About Humans of Sport

Equipping athletes with the tools to secure their livelihoods, remedy injustices, and strengthen access to rights, empowering them to change their own lives and the realm of sport. Join us on this journey towards success! The Problem Private sport governing bodies (federations & multi-sport organisations etc.) prioritise their economic interests and cultural biases over the well-being of individuals in sport. This can marginalize, exclude, and even directly harm individual athletes. While certain organisations in the sporting ecosystem are engaging with institutions to change harmful policies, there is an urgent need for initiatives to strengthen and empower individuals facing discrimination, abuse & exclusion. In particular, athletes from Global South countries – who are marginalized in sport & in society, need such support. The Solution Transform athlete lives to revolutionise sport. Recognizing the agency and dignity of every human in sport, we empower athletes with the tools to secure their livelihoods against the threat of exclusionary policies; seek remedy for injustices committed against them; and demand full and equal access to human rights. We provide negotiation, leadership, and advocacy skills training to help them improve not only their own lives, but sport itself. By tackling systemic wrongs and, when possible, using their public platforms to speak out, these athletes can play a powerful role in realizing a more just and inclusive society.
