Sport integrity

All sports, including cycling, need a safe, trustworthy foundation on which to grow and thrive. Sport integrity is an imperative aspect of this foundation and coaches are key to maintaining and teaching that integrity. A coaches’ position as a knowledge source puts them in a position of power with athletes looking for that knowledge. Sport integrity training ensures that coaches understand the importance of their role, increases the trust in the safety of athletes and their families, and helps establish the positive foundation to ensure the sport thrives. Maintaining standards in sport integrity training is key to the long term prosperity of coaches, mentors, parents and those who hold influential roles in the sport, including athletes.
