What it means is not making athletes take the stand unless absolutely necessary—not retraumatizing them. I also think we need to allow for an infrastructure that is whole to thrive, as well. It's not just about bad actors; it's about the NSO that supported them.
In the same breath, it's also about the good actors, like my coach. While I flew home with a gold medal, she flew home with no job. NSOs were given an opportunity to build on a culture that was creating positive change and happy, healthy athletes. Ninety-five per cent of C-suite women come from a background in sport. We're not just building medals, here. We're building something bigger.
