SAFE SPORT TRAINING UNIT 3 STUDY REVIEW LATEST UPDATE Objectives - In this unit, you will learn: ~How to recognize and prevent bullying behavior among your athletes ~What hazing is and how it negatively affects your team ~What makes athletes vulnerable to harassment and how to create a safe environment where it's less likely to occur ~What constitutes emotional misconduct and physical misconduct ~How to distinguish when pushing an athlete to succeed crosses the line into emotional or physical misconduct Understanding Bullying Behavior - Bullying is defined as repeated and/or severe behavior(s) that are (a) aggressive (b) directed at a Minor, and (c) intended or likely to hurt, control, or diminish the Minor emotionally, physically or sexually. But what distinguishes bullying behavior from other incidents we might think of as mean or rude? After all, conflicts and disagreements do erupt between players on and off the field. How do we know when behaviors cross over into bu llying? Imbalance of Power - Bullying happens between peers, but a bully has more power than their target: physically, socially or emotionally. Repetition - Typically, bullying is not a one -time incident: the behavior may not be severe but is repeated ov er and over. If severe enough, a single incident can also constitute bullying. A History of Conflict - If two athletes already have a relationship marked by conflict, the behavior probably isn't friendly bantering. Specific Behaviors - The Centers for Di sease Control and Prevention (CDC) identifies four types of bullying: ~Verbal: Using words, statement or insults in a negative way ~~Name -calling ~~Teasing ~~Intimidation ~~Threatening to cause harm ~Physical: Any type of unwanted physical force ~~Hitting ~~KickingTripping ~~Other forms of physical aggression Social: Harming others through the manipulation and damage of their peer relationships ~~Spreading rumors ~~Leaving out individuals ~~Embarrassing someone ~~Ignoring a teammate ~Damage to p roperty: Damaging or threatening to damage an individual's personal belongings Cyberbullying - In 2014, over 25% of youth reported that they experienced bullying through technology. 24/7 connections to social media and text messaging make cyberbullying pe rvasive. Because it happens away from practice and competition settings, coaches are often unaware cyberbullying is going on. Open each of the apps for messages that will help you learn more about cyberbullying. iMessages - Girls are more likely to be cy berbullied than boys. 37% of girls report being cyberbullied (vs. 30% of boys). Source: Patchin et al. 2016 cyberbullying data. Email - Cyberbullying also includes stealing account information to post damaging material as another person. Facebook - The m ost common methods of cyberbullying are spreading rumors and making mean or hurtful comments online. Instagram - Unlike other forms of bullying, cyberbullies can often remain anonymous, and gain a much wider audience for their bullying. Snapchat - Taking or circulating unwanted pictures of someone is a form of cyberbullying. Preventing Bullying Behaviors - Setting clear expectations about behaviors that will not be tolerated on your team is an important step in preventing bullying, but p erhaps just as important is creating a positive environment for all athletes. Creating that environment starts with you: A caring, engaged and responsible coach can dramatically reduce the impact of bullying behavior on an athlete.
