This presentation explores human trafficking in the world of athletics. Young athletes and their families strive to attain success at the highest levels of their sport and entrust seemingly qualified adults with their development. Mr. Burke provides examples of ways the power dynamic between young athletes and their coaches, administrators, and other authority figures contributes to sexual abuse, grooming and other inappropriate behaviors. He will also examine ways to prevent this behavior and provide examples of best practices that Wilmington University uses to do so.
