I know of a coach that was actually under investigation from the school. During the investigation she held a team meeting and said to the girls - "I know some of your parents have a big problem with me, do any of you have a problem with me?" What kid is going to raise their hand nad let her know?laxinallthetime wrote: ↑Tue Apr 30, 2024 1:35 pm So we see all these very supportive organizations on mental health all over social and being brought to college campuses yet athletes are still afraid to speak up about toxic coaches, why is that? Unfortuantely I know one or two athletes who are dealing with toxic coaches but no one wants to come forward. The schools which they attend allow "anonymous reporting" via a compliance center but how anonymous is it really? The fear of retaliation is very real as evidenced by upper classman who voiced their concerns years prior and were ultimately benched. What does every one consider toxic? Demeaning, degrading comments? Passive aggresive remarks that systematically breaks some one down and these remarks come where no one else witnesses it? Or humilating an athelet in front of other players? What does one do when there are three or four coaches on staff and one is the bully? not necissarily the head coach but an assistant and the others meekly sit by and allow that one to bully and intimidate atheletes? And when the meek coaches are without the bully they are completely different people? Seriously the mental abuse has to stop. When will coaches get it?
She was made to take classes to self improve - that's all.
