Athletic Trainers as Leaders in Sexual Violence Prevention
RALIANCE
Athletic trainers are committed to using the best available evidence and practices to support the total development of the student-athlete. Research has shown the damaging physical and mental health impacts of sexual harassment, assault, and abuse on youth and young adults. Beyond assessing for violence, reporting disclosures of sexual violence, and connecting survivors for resources – there’s a critical need for coaches, athletic directors, sport medicine professionals, and athletic trainers to take action toward preventing sexual violence before it happens.
At RALIANCE, we know and believe in the potential of sport to prevent sexual and domestic violence, both in the world of athletics and beyond. In 2019, we partnered with Michigan State University (MSU) to host an invitation-only listening session that brought together athletic trainers from across the B1G (Big Ten) Conference and selected Division II and Division III universities to discuss the role of athletic trainers in preventing sexual violence.
Our new report, Athletic Trainers as Leaders in Sexual Violence Prevention, draws on the perspectives of this group to outline the unique role of athletic trainers in the sport pipeline, opportunities athletic trainers identified to promote sexual violence prevention, and the supports needed to carry out this vision.
This report looks at:
- How the role of athletic trainers is unique in the sport pipeline
- Why athletic trainers are poised to promote sexual violence prevention
- What athletic trainers need to be leaders in preventing sexual violence
- The barriers athletic trainers face to realizing this role and priorities to overcome them

Bullying Prevention Training for Coaches and Parents
National Alliance for Youth Sports
The National Alliance for Youth Sports is aware that bullying in sports is an extremely important topic for coaches and parents of young athletes regardless of the age of the players. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have found 20% of high school aged kids have experienced some form of bullying on school grounds alone in their lifetime. Those numbers only increase when incorporating recreation sports.
Because this is such an important subject, we have created optional bullying prevention training courses for NAYS Coaches and NAYS Parents as a supplement to the information they received during their training. NAYS has also decided to offer this course to everyone, completely FREE!

Coach and Administrator Training Programs
Up2Us
Sports and physical activity help kids build strong bodies and brains. Interactions with trained coaches help them build the skills they need for life. All of our trainings focus on creating capable, thoughtful youth development practitioners who use sport as the vehicle through which they build strong relationships with youth. To accomplish this, coaches must be able to create an inclusive, positive team culture, design practices with high levels of physical activity, and help youth translate the skills they learn on the field into other areas of their lives.

I AM THAT GIRL: Modern Girls on a Mission
Alexis Jones
Alexis Jones wants to redefine the meaning of “beautiful” and ignite an empowering revolution for females that will help them see themselves in a different light. This inspiring talk reveals the reality behind many of the images women see in the media and explains the pitfalls of relying on outside appearance as a measurement of self-worth. Instead, Alexis encourages girls to look inward for purpose, value, and power. What does it mean to be a powerful woman? How can you find strength in your imperfections? How can you use your unique voice to lift up other women instead of tearing them down? Alexis will answer these questions and teach you how to be that independent, confident girl who dares to lead other women into changing the world.
