Leading the Way: Working with LGBTQ Athletes and Coaches
Leading the Way: Working with LGBTQ Athletes and Coaches
...is a comprehensive resource designed for coaches, based on the lived experiences of Canadian athletes and coaches.
The resource highlights current issues in Canadian sport and aims to make sport a more welcoming place for those who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans (transgender), two-spirited, queer or questioning (LGBTQ). Leading the Way provides information to help coaches understand LGBTQ phobia and the negative impact it has on everyone in their sport. It suggests best practices for creating a sport environment that is safe and respectful for all.

It was a lot of fun! We met some new little friends and celebrated our sport with club participants along the way.
It was SO much warmer than the Santa Claus Parade we participated in in the past!
