On today’s PerformHappy Podcast episode, I’m thrilled to welcome Professor Jaime Hamilton, a communication expert and fierce advocate for bullying awareness. Jaime founded The Comm Experts to bridge the gap between higher education and real-world contexts, focusing on bullying prevention and awareness. With over 20 years of teaching experience, she is passionate about enhancing communication in all areas of life.

Bullying in youth sports is a challenge many face, whether from peers, coaches, or parents. Professor Hamilton provides practical strategies to combat bullying, from creating a bully-free training environment to addressing situations where your own child might be the bully.

Please note, that this episode discusses sensitive topics like abuse and suicide. Take care while listening.

Emotional Abuse in Gymnastics and its Impact on Young Athletes.

Bullying Awareness and Communication Strategies for Kids.

Using Words to Reduce Bullying Power Dynamics.

How to Respond to Bullying from Authority Figures.

How Parents can Approach Coaches to Address Concerns about their Child's Sports Performance.
