#WeRideTogether has created several tools that can be used to provide guidance and support for coaches, athletes, and parents. Continue reading below to learn more about our resources.
C.A.R.D. Diagrams

#WeRideTogether created the Coach Athlete Relationship Dynamics Diagrams (C.A.R.D. Diagrams) to help coaches, athletes, parents, and bystanders recognize and identify patterns of healthy and unhealthy relationship dynamics. These diagrams can be used as a gut check; think about conduct you experience and observe in your sporting community and discern if what is occurring aligns with a caring and supportive coach/athlete relationship. If you are experiencing or observing patterns of power and control, you can find additional information, including confidential helplines, sexual assault reporting procedures, and mental health resources, on our Crisis Resources page.

Coach Athlete Pledge

The Coach Athlete Pledge, a commitment to maintaining healthy training environments, summarizes 10 best practices to ensure that future generations of athletes have safe and positive experiences. The pledge serves as a valuable document that helps ensure all parties—athletes, parents, and coaches—understand the expected standards of behavior.

Global Abuse Prevalence Statistics

This compilation of research aims to display abuse statistics from a diverse set of athletes, sports, and levels of play. This resource provides data that can be reviewed holistically to better understand the global prevalence of abuse in athletics since 2015.

Justice Options for Athletes

There is no right or wrong method for seeking justice following the experience of sexual abuse or misconduct. #WeRideTogether suggests survivors reflect and evaluate their options and make decisions for themselves in accordance with what they need and are ready for, with the help of personal and professional support. We encourage you to use this resource, as well as learn about the laws in your state, consult with a legal options counselor, and/or chat with a restorative justice agency near you. It is recommended that you consult with an attorney with trauma-sensitive expertise in these areas to help you understand your options so you can decide which legal process(es) are best for you.

Know Your Rights

#WeRideTogether is committed to providing resources and information to survivors so that they can navigate various reporting processes armed with all the information they need. Survivors should be empowered to know their rights in every reporting situation. Our Know Your Rights Series will explore Title IX, SafeSport, civil processes, and criminal cases to provide survivors with straightforward, useful information.

Navigating College Tours: Asking Important Questions About Sexual Assault Prevention and Education

"Navigating College Tours: Asking Important Questions About Sexual Assault Prevention and Education" is a guide that has been a collaborative effort between #WeRideTogether and esteemed partners Callisto and The I Am Journey, who have worked tirelessly to create a resource that addresses a crucial aspect of the college selection process. The purpose of this guide is to empower college-bound students and their parents/guardians with the knowledge and tools they need to prioritize safety during college tours. We understand that choosing the right university involves considering many factors, and safety should be paramount among them. With this guide, we aim to provide essential questions that prospective students and their families can ask during college tours to gain insight into the institution's approach to sexual assault prevention and education.

S.A.B.I. Toolkit

#WeRideTogether created the Safe, Active Bystander Intervention Toolkit (S.A.B.I. Toolkit) to help coaches, athletes, parents, and staff serve as safe, active bystanders, furthering healthy athletic environments. By intervening when you see misconduct or abuse occur, you interrupt negative behavior patterns as they happen and emphasize best practices in prevention. This establishes crucial individual and group desires to change norms and expectations of how we all treat each other in the world of sport and beyond. Intervention additionally shows empathy and support for the person experiencing the harmful behavior. We know it can be hard to stand up against abuse. Remember, being an active bystander does not mean we have to be confrontational, but it does mean we have to act.

Safeguarding 101

#WeRideTogether created these resources to clarify and empower conversations around abuse and misconduct. The term safeguarding applies to actions taken to ensure participants are protected from harm. The goal of safeguarding is to proactively create safe and healthy sporting environments. This goal is achieved by providing clarity and standardizing expectations on preventative best practices and healthy relationship dynamics. These tools provides clear, accessible definitions for commonly used terms, helping to ensure that everyone—from athletes, coaches, parents, organizations, and athletic community members—has a shared understanding of key concepts. These tools also support individuals and systems in responding appropriately to safeguarding issues, complaints, and concerns.
