Anti-Bullying Programs
For Sports
Fair
Play vs. Foul Play.
Appropriate vs. Inappropriate Behavior.
Trash Talk?
Playing to Win�or Bullying?
On the sports field or court, a fine line exists between competitive play and bullying. When
does a player cross the line between fair play and foul play?
I have spoken on ESPN radio to deal with the problems of bullying within sports. The increased
involvement of negative behavior by parents on and off the field has led to Codes of Conduct
being utilized around the country to lessen the impact of bullying.
The Respect U Sports Program was developed to help decrease bullying behavior seen
on the sports field. It provides coaches, players and parents with the material they need to
reduce the bullying that negatively impacts the enjoyment of sports in our youth.
My training is practical, flexible and entertaining�and involves the entire team and community
in solutions. If we provide the guidelines for sports to be competitive and fun, and help teams
develop a �winning� attitude that does not involve bullying, we�re on our way to a successful
season. I help players, coaches and teammates learn the difference between �fair play� and �foul
play,� which sets the bullying line from the first day of practice.
The program covers:
- Bullying in the sports environment - Is it necessary or a hindrance to success?
- On and off-the-field (e.g., locker room, Internet, on-the-road) bullying
- Gender differences in bullying and its rapid change
- The critical role of teammates doing the right thing
The program has been implemented successfully with all levels of players and a variety of
sports.
