Lisa Ingarfield and civil rights advocate Nancy Hogshead-Makar discuss the legal, systemic and cultural structures behind the athlete-coach relationship that provides an environment for sexual abuse to go unchecked and exploited by abusers. They unpack the work that is being done to prevent it and by educating our communities, coaches, athletes, parents to shift the culture around sexual abuse in sport. Nancy is a 1984 Olympic gold medalist swimmer, and the chief executive officer of Champion Women, an organization that provides legal advocacy for girls and women in sports.
