About ProtectAthletes

Making athlete safety easier to see.

Important information about athlete injuries, youth safety, emerging risks and new safety technology is often scattered across news reports, public records, organizations and hundreds of individual websites. ProtectAthletes brings those signals together in one place.

Why ProtectAthletes exists

Athlete safety information should not be difficult to find simply because it lives in different places.

ProtectAthletes is an independent safety intelligence resource built to organize developments affecting athletes, parents, coaches, schools, sports organizations and the people responsible for creating safer athletic environments.

Our goal is not to create more noise. It is to make important developments easier to discover, understand and follow.

Safety intelligence should lead somewhere.

A single incident may be isolated. A pattern of incidents can be something entirely different. By bringing information together geographically and chronologically, ProtectAthletes is designed to make those patterns easier to recognize.

Independent by design

ProtectAthletes is an independent information resource. We are not a governing body, medical organization, law-enforcement agency or regulatory authority.

Our role is to organize publicly available information and make it easier to explore. Inclusion of a person, organization, school, team, facility, company or event on ProtectAthletes does not by itself indicate wrongdoing, negligence or responsibility.

Reports may change as additional facts become available. We believe accuracy matters, and we welcome corrections or additional context when something deserves another look.
