Welcome to another episode of The Sporting Change Podcast!
In recent years, the Safe Sport movement has gained significant momentum, driven by powerful documentaries like "Athlete A" and "Broken," which expose the darker realities of sports culture. However, what often goes unacknowledged is the immense courage required for individuals to report harassment, maltreatment, and abuse.
Too frequently, those who speak up face ignorance, denial, or even blame for supposedly jeopardizing the sport they love. Silence can be just as damaging, leaving victims feeling isolated and unheard.
Today, we’re honoured to welcome Kim, a former gymnast whose remarkable journey embodies resilience and advocacy. Kim has bravely testified before parliamentary committees and engaged with over 70 government officials to spotlight systemic issues in sport.
Join us as we dive into this powerful conversation with Kim, exploring ways to prevent future abuse and support the rebuilding of a safer Canadian sports system. We hope you enjoy the episode!
