Commentary on Marvin Sharp’s life and suicide is starting to appear online:
Rebecca Schuman – Marvin Sharp Was My Gymnastics Coach
Though I often claim that gymnasts are the best protected children in your city – overall – Sharp’s story is a reminder to check our own Gym best practices.
Does your club allow coaches one-on-one time with children?
As Jessica frequently points out on GymCastic, coaches should not be burying heads in sand. Though rare – there are other Marvin Sharps still coaching today. Our profession must not enable them.
Cordellia linked to USAG’s We Care resources. Every coach and club should look those over to see if we can improve our club practices.
