A Brighter Future
You are not alone
Watching the documentary Athlete A was a watershed moment for thousands of gymnasts around the world. The film not only champions the courageous survivors who experienced devastating treatment at the hands of Larry Nassar, but also demonstrates the shocking practices within gymnastics which silence athletes through a culture fear. It’s time for change within our sport and we have the power to act. Please join us in helping to end the exploitation and abuse of gymnasts by sharing our resources and educating those around you on how abuse shows up.
“I believe accountability is one of the most important drivers for change & I hope the steps we are taking will contribute to improved child & athlete safeguarding, not just in gymnastics but in all sports.”
