Fueled by dreams and hosted in a culture of silence, youth sports participants are uniquely vulnerable to abuse. Seventy-five percent of youth athletes are verbally abused (27M are under the age of 13), 10 out of every 100 hundred youth battle eating disorders – intense coaching and body shaming are said to be the prime reason in sport, and athletes are 60% more likely to experience depression than non-athletes. They are thirty percent more likely to be sexually assaulted.
Lasso Safe is committed to empowering a safe, prosperous culture for all through Lasso Safe. Our vision is to protect and strengthen sport with safe practice standards based on in-depth and current research. Our mission is to empower the leaders of sport to secure safe communities and protect athletes.
