What do USASF members say about us?
Parents
This training covered some very important topics, ones that are sometimes difficult and uncomfortable to discuss. The way the topics were presented was excellent! Everything was very clear and the real life examples were helpful to see how easily our children can become victims. Thank you for putting this together to keep our athletes safe. It even put focus on things I didn't think were dangerous opportunities, and will help me better protect my daughter.
I think any opportunity to help keep our child athletes safe and remind both kids and adults of the unfortunate dangers of the world today is a very worthwhile venture. So much of it should be common sense but we always want to believe it can't happen to us. If your efforts help even one child or family avoid a tragedy your efforts have been worthwhile.
Overall, the training was very well done. There were many important messages in both trainings. Although some might view the examples as "common sense", it was a good reminder for us as parents and for our athletes that they always need to be vigilant regardless of their surroundings. As we get ready to return to a "normal" competition season, we needed to hear this information as we will be in unfamiliar surroundings frequently and much has changed in the world around us in the past two years. I appreciate USASF's desire to keep our athletes safe. Thanks for your dedication to keeping our kids safe!

Very in depth and eye opening training. "In my competitive years, from being lined up best to worst and having feet or knees slapped for lack of perfection; this training hit really close to home. As a coach, I strive everyday to teach my athletes that they are capable and strong in the body, mind and spirit. It all starts with the words we use. Our thoughts and actions shape our reality, never let anyone take away your power.

The videos were fantastic! There is absolutely NOTHING - NOT ONE THING - that is more important to us than athlete safety.

We feel united in the mission and will continue to do all we can to maintain a Haven where families feel welcome and are safe.
