SAFE COMBAT Podcast – Episode 2: Key Research Insights & Safeguarding Challenges

Описание: Welcome back to the SAFE COMBAT podcast! In our second episode, hosts Leonardo and Julianne take a deep dive into the comprehensive research report developed as part of the Erasmus+ Sport project: SAFEguarding Code for COMBAT Sports and Martial Arts (SAFE COMBAT).

We explore the unique environments athletes navigate and discuss how to bridge the gap between rigorous discipline and genuine empathy. This episode breaks down the five critical areas of safeguarding identified in the project’s research:

Interpersonal Violence: Addressing safety within training environments.

Weight Cutting: The physical and mental risks of rapid weight loss.

Injuries & Concussions: Managing long-term risks and brain health.

The Role of Coaches: Moving beyond technique to provide emotional support.

Cultural Norms: Challenging behaviors that normalize harm in combat sports.

Join us as we discuss the importance of a holistic approach to athlete well-being and introduce upcoming project resources, including the Safeguarding Code and our massive open online course (MOOC).
