregon Project from 2008 to 2010. “Don’t go it alone. We have a tendency to try to solve our own problems.” No matter how stuck you may feel, experts, coaches, and athlete welfare organizations encourage you to speak to someone you trust or a respected resource like an anonymous helpline. Perhaps there’s a counselor, friend, teacher, parent, or doctor with whom you can share your experience. The experts interviewed encouraged peers and parents alike to listen extra diligently to your teammates and young athletes.
