Muhammad Ali Center Athletes and Social Change Forum
On March 29th, I'll have the pleasure of presenting for Doc Wayne (www.docwayne.org) A Bio-Psycho-Social Assessment of an Adjunctive Intervention for Youth in Residential Treatment at the Muhammad Ali Center Athletes and Social Change Forum. The Forum will be held at the Muhammad Ali Center (http://alicenter.org) in Louisville, Kentucky on March 29th and 30th.
The Forum seeks to "advance education, advocacy and research on the role and contribution of athletes toward and within social change, human rights and development. What does it mean for athletes to engage in social change, philanthropy and work within the community? The Forum aims to examine and provide diverse perspectives in the intersection of athletes and social change and represents a partnership between the Muhammad Ali Center, the University of Louisville and Brown University."
"The Muhammad Ali Center Athletes and Social Change Forum is an amazing opportunity to convene practitioners, scholars, athletes and activists working at the intersection of social change, human rights and development. The vision and values of the Muhammad Ali Center represent a perfect home and platform for this engaged community."
- Eli Wolff, Brown University
"The Muhammad Ali Center Athletes and Social Change Forum will help us see sport through a different lens. The outcomes on the field of play are not nearly as meaningful as the impact people in sport can have on communities in need. There could be no better place than the birthplace of Muhammad Ali to host this forum on using sport to promote social change."
- Mary Hums, University of Louisville
This Forum will focus on the following considerations:
1. The roles and responsibilities athletes have beyond the playing field.
2. The ways athletes can serve as educators and advocates to address social problems within and outside of sports.
3. How the global sporting community encourages or discourages athletes working in the realm of social change.
4. The roles educational institutions play in providing grounding for athletes to make the connections between athletics, academics and the community.

Love in Youth Sport
In a recent coaches' training, the topic of love was brought up by a participant.
Love in youth sport is a tricky topic given some of the recent abuse scandals.
To add, the coaches' teams were from special populations that are especially vulnerable including youth living in residential treatment, group homes, and underserved youth.
After much discussion, a few meaningful comments were made including:
Love in youth sport is a tricky topic given some of the recent abuse scandals.
To add, the coaches' teams were from special populations that are especially vulnerable including youth living in residential treatment, group homes, and underserved youth.
After much discussion, a few meaningful comments were made including:
- Appropriate physical and emotional boundaries are of utmost importance.
- Creating an environment where a child feels safe, cared for, and has healthy attachments is desirable within the sport and coaching context.
- Caring can be modeled through your interactions with your coaching staff and others that are in the sport context.
Any thoughts to add?
