“Basketball was like breathing for our son, but his final high school year he quit the team along with five other senior players and has not played competitively since.” -Jennifer Fraser

For many years I have been trying to expose bullying/abuses in the workplace and schools.  And that includes sports.  My P.I.E.S. journey has led me to many like-minded people.  Today, I would like you to meet warrior mom and professor, Dr. Jennifer Fraser.

In 2012, Jennifer Fraser was pulled into a crisis at a private school where she was informed by parents that teachers were bullying student-athletes. What followed from that moment was a shocking discovery that more often than not, the systems we have in place to protect children, in fact, do an about-face and protect the accused adults. We are seeing this unfold in USA Gymnastics and have seen a long history of this same scenario that seems entrenched in our culture. USA Gymnastics’ failure to protect abuse victims bears little difference from the Catholic Church, schools, Boy Scouts, and the list goes on. Fraser wrote a book on this issue and Teaching Bullies was published in 2015. This year, she launches an international online Summit to End Bullying and Abuse in Sports. It is FREE, and it is a fantastic resource of exceptional speakers who want to shine a spotlight on this issue. Please join us and please spread the word so that we can make positive change.
