Lasso Safe's 'Sports Wellness Platform'
Taking part in sport doesn't just offer great benefits to physical health. It offers much more than that. It can provide participants with a safe space, a sense of purpose and long lasting friendships. It's all positive ... until it isn't. The feedback we get from working in the field of safeguarding in sport is that when things go wrong, and cases get reviewed, there were always early warning signs that were not acted upon.
How can we pick up on these low level concerns before they escalate into something more serious. Over the last six months, we've been in a dialogue with the team at Florida based Lasso Safe who have developed a wellness platform which gives early insights based on direct athlete feedback.
Lasso Safe has recently announced the introduction of their Sports Wellness Platform in Europe, Canada and Australia. Sports Wellness Platform is a new recognition tool to monitor athlete experiences and support sports organizations in preemptive safeguarding and sports development. Sports organizations everywhere – from amateur and Olympic governing bodies to youth and professional clubs – can use the platform to prioritize the health and safety of their people, maximize company value and optimize the human and social capital performance of their business.
Lasso Safe is founded by athlete "survivors" and led by a global coalition of independent industry experts. Together, they formed Sports Wellness Platform to apply the science of mental, emotional, physical and social environments to benefit the health and wellness of sports organizations and their people.
"Lasso Safe is very timely and ahead of the curve on current issues" - Luke Bodensteiner, board member at Lasso Safe and chief of sport development at Utah Olympic Legacy,
