As athletes, sport builds us up. It challenges us and helps us grow. But in order to do this, sport settings should be free of misconduct and abuse. And, ideally, they should be safe, supportive, and respectful so participants can thrive as athletes and in life.
Many athletes want sport to be safer for all participants, but they don’t know how they can help make this a reality. At the U.S. Center for SafeSport, we believe your voice and your experience as an athlete count, which is why we’re inviting athletes to take the 2024 Athlete Culture & Climate Survey.
Designed to empower athlete voices and assess athlete experiences across the world of sport, this critical survey will help shed needed light on our nation’s sport culture. If you have an athlete experience to share – be it positive or negative – your survey response will help the U.S. Center for SafeSport inform the wider sports sector about athlete needs, leading to needed awareness and culture change in sport environments across the United States.
The survey is open to athletes age 18 and over who have participated in any sport, at any age or level, in the United States. And, as a token of appreciation, all athletes who complete the survey will be entered to win one of two hundred $20 Amazon gift cards or one of four $100 Amazon gift cards, all of which will be randomly selected and sent out after the survey closes.
As athletes, we all know that the environments we find ourselves in can mean the difference between loving the game and walking away. With your voice, you can change the sport you love for the better – and help make future experiences for athletes more positive.
Exercise your voice today and take the survey by Friday, February 11, 2024.
*Must be 18 years of age or over located in the United States to participate. Survey closes February 11, 2024 at 12:00am CT.
