The Respectful Athlete: Online Training
Respect in sports is important. Young athletes must treat other players, coaches, officials, and spectators with respect at all times. This course is a self-paced learning experience that most participants can complete within 30 minutes. The objective is to help young athletes deepen their understanding of both acceptable and unacceptable attitudes and behaviours, and identify practical ways to support an inclusive, respectful sport environment.
