This Winter Games,
SafeSport Is United for Every Athlete, Every Moment
Every athlete started somewhere: clipping into their first pair of skis, gripping their first hockey stick, stepping out for the first time onto the ice. And every moment, from the carpool to practice to competing for the podium, matter in an athlete’s career and life.
At the U.S. Center for SafeSport, we believe athlete safety and well-being are at the heart of every competition. By working to make sport settings safer for all participants, SafeSport is helping protect athletes from abuse and misconduct at every moment—from the first time they lace up their skates to competing on the world’s highest stage, and all the moments in between.
When all of us are united against abuse, we’re united in protecting all athletes. This Winter Games, learn what you can do to help foster a safer, more supportive sport experience for the athletes in your life. Visit our Milano Cortina webpage to access abuse prevention resources, learn how we offer support during the reporting and investigative process, explore resources created for Games athletes, and more.
Protect The Dream
Safer athletes are thriving athletes. When athletes feel supported on and off the slopes, they’re more likely to strive and succeed.
Watch this inspiring video to learn more about how the U.S. Center for SafeSport works to safeguard moments big and small for athletes—helping protect the sport, the moments, and the dream.
Abuse Prevention at Every Level
As the only organization with the authority to resolve reports of abuse and misconduct within the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Movement, we’re committed to building sport communities that are free of emotional, physical, and sexual abuse and misconduct.
We support the more than 11 million individuals throughout the Movement—including the American athletes competing at the Milano Cortina Games. But our support doesn’t begin with elite athletes competing internationally. It begins with safeguarding millions of grassroots athletes competing at every level across the nation.
Our abuse prevention resources inform and educate parents, coaches, athletes, and others about characteristics of positive sport settings so all athletes can enjoy the benefits of abuse-free practice and competition. Learn more at uscenterforsafesport.org.
