A Survey & Analysis of Practices for
Athlete Inclusion in Sports Governance

As sports grapple with the implications of increased athlete engagement in governance, there remains a lack of standardized guidance to help organizations and athletes define effective working relationships.

We offer this work as a resource for sport organizations and athletes seeking to build stronger, more inclusive systems that benefit all stakeholders.
