We Are Investigating Sexual Abuse in Professional Women’s Soccer

“The report, led by former acting attorney general Sally Q. Yates and released Monday, was based on over 200 interviews and reveals the National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) under the US Soccer Federation failed to provide a safe environment for players.” – CNN, October 3, 2022

More than one in four women college athletes (all sports) experience some type of sports-related sexual abuse during college, and often coaches are the perpetrators.

Coaches Are Given Carte Blanche When They’re Winning.

In addition to sexual abuse, there are reports of verbal and psychological abuse, which includes daily body-shaming, personal taunts, isolation, manipulation and physical punishment reminiscent of military hazing. The torment results in higher instances of eating disorders, depression and suicidal ideation. Many players end up quitting, even if it means forfeiting their scholarships.

Psychologically, the problem goes so deep. For love of the game and a chance at greatness, top athletes are vulnerable to degradation, humiliation and sexual predation from the same authority figures who can give them a shot at their dreams.

How Will Your Story End?

If you survived a coach’s or a team doctor’s sexual, physical or emotional abuse please contact us right away to learn about potential legal options. We want to hear your story. By telling it, you could get your power back and prevent another player’s trauma.

We Urge You: Don’t Doubt Your Instincts. If You “Think” It Was Abuse, It Probably Was. But NONE OF THIS Was Your Fault.

The Movement is Beginning.

Soccer players need to come forward to create lasting change in the sports’ athletic culture. Action is time-sensitive while the issue is in the spotlight, pressured to address allegations of coaching misconduct they have previously ignored. It may be a temporary window of opportunity.

We’ve Fought This Battle Before.
