That is why I sincerely thank Sport’Aide for their initiative which aims to prevent and counter bullying. The measures implemented as part of the Take action! Counter bullying in sports project will make a real difference for the athletes.
Bullying in a sports environment is unacceptable and prevents sport from playing its positive role among athletes and the community. With Take action!
